GROMBI FACT DROPREAL-WORLD TRIVIA
A strange little side quest
The rules may be simple on screen, but the backstory around Slash Knight is anything but tiny. The Oregon Trail mixed travel, supplies, risk and survival decisions decades before resource-management systems became common in mainstream games. The timeline takes another interesting turn: By 1987, fantasy role-playing had become a major computer-game direction, with Zelda, licensed Dungeons & Dragons games and other story-led adventures expanding the form. Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
