A strange little side quest
If Slender Clown: Be Afraid of it sends you down a curiosity rabbit hole, start here. Space Invaders arrived in 1978 and helped turn electronic games from an arcade curiosity into mainstream entertainment. Another piece of context lands nicely beside it: Computer Space reached arcades in 1971 and became one of the earliest commercial electronic arcade games, even though its controls proved demanding for many players. So a round of Slender Clown: Be Afraid of it is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer action games timeline.
