A strange little side quest
Between one round of Wounded Summer Baby Edition and the next, this is worth knowing: Early computer role-playing games helped turn rules, inventories, exploration and character progression into systems that could support long-form digital adventures. A second detail makes the picture even better: Pong was field-tested in California bars in 1972 and helped launch the modern arcade-game era. That gives Wounded Summer Baby Edition a little more company than it first appears to have.
