A strange little side quest
A small trivia drop for Sprunki Phase: Early computer role-playing games helped turn rules, inventories, exploration and character progression into systems that could support long-form digital adventures. Another piece of context lands nicely beside it: Pong was field-tested in California bars in 1972 and helped launch the modern arcade-game era. So a round of Sprunki Phase is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer role-playing games timeline.
