I see what you're saying dark. But I still have to disagree to an extent. The majority of mainstream games these days are first person perspective games rather than 2-D side Scrollers. Therefore to say that we're much further behind on 2-D games is like saying we much further behind on the games from the 80s but closer to the games of today. Surely we want to be even closer to modern games. So these other games we should be focusing on. Also Tom is surely going to create more games in the future. So whatever his first game is, afterwards he will be able to work on other games like possibly a good side scroller. I am not totally against side scrollers at all. I remember playing super Mario all-stars when I was younger, which was one of the few games mainstream that is that I could play by myself because of the easy bright coloured graphics. I would love a game like this. As I have said before what I really believe is that Thomas should create a game that he once, because that way he will be able to put much more of his heart and imagination into it. Richard
