A strange little side quest
Here is a rabbit hole for the next loading screen in Volunteer to the Darkness: Space Invaders arrived in 1978 and helped turn electronic games from an arcade curiosity into mainstream entertainment. Another piece of context lands nicely beside it: Computer Space reached arcades in 1971 and became one of the earliest commercial electronic arcade games, even though its controls proved demanding for many players. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Volunteer to the Darkness feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
