As for the New pacman... it looks trippy.. but not really anything special.
Namco had already done a Remake version long ago in their collection series
that beats Microcraps version.

It was made by the original creator of Pac Man. I suggest you actually play it before judging it.

Well, Indy4 was made by the original creators Spielberg, Luc-ass, and Ford and that movie was an unholy steaming pile of donkey barf. So just because Pac: Championship was made by Toru Iwatani doesn't mean it can't suck. (For the record, I kinda liked it -- but I'd rather play original Pac on my cab. But mostly people in the world don't have the awesome luxury of true arcade gaming like us byoac'ers!) :)

Loafmeister:
Ugh, that chess example was so far off.... Any game of chess, whether a marble board, wooden pieces, etc., feels the same because the rules don't change; it's purely aesthetics. Portal uses a 3d engine and you get the FPS point of view but it's a thinking game as opposed to shooting so the ruleset is totally different. The way you explain it, I'm surprised you like any 2d games since all they require for the last 30 years is to point up/down/left/right and press a fire button.
I'm not going to argue with you, I don't care if you like it or not, but your portraying yourself poorly with your pov. No problem with you not liking it, there's lots of games I don't like that others do but it seems to me you limit yourself without trying to see the potential in a game. Too each is own.

Not much time to argue yet.
About Platypus... I personally dont buy too much software. Im fairly
poor... but also, Im a very tough critic. But this game was so fricken amazing... that I opened up my wallet with a smile.
Its old skool shooter with solid gamplay from start to finish. Jaw
dropping graphics. Great c64 remade music playing in the background.
Unlike many commercial games.. this game even tops many solid arcade
titles that had entire teams that constructed them.
Its too bad that the guy who created it, (Anthony Flack) sold it to a company for
such little money. He created a game that has probably sold
thousands of copies... and made only a few bucks off of it. So sad :(
At least his game has gotten great exposure.. and his name will
be remembered for such a great new classic masterpiece.
Spaced Ace:
OMG, talking about overkill.... Sheesh. Call me old fasion but the new Galaga looks a little beyond my skill.
I'll take the original anyday. Its kind of like Tempest 2000. Man, I thought I was going to love that game, but it sucked too.
