I was in school and one of my friends was on the website candystand.com which is a little online flash game website run by wrigly ( the ppl who make the gum) when i look over and see this game hes playing called polarity. This game is a %100 rip off of ikaruga, the only thing thats really different are the modles, but even the font is the same, the programmer they must have hired for this game must have relaly liked ikaruga. go take a look and te4ll me what you think.

Yea it is an Ikaruga clone. This is a big reason why I hate "little PC" games such as flash games, homebrew, demos, etc etc. The developers usually rip off another game's design, or jack sprites from classic titles. Programs like "Mugen" are the bane of my existance and I can't even fathom how many times I have seen some flash based 'shooter' which jacks the ship from R-Type.
People like to think they have a free pass to make "fan based homages" to their favorite game titles. Ikaruga is an amazing game, and should not be ripped off. |

I don't think that homebrew and other such games are in anyway plagiarising the originals (as your so very subtly implying  ) . I think a suitable analogy would be an artist trying to emulate the style of another to improve the work of their own. Games that are simply clones of another ARE homages to the originals, and I think that this can has a positive effect. These games can create interest in the originals which has to be a good thing.
Stuff Like this crops up in other forms of media/art (games as art FTW!!!). Just take a look at dada,punk or even pop art. noonotthat wrote:
