Storm the House

A strange little side quest

A quick detour while Storm the House waits for your next move: Gun Fight reached arcades in 1975 and became the first arcade video game to use a microprocessor. The broader history adds one more wrinkle. The word 'checkmate' is linked to the Persian expression 'shah mat', used when the king was trapped. That long chain of experiments is part of why action games still feels fresh when a game finds the right twist.
