ripoff report

I’ve been pooping off at the mouth for decades now (literally) about how nearly every game that came out of Japan prior to like 1992 or so directly ripped off some elements from some Hollywood movie or another. Now good ol’ Hardcore Gaming 101 has done a great content analysis along those lines.

Of course they can’t cover absolutely everything but it’s a great (and huge) cross-section with heaps of stuff I’ve never seen before. Plus, Western devs weren’t immune from massive movie rip-offage either …
