Video Game Secrets

[Rökkan]

Video game developers do nothing but "borrow" from each other:

Flash Gal & Streets of Rage

The first two are common settings/scenes from western sort of movies, I don't think Streets of Rage directly ripped off :I

The third one I don't see how it has much in common other than the asian theme - they're as close as Dragon Road from Sonic Unleashed and Chai Kingdom from Super Mario Land. One is a ship and the other one are chinese walls. Both are also common themes in many games :V

About Sonic and Strider though, I remember that it was either Yasuhara or Naoto Oshima that really liked Strider and used as inspiration. I played Strider and I can safely say those parts are very very similar to those parts in Sonic 2 and 3.
