Steve Zombie Shooter belongs to a much longer story of play than a browser tab might suggest. M.U.L.E. arrived in 1983 with multiplayer competition built around gathering resources and keeping a colony alive, an early example of resource-driven strategy play. And the history keeps stacking up: Space Invaders arrived in 1978 and helped turn electronic games from an arcade curiosity into mainstream entertainment. The screen is modern; the urge to test skill, pattern and timing definitely is not.
