But it's only a wee span of time in the development of language.

Still, I'd think thousands of new words have been invented since this game

nah... WorldWideWeb maybe,but the Internet's been
around a long time. I remember people posting these
incredibly long URLs, and I thought, "Nobody will ever
want to type in those long things just to get to one
