Challenge level for the "which video game deserves a polished rerelease?" prompt going around - what's the game you had the *worst* time with but you still want to see remade?

I just want to put this out into the universe.
If you are a homebrew developer of a GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SMS, MD/Genesis, N64, or PS1 game with a free version or a free demo of you game, I’d love to ship it with SuperStation as a physical or digital demo disk.

Wrote a little script to select and play random games from the PS1 library (skipping ones I've played before)
So far, 2 out of 10 have been completely OK, 1 in 10 are fantastic hidden gems, and the rest have been bizarre Classics of Game candidates

Powerful move of kindness you can do at work almost every day is when someone junior or outside your department goes “I have a dumb question” and then asks a totally reasonable question, hit em with a “not at all a stupid question” or “actually great question” and then answering it.

It’s sort of the opposite problem to the Internet, a socially transformative technology which didn’t have a lot of anticipatory literature in SF. Decades of storytelling about AI have primed people to ask the wrong questions about it and expect the wrong things
