A strange little side quest
If Swing Fling sends you down a curiosity rabbit hole, start here. Sonic the Hedgehog launched in 1991 and turned speed itself into a defining platform-game mechanic. Another piece of context lands nicely beside it: Pong was field-tested in California bars in 1972 and helped launch the modern arcade-game era. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Swing Fling feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
