The ~500kB NBSDGames 6 managed to be published ahead of GTA 6

The open-source game collection NBSDGames released version 6.0.1 on Tuesday, arriving years before Rockstar Games' anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6. The ~500kB package includes new titles Scissor and Treasure, improved AI difficulty scaling, and support for Plan9 and MS-DOS operating systems.

Version 6.0.1 #

VERSION 6 #

YEAH!

Despite all the delay and obstacles, HERE IS NBSDGAMES 6, RELEASED FAR AHEAD OF GTA 6! Which it not only surpasses in release schedule, but also in affordability, portability, efficiency, sustainability, Plan9 and MS-DOS support and everything else. So we can hope and wish that this release leaves the whole gaming industry bankrupt and malnourished.

As good as the games were, they now have better AI, which adjusts its own difficulty to provide much more engaging gameplay than before.

The game Scissor has been added, which has a pretty good and original gameplay and is a new genre of its own.

RedSquare's gameplay has changed a lot, it too is a new genre of its own (somewhat similar to Scissor) and its new gameplay opens endless possibilities in the ways you can play it.

The games Treasure, Revenge have also been added. They are good too.

There have been minor bugfixes as well.
