A strange little side quest
Before the next round of The Pig Escape WebGL, here is a piece of the bigger picture. Pac-Man went on sale in 1980, and its creator Toru Iwatani famously linked the character's shape to a pizza with a slice missing. And then there is this: Street Fighter II, released in 1991, turned head-to-head arcade fighting into a worldwide phenomenon and helped define the modern fighting-game genre. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at The Pig Escape WebGL feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
