- moomin 2y agoHaving the same name was an understandable marketing decision, but I think it probably harmed it in many ways. The game is interesting and different even today (although I’ve mention my reservations about it further up)
- ordersofmag 2y agoMy first thought on reading the title was "8k hours is a lot of quarters".
- bitwize 2y agoWhat's wild is, it kind of resembles Golgotha, the aborted FPS/strategy tank shooter from Crack Dot Com, the studio formed by former Id Software Linux evangelist Dave Taylor. Golgotha was to be Crack's second game, but they folded before it could be finished, and released what code and assets they did have as open source (this was when CatB was still fresh).
- ChoGGi 2y agoAs soon as I read crack dot com I recalled the gun firing sound from Abuse :) Fun game, too bad about the company.
- GrumpyYoungMan 2y agoThere is another Battlezone game which is a reimagined/updated version of the coin-op game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlezone_(2016_video_game) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlezone_(2016_video_game). It was a decent bit of fun and notably had VR headset support.
