Unfortunately, the ratings at Abandonia are unusable. Practically every game gets a 4 or 5. Hey guys! I appreciate Your game reviews, in fact they are most helpful. But a 4 means "almost perfect and highly enjoyable". How would Tapper compare to Ultima VII? Are both "equally good"? I don't think so.

Like 5th said these games are from different genres and from different times. Whatever we do it's impossible to compare these games. Comparing to other simple arcade games fom these days this one is a good one. If it wasn't - there wouldn't be a XBOX remake!

Anyway, I believe, that whatever notes someone gives to a certain game there will always be someone, who doesn't like it. It's personal opinion of reviewer (my opinion this case ) how many points will game recieve. You can always vote on the review/download page.

I played it and had fun when I was a kid, I played it and had fun a couple of days ago.

They can even be compared since they're both from totaly different genres.

One game is made to be played for hours and hours while the other one is a few minute time waster.

But a game is not automatically better because it's more complex. Look at a perfect example of probably best know time waster ever - TETRIS. It's not complex at all, but extremely enjoyable, playable, popular and even famous. So it's basically all a matter of giving marks in comparison to overall feel a game leaves you with and its quality within the group of games in the similar gameplay style (someone who hates RPGs wouldn't thing Ultima's even worth voting for, let alone giving it a vote higher then 2).
