A strange little side quest
One reason simulation games keeps producing good game ideas around The Doctor Hospital is that its history is full of strange turns. 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. And the history keeps stacking up: Nintendo's Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 and introduced the character first known as Jumpman, who later became Mario. That long chain of experiments is part of why simulation games still feels fresh when a game finds the right twist.
