Is there anything out there giving information or an index for these games?
something listing all the asteroids alikes, all the robotron ripoffs, all the space invaders 'homages' etc and maybe mentioning which ones are eh, ok, good, etc. ? I'd also like to know which (if any,) do the classic 'get harder till you die' or if they all have set number of levels?
Also, in general, any gems you have discovered amidst the flotsam?
I've really enjoyed Machiavellis (sp?) Ascent, among others.
