I am never going to play this.

Look, I love pixel graphics and "old school hardcore games" as much as the next guy, I do. But, jesus christ guys, if I wanted to play an exact 1 to 1 recreation of an 80s arcade game, I would just download Mame and play an actual old game. And the proliferation of it all! How many of these exact same games do we need to see on Steam? Can we go a day, nay, an hour without a new one being launched upon Steam?

Like, fine, take your inspration from old games. Make them Megaman level of tough. Or use archaic concepts like limited lives. Or have no saves and have it start from the start every time you play. Or whatever. But not all of it, all at once, in your game made beyond the year 2000. We're living in the future now, jet packs and flying cars and all that shit. We have advanced beyond the need for games to be like that.

Other than The Artist, when have movies "gone oldschool"? How many books in Waterstones are hand written on papyrus? Or the cooking instructions on your microwave meal state "can also be slow cooked over a wood fire in a cave for 9 hours"?

Modern improvements are there for us all, to embetter our lives.

But I digress. I'm sure who ever wins this will appreciate it. I'm possibly just cranky because I've not been sleeping too well. ¬_¬

Hope you get better rest soon. Try melatonin. It's cheap so you don't have much to lose in giving it a chance. It's worked for me in the past after I got off of prescription sleep aids.

Thanks for the chance. That rant made my day.
