• For every good idea in the gaming world, there's a thousand people who wish they'd
thought of it first.
And a few of them actually have the nerve to ACT like they thought of it first.
From Chinese Overwatch to the Game Child, here are 15 of the most blatant video game
ripoffs ever released.
15 –Kong (VX Spectrum) • Donkey Kong was one of the kings of video
gaming during the 1980s, and so it's no surprise it drew its fair share of copycats.
• But this game copied EVERYTHING.
Not only is the game just CALLED "Kong," but even the level design is identical.
• The only thing that's different is that Donkey Kong appears to have been replaced
by some red alien with nipples that stare at you.
14 – Another Bound • Even the name "Another Bound" doesn't
make much sense on its own.
But it makes a little more sense when you look at it and realize it's just a Metroid
Prime clone.
• In fairness, it's an old freeware game for PC, so if you wanted to play a slightly
crappier Metroid Prime and didn't own a Gamecube… well, just buy a Gamecube.
13 – Dr. Droid • Here is an action-puzzle game in which
you match colored pills with similarly-colored viruses.
• It's called Doctor Ma- wait, no.
It's Doctor Droid.
• It's DEFINITELY NOT Doctor Mario.
Because see?
This one has green pills instead of yellow.
And it looks like crap.
12 – The Legend of Titans • Overwatch took the gaming world by storm
when it launched in the summer of 2016, and China wanted in on the action.
• It took them all of about a month to reverse-engineer the game and release The Legend of Titans
on mobile devices… which is basically just exactly Overwatch.
• They even went as far as copying the actual character models.
• The company behind the clone said it was just a "demo," and not an actual game…
but the game was already released in China as they said that..
11 – Mini Polystation 3 • Here is probably the best argument you'll
ever see to read the fine print.
• From a distance, this really looks like it says "PS3," and it does.
• But in MUCH SMALLER print surrounding the P and S, you can see it spells out "Mini
PolyStation 3.
• Even THAT name makes it sound close to the Playstation it's trying to copy, AND
the design is similar… if you ignore the fact that the disc slot doesn't take discs.
It just takes little LCD screen inserts, which are actually the things you play the games
on.
10 – WiWi/Vii • The Nintendo Wii spawned a TON of copycat
products, like the "Vii" and the "WiWi."
• They certainly looked similar, but the attempts to copy the motion controls were…
not great.
• In most cases, they just configured controllers that need to be swung to activate a single
button.
• They weren't so much "motion controls" as just a "swing button."
Which made sense, because almost all of them came packaged with Wii Sports knockoffs.
9 – Sword Requiem • Grid-based tactical strategy games are
everywhere, but Nintendo's Fire Emblem holds up the gold standard.
• And you COULD make the argument that Sword Requiem isn't a Fire Emblem knockoff…
until you actually look at them side-by side.
• Even the sprites look the same.
But the game's description is… a bit different.
• Sword Requiem says that, "Unlike added RPGs, this adventure is abounding with abstruseness
and surprises."
8 – Super Bros!
• There's no end to the Mario clones on mobile devices that have no shame about who
they rip off.
• There's Andrio World, Hario World, even Super Smash Jungle World.
• But Super Bros. is one of the worst.
It doesn't even try to hide the fact that it's a clone.
It straight-up says you can… um… "remember the old-school adventure games the good old
days," by "hitting fireballs on their funny faces."
• That top hat isn't fooling anyone.
We know who it is.
7 – Angry Farm • Mobile games are sort of the hotbed of
copycat knockoff games.
But usually they're knocking off major titles on console or PC.
• Here's a mobile game knocking off another mobile game – because why settle for Angry
Birds, when you can have an entire FARM?
• A farm of animals that… seem to have the same angry eyebrows as the birds?
And that still launch themselves at rickety structures to knock them over?
6 – Sepia Go!
• Sepia Go is to Splatoon what Legend of Titans is to Overwatch.
• It's a mobile knockoff that unabashedly rips off the game's characters, concept,
and gameplay.
• Oh, and it's from China.
5 – Hangly Man • Hangly Man is a butchered Japanese translation
– it's supposed to be "Hungry Man..." but actually it's just a hacked Pac-Man
clone.
• In this version, the maze is slightly different in shape, and it randomly disappears.
• And this game didn't just quietly pop onto mobile devices a few years ago.
It was actually a real, physical arcade cabinet back in the 1980s.
4 – Game Child • Some parent, somewhere, probably called
their kid an ungrateful little brat because they asked for a Game Boy and received this
– the Game Child.
• "Game Boy, Game Child, what's the difference?"
they would ask, and the kid would try to explain.
• The Game Boy had removable cartridges, which meant it had more than three crappy
games.
The Game Child… had three crappy games.
And a tiny screen.
3 – Pong • It's the first truly successful videogame.
The grandfather of basically everything that came after?
• That's right.
Not only is Pong NOT the first video game ever, it's actually a knockoff.
• It's actually so blatant, Atari actually paid Magnovox 700 thousand dollars as a licensing
fee for ripping off Table Tennis on the Magnavox Odyssey, because they lost a patent infringement
lawsuit.
2 – Classic Robot War • Classic Robot War would be more convincing
as an original property, if not for the fact that they just USE Megaman's likeness on
the title screen, AND the classic title.
• But even more confusing is the fact that the title screen doesn't just say "Megaman."
It says…
Megaman…
VR?
• There IS no Megaman VR.
And THIS game definitely isn't in VR.
It's a crappy cell phone bootleg.
1 – Gameloft's Entire Library • Gameloft is an offshoot company of Ubisoft
and Vivendi Universal, which made its name creating shameless mobile knockoffs of the
biggest triple-A games.
• And it is STILL making its money doing that exact same thing.
• Some of its more notable titles include "Modern Combat 5: Blackout," "GangStar:
Crime City," "Hero of Sparta," and… an Assassin's Creed game for iOS.
• Well, they ARE owned by Ubisoft, after all.
