A strange little side quest
Between one round of Swamp Attack Online and the next, this is worth knowing: Modern chess traces back to the Indian game chaturanga, recorded around the sixth century and built around pieces representing parts of an army. The broader history adds one more wrinkle. Doom changed game design and distribution in 1993 by separating its engine from content and spreading widely through shareware. That gives Swamp Attack Online a little more company than it first appears to have.
