A strange little side quest
Between one round of The Only Tower and the next, this is worth knowing: Nintendo's Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 and introduced the character first known as Jumpman, who later became Mario. And then there is this: Games resembling checkers were being played thousands of years ago; evidence of related games reaches back to around 1600 BC. Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
