Have you noticed any games that have "overlooked details"? Maybe a character's sprite looks unfinished, or points aren't awarded for doing something risky, or there is no sound effect where there probably should be one?
Here are two I came up with...
(1) Tron. In later gridbugs levels, a Solar Sailor deposits a "bit" on the playfield which is worth 5000 points. But there is no sound when Tron grabs the bit. I would expect a short fanfare, or a sample of the bit from the movie saying "YES!", or at least a beep. But it's totally silent. Weird.
(2) Gunsmoke. The sheriff can eliminate bombs tossed by the mohawk guys by running over them before they explode. There is a short sound effect for this, but no points are awarded at all. As this is a risky maneuver, I'd expect at least a token 50-100 points for risking your life to defuse the bomb.
Anybody have any other overlooked details to add?
