How I think of Smooth: a surprising return to the top 40 charts for a classic rock guy by means of a totally forgettable but popular-at-the-time boring 2000s guy.

This is tough because video games doesn’t really work like this. Rob Thomas was only a song writer before forming Matchbox 20, maybe there’s an angle there. Or how Thomas wrote the lyrics and melody of Smooth, but it’s a Santana song featuring him, not the other way around. My understanding is that Thomas really wanted to work with Santana.

Based on that, I’m thinking Oye Como Va is like Asteroids, as it’s this massive hit from the 70s that people today are familiar with. Not something that people really seek out but everyone has at least passing familiarity and can hang out with it. It’s simple but elegant.

Smooth is San Francisco Rush, which had some of the same creatives at Atari and Midway and was popular in the 90s and impressive in a glossy mainstream way, but doesn’t have the same kind of timeless appeal.

Probably not anymore, but when it came out Rockstar Table Tennis caused quite a few people to scratch their heads.

I guess the fact that the Soviet government made any game is pretty surprising. Then the fact that it’s not communist propaganda and also one of the greatest games ever is astonishing.
