the talent per developer ratio fell off a cliff. back then it was a small team of hardcore nerds making those games. now it's a bloated, design by committee process where at least half the coding is outsourced.
4-player co-op rom hack is so based. I wish they'd make some multiplayer mod to the thing 2 vs 2 type of thing. Trying to the destroy the base of the other one.
Played very recently with friends BattleTanx: Global Assault, frickiiing hell such a good multiplayer game. Some tanks feel so cool to handle.
Nearly every game is a minor iteration on a game that already exists, and in the late 70s/early 80s there were like 5 distinct games to iterate on. One of them happened to be Tank.

This was one of the best early games on the NES. Used to play it heaps with a friend on bootleg multicart he had
Then:
>awesome game plus full level editor all in less than 16kb
Now:

What's the best Tankvania game?

I'll stick with the original PVE single player missions
