A strange little side quest
Here is a rabbit hole for the next loading screen in Russian Offroad Pickup Driver: Atari's Gran Trak 10 from 1974 is recognized as the first arcade racing video game, decades before modern 3D racers. That is only half the story. Nintendo's Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 and introduced the character first known as Jumpman, who later became Mario. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Russian Offroad Pickup Driver feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
