Abandonware

in #history5 years ago (edited)

We've all played Super Mario Brothers, or The Legend Of Zelda, maybe Mortal Kombat. All of them are classic games, those that we have grown up in childhood playing for hours on our televisions, but, there are games that we have never been able to play for commercial reasons or simply because of the low rating they have had, they are called forgotten games or abandonware . Good titles have come out but their respective problems have not come to light in those times, for example Burntime, which was a game that came out in 1993 and only lasted until 1994, produced for DOS, Commodore Amiga, MS-DOS, AmigaOS , that tried to conquer the habitable zones that still remain to increase the resources and thus be able to survive in a post apocalyptic world. This game had a low rating, because it had a bloody theme and very detailed for those years, like Carmageddon in 1997 had its controversy to graphically show the theme, racing and run over pedestrians. So much so that in several countries had to censor it by replacing pedestrians with zombies, just as Carmageddon is not the only one who had this kind of controversy, Mortal Kombat despite the years it has always been subject to criticism and censorship for its very violent content , but in spite of everything, it has always kept on standing taking new titles to date.

The companies have their programming errors with the games and some, in fact, have not been able to measure up to the competition and due to this, they are below the table throwing into oblivion, but this has served as a lesson to most recent companies that focus on solving problems when creating a new videogame, with innovative ideas and easy gameplay for the consumer. It should be noted that the abandonware always hover the web, by contributors who upload and also in the online market can be achieved, some titles have been acclaimed and icons, others very rare have fallen too low and completely forgotten as discussed earlier in this work, since they were created to date, video games have had this way of surprising people but with the final product they disappoint enough or maybe they improve more than what is seen.
