While I liked playing it with my cousin I fail to see how is game from 1991 "the mother of all games" when I enjoyed playing plenty other games already in 80s. Also as for the games from 1991 I enjoyed Crystal Caves much more playing it in father's work.
Btw. I find Worms much more enjoyable/funnier, though it's pretty much same concept.
edit: same year was also released Lemmings, which blows graphics/UI of this out of water, SE feels like 80's, Lemmings at least 5-10 years younger, while both were released same year
It's like in "The Mother of All Bombs"
The game came out around the gulf war: I've always assumed it was a reference to Sadam Hussein's speech about "the mother of all battles" (at the beginning of Desert Storm)
yeah, but I guess those were first of the kind or biggest at time of release, don't think this has anything that unique to deserve this nickname
for instance they released same year also Lemmings which has much better UI and feels much more revolutionary and many years younger than SE
