"The consumer doesn't really know what to buy for their computer," Garriott said in 1989, while also pointing to the popularity of Nintendo's newfangled game console.

I remember back in the early-mid 90s I said to a friend 'wouldn't it be cool if we had every video game ever made?' To which he replied, 'true, but what's the point if we cannot play them all? I mean you'll never have the time'.

Since then the number of games have exploded, but even if you froze the clock in 1995 there were already so many games that you spend all your life playing them and not be finished.

We are spoilt for choice since downloadable indie games became a thing about 15 years ago.
