... an equal scope to other genres. "MB" is definitely an obscure term, it's pretty inaccessible.

Yup. One thing on which I disagree with the article is the value of having a label at the metroidbrainia 'level', even if it goes on to give a preferred name for more or less the same thing (I don't have a problem with "search action", ftr). I think 'genres' can be useful without having to have ...

Jack Attack! This was, I think, my first ever game on a cartridge—a C64 cartridge! It was pretty shallow gameplay-wise, but it obviously scored bonus points by being named after me 😊 And it LOADED INSTANTLY!!!!

Finally caught up on this — great talk! Parabox is in my top 3 sokobans, so it was fascinating to peek behind the scenes. I like how you made everything sound so easy!
