A strange little side quest
A little context makes Squareking of Summer more fun to place on the gaming map. Archery first appeared at the Olympic Games in 1900 and returned permanently to the programme in 1972 after a long absence. That old idea kept changing rather than disappearing. Nintendo's Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 and introduced the character first known as Jumpman, who later became Mario. So a round of Squareking of Summer is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer archery timeline.
