A strange little side quest
The next time Strike Force Heroes asks for one more try, remember that game ideas rarely appear from nowhere.

Doom changed game design and distribution in 1993 by separating its engine from content and spreading widely through shareware. The details change, but the appeal of learning a system and trying again is remarkably persistent.
