It's like every time anyone writes anything about CockroachDB, the top comment has to be "yeah but the name tho..."

(Spoiler) My understanding was that the "perfect" landing was first, using the old version of the chip. Then the new chip changed the physics calculations and the demo replay became a crash landing. So the "crash landing" cartridges are the newer revisions and I'd guess the motivation to change the ship was a simple "update this dependency to the newest version".
It's a bit different than that. The newer version here is physical. So they would stop making the older version at some point. Not like software that the old version is always available. They likely realised it was happening, but just didn't think fixing it was worth it.

They should change the name! It's a terrible name and it's cost them an inestimable amount of users.

Came here to say the same. Someone needs to tell these people that Twitter is not a blogging service...
Or you should be a little more sensitive and read about the OP and why he doesn't use a blog (severe ADHD).
(Someone will always complain about this on HN whenever there is a twitter thread posted here, though I do get why the author gets annoyed with these complaints.)

Which, ironically, would be an early example of forced automatic updates messing things up.
I'm not a fan of this essay type thing being on twitter, split into lots of little tweets.
Twitter seems to be in this weird space where they have enough usability positives over other social media (pretty broadly accessible, doesn't pester you to log in, you can post NSFW content without it getting taken down) that I guess people just force themselves to use it, even if a blog post would be better formatted.

But SNES was before N64 - this person (me too!) wants a Pilotwings 64 sequel!
I was commenting about the SNES version of Pilotwings also not having a proper sequel. Been wanting one since '92 or so, don't remember when I beat it for the first time. Also, my copy of Pilotwings the Biplane crashes, always thought it was weird that the demo would do that. Guess I'm gonna have to find a copy with the other chip.
