PSP pulls a silly stunt with the ability to download PS1 games...

A lot does go wrong on the PC platform, but that's only because nobody can really come in and set standards for it since there are so many different pieces that go into making a game work. The developer literally does not have anybody telling them what minimum requirements they can use and what bugs can be left behind and leave up to patches.

I do understand and agree with this point, but that is no excuse for a shoddily made and tested title. Clearly there was a difference between a game like Quest for Glory III and Quest for Glory IV, no? They ran on the same hardware essentially, requirement wise anyway, and ran on the same visual-display (SVGA), etc.. for all intents and purposes, same game.

What's the difference? Extreme bugs. Corey and Lorey Cole had little influence over the last title and thus when it was released by Sierra and pushed out the door full-of-bugs, hm m m . Sounds like the developer is at fault here for rushing a product. It happens all of the time and it happens a lot more often in the PC market because developers know they can just "fix it later".

Actually I was solidifying your point. I agree with you. :)

It looks like I misread the last half of your statement. I undestood it as relieving the PC developers of credit due to "uncertain environmental hazard" essentially (randonm hardware), which I don't agree with. But I suppose I misunderstood ;-).
