Damn i just saw this youtube short and I looked up the game and well ill be damned Sonic the Hedge Hog looks to be a rip off of a unlicensed NES game Big Nose Freaks Out.

How on earth did a japanese sega developer play this obscure unlicensed American game nobody's ever heard of.

Total coincidence? What about the coincidence that I see this while this thread pops up! *twilight zone noises

Wow even his rocks that you collect explode to 0 when you get hit.

Oh shit lol this game came out in 1992 and sonic came out in 91 so they must have copied it haha that makes a lot more sense.

I was like this game would have blown my ass open in 1986.

the eq ip is very weak, they copied dungeons and dragons and lotr too heavily

not only are there hobbits and drow running around, and 1:1 rips like beholders/"beholder's maze", but their unique stuff is generic and usually limited to just what they named a character or location

wow was successful because the people making it were very talented and made the foundation of the game run/feel better than even any mmo that is out today. they copied almost nothing from EQ, other than generic mmo aspects like attacking a raid boss with many people to kill it. stormwind is nothing like the plane of knowledge, or at least it never was when I played. closest thing I can remember is dalaran during wrath, which was way after EQ died

so it's just a coincidence that top devs were also all EQ players and that they recruited other devs from their EQ guilds?

BTW I just watched the new Fantastic Four movie and when it was going off, I saw Jeff Kaplan had wrote the story for it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] small world.

I don't think that's the same guy. This Jeff Kaplan makes video games, while this Jeff Kaplan makes movies (and there doesn't seem to be any overlap; neither worked on the WoW movie, for instance).
