Patrick R Posted June 18, 2013 Citizen Kane of video games, Schmitizen Schmane of Schmideo Schames. We can do better. We can build a web of medium false-equivalency by starting with this simple Rosetta Stone: Doom is the Star Wars of video games. It seems self-evident to me. And now we can work outward. For example, if Doom is the Star Wars of video games, would Doom 2 be the Empire Strikes Back of video games, or would Quake be the Empire Strikes Back of video games? Daikatana is clearly the Star Wars Holiday Special of video games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
