A strange little side quest
A little context makes They Came From Above more fun to place on the gaming map. Modern chess traces back to the Indian game chaturanga, recorded around the sixth century and built around pieces representing parts of an army. That is only half the story. Street Fighter II, released in 1991, turned head-to-head arcade fighting into a worldwide phenomenon and helped define the modern fighting-game genre. So a round of They Came From Above is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer strategy games timeline.
