No but they can ask for more games with a unique take on an unoriginal idea.

My bad, I was thinking of Donkey Kong.

Mario debuted as "Jumpman" in the arcade game Donkey Kong in 1981

I stand corrected.

Minecraft, world of goo, and machinarium. Oooh, and portal!!

Pong on Atari.

Nope Pong wasn't original either, it was based off of Tennis that was made originally with an oscilloscope screen. There aren't any original games really. It's like asking name an original song, video, book etc.

That statement implies original thought does not exist and that everything that exists today has existed before and we have merely reproduced these thoughts. Thoughts which themselves couldn't have been original and thus must have been gained from an external stimulus, which leads to the logical conclusion.

IT WAS ALIENS!!!
