A strange little side quest
Between one round of SteppenWolf (Chapter 1 - Episode 4) and the next, this is worth knowing: By 1987, fantasy role-playing had become a major computer-game direction, with Zelda, licensed Dungeons & Dragons games and other story-led adventures expanding the form. The timeline takes another interesting turn: Space Invaders, released in 1978, helped push video games into mainstream popular culture. So a round of SteppenWolf (Chapter 1 - Episode 4) is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer role-playing games timeline.
