A strange little side quest
The mechanics around Skyline Defender have roots that stretch far beyond modern browsers. SimCity grew out of Will Wright's enjoyment of the map editor he had built for an earlier game; the act of shaping a city became the game itself. And then there is this: Gun Fight reached arcades in 1975 and became the first arcade video game to use a microprocessor. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Skyline Defender feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
