World Wars

A strange little side quest

The rules may be simple on screen, but the backstory around World Wars is anything but tiny. Modern chess traces back to the Indian game chaturanga, recorded around the sixth century and built around pieces representing parts of an army. That is only half the story. Midway's Gun Fight from 1975 was the first arcade video game to use a microprocessor. The screen is modern; the urge to test skill, pattern and timing definitely is not.
