list of over-cloned games

So, you like it, and you want to make a game like it (or just rip off the resources of the original game). Unfortunately, if it could be one of the over-cloned games. Let this be ah warning tah ye. There is a 99% chance that if you make a clone of one of these games, people are going to roll their eyes and think "Oh, god, not again." Or worse yet, flame you. Don't ruin your reputation. Avoid cloning these games.

1. Mario
There are fewer sands in the desert as there are bad Mario clones made by noobs.
2. Zelda
Same as above, but not quite as many.
3. Halo
We can't comprehend why there are so many Halo and Red Vs. Blue clones out there in 2D.
4. GTA
Because the original GTAs were technically 2D, many people try it, and many people fail.
5. Pong
Cloned by noobs because it's easy to do. It's a great first project, but not a good clone.
6. Pac-Man
Same as above.
