That's true, a lot of simple physics games like launching turtles and visual novel style games.

That era was definitely defined by enthusiast creators instead of the modern indie-studio-ification of even the simplest games.

Right, lots a simple physics games, I forgot about that. Launch the turtle, destroy the castle, etc. Also some relatively interesting wargames. And some interesting experimentation.

It was a golden age of enthusiast creators indeed. Browsing random games was very interesting (of course, lots of garbage, but Sturgeon's Law applies).

Is itch.io sort of like that nowadays?
