A strange little side quest
Grombi trivia break for The Big Motti: Doom changed game design and distribution in 1993 by separating its engine from content and spreading widely through shareware. A second detail makes the picture even better: Computer Space reached arcades in 1971 and became one of the earliest commercial electronic arcade games, even though its controls proved demanding for many players. So a round of The Big Motti is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer action games timeline.
