Where does this meme come from? America has a way worse ratio of shitty/good retrogames, outside of the same memegames they constantly bring up you have to dig a lot to actually find something even slighly worth playing. Yes, you can laugh at the amiga europlatformers and call them shitty and generic, but the American alternatives where fucking Commander Keen, Dangerous Dave or Jazz Jackrabbit.

Alone In The Dark.

Not only it pretty much invented survival horror as we knew it until the PS2 era, but it was also the first to come up with using 3D models within 2D pre-rendered backgrounds. This technique was a revolution and used during more than a decade, and not just for survival horror. Think of how even games like FF7/8/9 use it, and it's all owed to AITD.
