A strange little side quest
Zoom out from Space Frog! for a moment and the timeline gets surprisingly deep. Voyager 1 entered interstellar space in 2012, and Voyager 2 followed in 2018. Another piece of context lands nicely beside it: Early computer role-playing games helped turn rules, inventories, exploration and character progression into systems that could support long-form digital adventures. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Space Frog! feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
