A strange little side quest
The mechanics around Trump Wobble Walk Challenge have roots that stretch far beyond modern browsers. 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. There is another connection worth keeping in the same mental pocket: Spacewar! appeared on MIT's PDP-1 in 1962 and became one of the earliest influential computer games shared among programmers. So a round of Trump Wobble Walk Challenge is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer simulation games timeline.
