A strange little side quest
There is a neat bit of history hiding behind the kind of play you find in Wipeout with Ed Edd n Eddy. Midway's Gun Fight from 1975 was the first arcade video game to use a microprocessor. The timeline takes another interesting turn: Nintendo's Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 and introduced the character first known as Jumpman, who later became Mario. Not bad for a few facts hiding behind a Play button.
