They didn’t say it was a video game. I’m also pretty old, and I’m sure the first game I bought was either playing cards or some version of Monopoly, or maybe a D&D starter set.
I finished Space Chem but not Magnum Opus. I actually think it’s for the stupidest reason, that Space Chem is pretending that I’m making real molecules instead of alchemy or whatever.
I find it interesting that the AI parts of the video have very little video in them. They have the original game moving along, and then they show the AI version and mostly keep it as a still. I suspect that they did this so that you can’t do a side-by-side comparison and see that the AI version doesn’t actually play as well as the original version.
Also, I’ve got to wonder about how it must feel to be an artist who worked on one of these games, and watch the thing you carefully hand-tuned to match the artistic vision of the game design be replaced by the mindless addition of wrinkles.
