  1. So what? on PacManhattan Relocates Classic Game To New York Streets · · Score: 1

    We reenact old video games all the time;

    There's Duck Hunt, which is an average day of hunting. Mind you, most parks don't allow you to kill hundreds upon hundreds of birds, but you can overlook that.

    Pong is just like tennis, or badminton, or any other overly repetitive sport which involves lobbing an object across a net over and over again.

    Moon Patrol, I believe its name was, has been played many times in real life. Hell, we've even played Mars Patrol. We've gone beyond the land of video gaming!

    Oh, and according to some astrology stuff I read, we will have to play Asteroids in a few hundred years, since apparently there are numerous large meteorites heading towards earth. Oh well - I won't be here. Let my great great great grandson deal with it.

  2. Why? on Engaging Debate on Piracy and Videogaming · · Score: 1

    Perhaps game developers should simple stop investing millions of dollars developing state of the art copyright protection and reduce the price of games by ten or twenty dollars. What's the point of the CD and Copyright Protection - It's cracked in minutes by the companies who crack and release the games, so what's the point.

    I'll buy a game if I like it. I've downloaded many games that I thought would be great titles, but after playing them for 15 minutes, realized that it was total crap and never played it again. If I enjoy a game enough to play it numerous times, I will go spend the $50 and buy a legit copy.
