It's easier to give an example of a cursed game than to define the concept, so I'll start: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, Rhode Island's greatest cultural export and financial disaster.

enjoyer? Only the man himself knows]. It's not a good game. It's not even an especially edifying game. It is a first-person shooting game where each level is a small landscape where various animals, including but not limited to deer, gambol around: and you line 'em up and blow those furry critters away.

So far so standard. But what hooked me in Deer Hunter was the close-up slowdown effects. Think Sniper Elite. As the challenge increases you have to aim for the brain or the heart or the lungs of an animal and, when you take the shot, the game moves into a kind of slowmo bullet cam that tracks your projectile all the way into the poor animal's body, before everything returns to normal speed after the hit and the carcass slumps to the ground.

This game treats a good shot on a deer like a heroic moment, the highlight of humanity's achievements, and I find this effect hilarious. To the extent that even though I don't really game on mobile I still have Deer Hunter on my phone for whenever I'm especially bored. It's full of mobile F2P bullshit, the upgrade paths gouge you, killing animals for sport is not good practice, everything about this game is bad. But I love it.

It was a relic of the old internet—, though I doubt it'd be recognisable to me today.

. For some reason little Harvey was obsessed - probably because we didn't have a lot of games, but also when you're a kid you don't really have a critical eye for anything. I remember hopping around the first few levels a lot. The opening theme is burnt into my head.
