A strange little side quest
A little context makes Strike Squad more fun to place on the gaming map. 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. And the history keeps stacking up: Chess changed dramatically in Europe during the 15th and 16th centuries when the queen became the board's most powerful piece. So a round of Strike Squad is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer role-playing games timeline.
