Inexplicably Popular Games



Horizontal Shooter I get. It's a nice looking game, and the idea of protecting your own extra lives is something that I think is kind of unique in the Shoot-em-up world.

Centipong is a bizarre collision of gameplay types that results in more insane ball bouncing than you can keep your eye on.

Alien Deathmatch is a nice basic Robotron style, and is being played by fans of the genre..

RetroRaider, if nothing else, has the Tomb Raider name attached!!

So, WTF is it with The Gear That Works? Took me 3 days to do that, give or take a couple more to build some levels. Why even bother making month-long projects anymore!?!

People like games that are either a really good example of the genre, or present a cool, new, interesting gameplay style. Amoung other things, I think that's part of what contributed to Portal's success, and is probably what people like about Gear.
