Skill & Precision Games · 64

Trackballs became arcade favorites for games such as Centipede because they could translate a fast hand flick into unusually direct screen movement. There is a practical reason this matters in games: The sound of a successful action can become a timing cue on its own, which is why skilled players sometimes perform worse with the audio muted. The restart key deserves its own achievement for hours worked.

A fact with good replay value

A metronome was originally a musician’s timing tool, not a game accessory. Rhythm games effectively turn the same idea into an interactive score challenge. A different kind of surprise: Kendama looks like a wooden ball tied to a stick with cups, yet advanced players can link catches, spikes and balance tricks into long routines. The toy became especially standardized and popular in Japan during the twentieth century.
