A strange little side quest
Even a quick game like Where Is My Cat sits on top of decades — and sometimes centuries — of ideas. Atari's Gran Trak 10 from 1974 is recognized as the first arcade racing video game. That old idea kept changing rather than disappearing. Pong was field-tested in California bars in 1972 and helped launch the modern arcade-game era. The screen is modern; the urge to test skill, pattern and timing definitely is not.
