This reply is to Aqua, mainly.(posted 9595 days ago)How could you define a "pattern game" games like Galaga and Gyruss !?!? OK....you surely need to know patters to play at best, to get the most score possible, but they ar *shooters*. If you know the pattern, it's not enough....
A pattern game is Do Wild Ride, or Pacman, or Nibbler.
You can tell me that every game has always the same pattern (try playing Juno First, or even most "driving" games), but you can't name all "pattern Games".
This post not to flame you, but just to clarify some terms.
