So this kid posted a game that he spent $1800+ developing on a very popular website called Something Awful. He tried to sell it at $20 a copy but when they all said it sucked and it should be free he dropped it to $9.99.
They made a trailer for the game.

The game featured printer driver support, the hebrew character set, and used 250mb of ram.
Actual gameplay footage:
Features 3 minutes of musicless white text on black background game intro.
Writer (skilled)
Composer (skilled)
Artist (skilled)
He also made all the music and sounds himself along with the "art."
The wind was him blowing into a mic, the fire was crumpling paper, equipping items was him throwing a coin in a jar full of coins, and attack sounds were him hitting his hand on his desk!
They tried their best to improve the game:
Game of the century.
