Least Original Amiga Game Ever ?
« on: March 10, 2011, 01:41:47 PM »
Has anyone here seen/played the old shareware game Quik'nSilva ? I remember seeing reviews of it in the pd sections of a few majot amiga magazines of the day and always wanted to play it. Looked quite nice in screenshots. After now just having played it, I think I can accurately call it the least original game ever on the Amiga  :) Not to say its bad. For a pd game its quite decent, but pretty much everything has been taken from elsewhere to a degree I dont think Ive ever seen outside of a remake :) Where this differs though is that it takes its graphics and sounds from different sources. Turrican features pretty heavily, both in sounds and graphics, but I also spotted stuff from Giana Sisters, Hard 'n Heavy, Sonic, Mario, Bubble Bobble, and probably a few others Ive forgotten.
To be honest spotting the inspirations was more interesting than the gameplay itself after a few levels (it's generic platformer personified)   :)
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.
