Yep. It hurts even more when all that targets an ambitious game that failed in execution of its ideas. My goto example is the budget FPS "NAM" from 1998. Everywhere you go it's like "the worst FPS of all time". Bro, it's not even the worst FPS from 1998.
Mon Sep 05 16:59:48 +0000 2022Replying to @DominicTarason
I will say it also depends on how the game was sold. For example, I place Capstone's Zorro pretty high on my personal "worst game of all time" list. Sure, I've played dozens of terrible DOS games, but not all of them were selling in stores for $50. 🤷♂️

It is false. First, clones are allowed. This is the reason GNU/Linux exists, and there's no issue with it directly copying Unix. Secondly, DOS (not written by Gates, but by Tim Paterson originally) wasn't *really* that much of a clone of CP/M. At least not entirely.

"Trombone Champ" is genius. It's never fun to fuck up in rhythm games. But here it's like the main mechanic. Screwing up leads to laughter, which in turn makes it even harder to play. An incredibly emotional experience.

Yeah, I also don't think that Curse took *any* risks, besides maybe the art style. It's a pretty usual adventure game, and it doesn't even do most of the crazy things the first two did.

It's not a variant. It's actually what it is. Originally when introduced in DOS 5, edit dot com simply ran qbasic.exe with the "/EDITOR" parameter.

No, no. The editor *is* qbasic. When you run qbasic with /editor command line parameter, it switches into the editor mode. That's all edit dot com does. Which is why it's only a few bytes in size.
