Flash is pretty dead, but it looks like Kongregate is doing something to port stuff to newer Web-based platforms, and they have this running again, and it's free-to-play in a browser.
Ive only ever seen 1 person mention it in the year I’ve been on Lemmy.
I've brought it up a bunch as an example of a game that I like that's really a "one-game genre" -- it didn't really get cloned, like most good games do. Kind of a bummer, because if you've played all of Kenshi, there's not much more to do if you want more short of waiting for Kenshi 2 to be finished.
I liked that, though I don't know if I'd put it on a "best of" list. I've had a number of games, most recently Carrier Command 2, that I really enjoy that use untextured polygons. Think maybe it's that if a developer can't get distracted with fancy graphics, they're focused on gameplay, dunno.
Hmm. Looks like Introversion then made a game, Scanner Sombre, that uses points for graphics, not even lines.
The NES & arcade versions are very similar in terms of level layout and enemy spawns. There are certainly differences, but I haven't played the arcade version enough to tell you what those specific differences are.
I personally enjoyed Total Annihilation, but Planetary Annihilation and some of the later games, like the Spring-based remakes never quite caught me the same way.
