If you’ve ever wondered why your games moving left to right just feels right, the answer is Romans. Rome has given us a lot of things. Things like concrete, calendars, and even “adult novelties” can all be traced back to Western civilization’s biggest empire. The backbone of it all was Latin, the grandaddy of European languages and the reason most of the world reads left to right. This is why so many video games move left to right. It doesn’t account for why so many of those games involve shooting; that’s just good ol’ U.S. imperialism.
