Same screenshots, videos? You imply that I did this out of hand, simply because they were old, but I assure you that I did try all of these games first. You could have easily tried them yourself before sending your message, despite the mask. I have no problem with having merely old games in our repo. It helps if they are still actively maintained, but they don't necessarily have to be. In fact, I have been rather sad to see others drop games in the past. The games still need to have some merit though. We are not a museum, and I would rather focus energy on the much better games that still need our attention. Experiences are subjective, of course, but I seriously doubted I would have found these games entertaining at the time, let alone now. I'll admit that TuxDash had some potential. It honoured the look of the original very well, which I am old enough to have played in the 80s. The maps are entirely random though, so there is practically no skill involved. A quick search revealed many other open source clones that are probably much better. I'll try to be more descriptive in my masks next time.
