A strange little side quest
A small trivia drop for Zombie Easter Bunnies: Doom changed game design and distribution in 1993 by separating its engine from content and spreading widely through shareware. And then there is this: Computer Space reached arcades in 1971 and became one of the earliest commercial electronic arcade games, even though its controls proved demanding for many players. That long chain of experiments is part of why action games still feels fresh when a game finds the right twist.
