>For example Flappy Bird was an ancient game on the web that existed and then it blew up, now you have many, many clones. I'll give you a better example than that in Angry Birds. Crush the Castle was a staple of mine for at least a year or two LOOONG before Angry Birds showed up; ultimately the exact same format of a game except your projectile was a trebuchet and not a slingshot. Angry Birds showed up on the smartphone and ate Crush The Castle's forever remaining lunches. Hell, if you want to go back farther than that I think it was a game called 'Armor', fire at thing, destroy thing, upgrade and fire again for points. But yeah, that first sentence nails it completely.
