A strange little side quest
Zoom out from Slither Classic for a moment and the timeline gets surprisingly deep. Atari's Gran Trak 10 from 1974 is recognized as the first arcade racing video game. The surprising part is how quickly the next milestone followed. Space Invaders, released in 1978, helped push video games into mainstream popular culture. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Slither Classic feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
