A strange little side quest
Unikitty: Save the Kingdom has plenty of company in a long tradition of players chasing timing, patterns and better decisions. By 1987, fantasy role-playing had become a major computer-game direction, with Zelda, licensed Dungeons & Dragons games and other story-led adventures expanding the form. A second detail makes the picture even better: Boxing was part of the ancient Olympic Games by 688 BC, long before gloves, weight classes, or timed rounds existed in anything like their modern form. So a round of Unikitty: Save the Kingdom is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer role-playing games timeline.
