Ignoring the lack of updates if the game is buggy, games back then were also more focused on quality and make gamers replay the game with unlockable features based on skills, not money. I can't count the number of times I played Metal Gear Solid games over and over to unlock new features playing the hardest difficulty and with handicap features, and also to find Easter eggs. Speaking of Easter eggs, you'd lose a number of hours exploring every nook and cranny finding them!
World Games was so good they made a spoof sequel of sorts called caveman games. A lot of people remember world games, it was a well received game. You had so many actually forgettable garbage games to choose from....
But if he had to go with a forgettable game he wouldn't have remembered it.
But he says it wasn't very fun and it was forgotten.
He obviously didn't forget it, and most people found it to be fun.
I have never heard anyone talk about that game, ever. But I remembered hating it as a kid. But social media wasn't a thing back then. So I don't know if it was talked about elsewhere.
If that was a well received game, I guess it speaks volumes about the rest of the NES library.
It's because it wasn't really a young kids game. It was aimed at a bit older of a crowd. They made a later version of it called caveman games that was geared more towards kids and it was a lot of fun, with mostly the same game mechanics.
