Swampy Assault

A strange little side quest

Here is a rabbit hole for the next loading screen in Swampy Assault: Space Invaders arrived in 1978 and helped turn electronic games from an arcade curiosity into mainstream entertainment. And then there is this: The word 'checkmate' is linked to the Persian expression 'shah mat', used when the king was trapped. That history is one reason familiar mechanics can still feel new when they are recombined well.
