Well, I know Eternal Daughter was inspired by classic 16-bit platformers like the Castlevania series.

You really should give them a chance, there's a reason they're referred to as classics.

Gearbolt Rage, Factor X, and Destruction Carnival are all very similar to Smash TV (one of my all-time favorite games). Mr. Stumps Dentures is quite Mario-esque. Nearly every Click game is inspired by a one commercial game or another, it's just that some make efforts to hide it while others openly pay homage to the source material.

Madventures was inspired by Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga. Titan Omega was inspired by Disposable Hero. Samurai was inspired by the kirby minigame Samurai.

Hypergem is based off this really old puzzle game (which I dunno the name of)

Your crappy Vib Ribbon screengrab amuses me.

(by the way, 99% of all (click) games are copies of what has gone before, only elements of games are original now)

Kris - Hypergem 3 was based on a game called Hexxagon.

My game Blockguy is based on Blockman, and Stack Online was based a little on Klax and other tetriseyish games. Mathematicus Online was 99% original tho

I don't think there is original gameplay anymore, since everything has been done there's nothing that can't be derivative of something else. Whether the author acknowledges the inspirado or not is up to them.

Well, remember that in the 1800s a patent officer whose name escapes me claimed that "Everything that can be invented has been invented". We can't say for sure that there are no original ideas any more.

I have a Vib Ribbon poster on my wall, in a part of my attempt to coat the entire room in posters. The eyes and manic grin of that Japanese rabbit haunt me every night.

Word-perfect, Phizzy. And you pressed Circle, R1 and Left a few times too.


I don't think so, Smeby. If they were, then I want to know what drugs those guys were taking... so I can have them banned forever, of course. Anything capable of turning people to make that kind of stuff needs to be destroyed completely.
