On Feb. 9 , the western world fell into chaos as "Flappy Bird," a highly addictive game, was removed from mobile app stores by Dong Nguyen, an independent developer in Vietnam.
since then, people have scrambled to create clones of "Flappy Bird" including "Fly Birdie," "Flappy Bee," Flappy Plane" and Ironpants," to satiate the addictive gaming habit of smartphone owners.
"Flappy Bird" has continued to take on an almost cultlike following with game developers and consumers.
you can now buy "Flappy Bird" - themed T-shirts, mugs, neckties, sweaters, iPhone cases, wristwatches, pillows and jewelry. There are even crocheted "Flappy Bird" hats for sale on Etsy to keep you warm during these cold winter months.
Last week , a developer made a cublike version of "Flappy Bird" for Minicraft. Another developer created a version that can run on the Commodore 64-bit, an 8-bit home computer that went on sale in 1982 from Commodore International. There is now an ASCII version, which uses just standard characters used in The American Standard code for information interchange, originally based in the English alphabet. And in one of the most impressive instance, the game has been ported to a Texas instrument graphics calculator.
When the original game taken down in early February, Nguyen said he pulled the game from the App store because it was "an addictive product."
