Virtual Boy Escape

A strange little side quest

A little context makes Virtual Boy Escape more fun to place on the gaming map. Sonic the Hedgehog launched in 1991 and turned speed itself into a defining platform-game mechanic. The surprising part is how quickly the next milestone followed. Nintendo's Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 and introduced the character first known as Jumpman, who later became Mario. Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
