A strange little side quest
Between one round of Taxi Empire: Airport Tycoon and the next, this is worth knowing: M.U.L.E. arrived in 1983 with multiplayer competition built around gathering resources and keeping a colony alive, an early example of resource-driven strategy play. The same trail leads to another fact: Atari's Gran Trak 10 from 1974 is recognized as the first arcade racing video game. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Taxi Empire: Airport Tycoon feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
