That’s a fun question. I’d also add Snake to the list — it’s been recreated on calculators, old Nokia phones, smart fridges, and even in Excel. It’s probably one of the most reimplemented games ever. Not as “epic” as Doom, but definitely just as portable!

Clepsydrae,

Seconding this. No joke, snake runs on my electric tea kettle: fellowproducts.com/…/how-to-play-wormy-on-your-el…

My understanding is that Doom can run on any device because it is written in C. So any game written in C could be compiled to run on your target device.

frezik,

There is way, way more to it than that.

That sounds interesting, never heard of it. Thanks.

I think suspicious is the wrong word. Suspicious seems to suggest doubt or a lack of certainty, but the criticism is pretty predictable. Industry forces could afford to ignore it when it looked impossible to get the signatures, but now that the signatures are in the bag they’re having to take a different tactic.

SOME of the criticism is certainly genuine and exactly what it appears to be at face value, but it was inevitable that those doubts would be artificially boosted now.

I’ve never been the kind of person to get mad about dying in video games. Usually I just laugh or realize I’m getting sleepy and turn the game off.

Nu uh. Not Mario Maker. Shit will have me throwing my switch across the room

Attack of the PETSCII Robots. Been ported to a ridiculous number of retro computers.

Another World. It’s impressive how it’s done, the game is programmed in a custom bytecode, and runs on an interpreter for the game. Porting the game to other platforms just requiere implementing the interpreter.

That allowed the game to be ported even to GBA.

There is a blog post that explains everything about it, and it’s super interesting.

One year ago, right at the beginning of the petition, PirateSoftware came out misreading the initiative by suggesting the idea the petition was about forcing indie developer to host their server, at their expense, forever and other stupid idea on this line. A fabricated these narrative to act as the typical popular youtubers that say endlessly: “this is st0pid, they are st0pid”. The fabricated narrative confused other popular YouTubers with mixed feelings; and there was very little support. This assured PirateSoftware the first place on the youtube rankings when you search for “stop killing games”, plus had lot of kids brainwashed into thinking " this is st0pid". This kind of criticism never went away completely, the were partially silenced by the very recent roaring as people understood correctly what it was actually about. As SKG keep hitting its milestone the angered roar did lowered, so now you can ear again the “this is st0pid” team

Luffy879,

You can swear on the Internet. The same way I can say that I want to spray pepper spray on your private parts. And you can then cry about me because I said the big bad stupid word, so I have to una1iv3 myself.

beejboytyson,

I mean, if you wanna KYS because people called you shitty for saying you’re going to do a shitty thing. Then maybe…

I slept on the dead rising series until the remake came out. Then I picked up the original, 2, and off the record stupid cheap. Had a blast going through them all!

All of them are fantastic games and it’s such a shame they killed the whole series with the 3rd game.

Another bot paranoia…

Not every people that disagree with the norm is a bot. The petition got more popular recently, even some news outlet that has nothing to do with games started talking about it in my country in the last week, so has a high chance of a bunch of people that didn’t read much about started to comment with their “protect the billionaires” reaction.

I recently started playing World of Warcraft, the current version, and my gosh it was way too easy and way too fast. I got to level 70 in 5 days, and gave up and started playing WoW classic instead, which is much more difficult. So I’d say WoW is probably your jam, just stay away from Classic.

Rhynoplaz,

What?!? I haven’t really played since WotLK, so 70 in 5 days sounds insane to me.

Final Fantasy 14. It’s base game and first couple expansions are free to play. No subscription needed unless you keep playing after that

I found Final Fantasy XIV easy to get into. The full game requires a monthly payment but there is a "free trial", which contains the entire base game and the first expansion for free and can last you at least a few hundred hours.

I tried old school runescape a while ago again but did not enjoy it. It's a very grindy game, and unless you like clicking on a tree for 30 minutes then you aren't going to like it either.

HeyJoe,

I played through it when they released this version, and honestly its an insane amount of free content. I completed the base game but never did complete the 100 quest wall that was in the first expansion. I had a lot of fun, and I agree this is the perfect MMO to pick up. I probably had about 3 months of time spent in it and was not disappointed.
