The point is that the boring run-of-the-mill stuff doesn’t get exported.

Western film audiences got to form a highly positive opinion of Japanese movies from the works of Ozu, Kurosawa, Oshima.

Similarly American gamers in the Amiga era got a handful of the most original French games and formed their opinion of “Frenchness in gaming” based on those.

Would you say that by example Ray man was weird/unusual ? It sure has exported itself. Also raving rabbits.

Rayman definitely fits with the “quirky French” narrative. The other game I don’t know.

Funny that I didn't see it (I'm french). What do you find quirky in it ? (Talking about the first 2d one by example)
