Every so often, someone reinvents a game mechanic which was around in the 1980s/1990s and pronounces it as inventive and genius, when it's actually stuff which should have just become standard, way back then.
Man, I remember how innovative stuff like 'Chuck Yeager's Air Combat' used to be... Makes me feel strangely old to realise how most people on the Internet have never even heard of it.
Then again, I got to witness the glorious cinematic triumph of Luke Skywalker fighting it out with Bagpuss in 'Wing Commander 3', too.
