No, a super corporate title would be “Analyzing the Platform Disparity: The Unconventional Release Trajectory of The Simpsons Arcade Game Across Home and Console Systems”

Which you’d probably find less clickbait but would be absolutely perfect for aligning synergies.

If your critique is that I tried to wrote an interesting title, guilty as charged. But who doesn’t try to be interesting?

Thing is, this being Lemmy, there’s no incentive to click. Clickbait literally implies a reason to click. The pertinent thing worth seeing is already in your feed.

True, but the C64 version definitely wasn’t authentic. 😅

Okay, so I think this impacted by the platforms I owned, which was:

1. Commodore 64
2. Game Boy
3. SEGA Master System
4. SEGA Genesis
5. A bunch of DOS/Windows PCs
6. iMac

If I were to consider my favourite games across all these systems, they would be:

• Lode Runner
• Great Giana Sisters
• OutRun
• Super Mario Land
• Tetris
• Sonic 2
• Road Rash
• Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?
• NHL 94
• Earthworm Jim
• MDK
• SimCity
• Civilization
• Heretic
• Marathon
• Escape Velocity
• GeneForge
• Tomb Raider
• Earth 2140

Oh, they’re successful and sold a boat load of copies. I already mentioned that.

But there’s no retrospectives. Go on YouTube, there’s nothing about how groundbreaking this title was. No articles written about it in the same way as something like Cuphead or Shovel Knight.

Popular, yes. Very much so. But also culturally forgotten.

That didn’t take long. Second post on my feed.
