GROMBI FACT DROPREAL-WORLD TRIVIA
A strange little side quest
Even a quick game like Sprunki Parasite sits on top of decades — and sometimes centuries — of ideas. 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. There is another connection worth keeping in the same mental pocket: Atari's Gran Trak 10 from 1974 is recognized as the first arcade racing video game. It is a good reminder that simple game mechanics can carry a surprising amount of history.
What you are getting into
Sprunki Parasite is a digital phenomenon that grew out of the musical game Incredibox. In this base game, the player creates melodies by combining different characters that emit sounds. However, Sprunki Parasite transformed this experience into something more disturbing and viral. Sprunki is one of the Incredibox characters. In the beginning, he was just another character contributing to the music. However, the gaming community started experimenting with this character, creating distorted and scary versions, accompanied by disturbing sounds and disturbing animations.
