A strange little side quest
Put Yoga Master: Flex Running next to the history of platform games and a few unexpected connections appear. Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 with a character called Jumpman, who would later become one of gaming's most recognizable figures: Mario. And the history keeps stacking up: Women competed in Olympic archery as early as 1904, making it one of the early Olympic sports to include women. So a round of Yoga Master: Flex Running is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer platform games timeline.
