A strange little side quest
Sorter: Ragdoll Playground Shooter may feel immediate, but the ideas around archery have been evolving for a very long time. Archery first appeared at the Olympic Games in 1900 and returned permanently to the programme in 1972 after a long absence. The broader history adds one more wrinkle. Space Invaders arrived in 1978 and helped turn electronic games from an arcade curiosity into mainstream entertainment. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Sorter: Ragdoll Playground Shooter feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
