A strange little side quest
A quick detour while Swords and Sandals waits for your next move: Alexey Pajitnov created Tetris in 1984 after drawing inspiration from pentomino puzzles, then simplified the idea around shapes made from four squares. And then there is this: Boxing entered the modern Olympic Games in 1904 at St. Louis. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Swords and Sandals feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
