I was bored so I came up with a totally random idea for a video game, a Revolutionary War First Person Shooter. And it would be historically acurate so it would take like 20 seconds to reload.

If you have any ideas like this, go ahead and tell me.

A MMPOG of ruthless politics and the quest for absolute power.

Fetus Turismo.

What about a video game where you are an intergalactic superbeing seeking to increase your already formidable abilities by engaging in games of cribbage with other cosmic entities. With each victory, you become more powerful until eventually, after beating God himself in an epic game of cribbage you become the new Almighty. Then you make yourself a platter of tacos. :)

Sounds like video-game of cribbage dressed-up to look interesting. Besides, why would God play cribbage if it meant he could lose his powers? And how would an omnipotent being lose in the first place?

This idea has more holes in it than Mary-Kate and Ashley Become Hitmen would.

Exactly. It's perfect!

The Pre-School Experience.
Now everyone can have a little bundle of joy of their own.
Follow you child from he/r first breath and the first steps.
A real-time game, lie awake worrying about the little toddler as you listen to he/r cute echoing voice through the night.
Master the art of what seems such a simple things as changing diapers and feeding.
*all depictions of scenes that could otherwise be construed as offensive has been either removed or blurred, for your safety*

Exactly. It's perfect!

"Perfect" in same way that the old E.T. video game was.

I was going to propose a simulation of NSG politics... but then someone had come out with Forumwarz. Damn.

A Mario Party-style board game based on Schindler's List.

And if thats too offensive how about a Jihad-based RPG?

Oh. And a game for the Wii that at some point randomly instructs the player to whack themselves repeatedly round the face with the controller for bonus points. Just to see if there are people stupid enough to do it :p

A game where you stare at a set of eyes, whoever blinks first loses. The computer eyes never blink.....

Molest-o Priest. Christian Gamers's Gold, right there!

And a little, Cambodian boy. *nod*

The only downside to that game is that you only get to molest little boys.

Ba-Zing!

Well, in the E rated game, yes. Now, the Teen and R rated games... giggity giggity goo!

I posted that idea on here before, except mine was set in the Napoleonic wars...I also proposed one set in WW1.

Follow my lead, Uncle Willy. You grump.:mad:

There is a special place in Hell for people who make puns like that.

It isn't exactly an original gag.

There should be a Pokemon game where instead of only being a Pokemon trainer you can go for any career in the Pokemon world you want and live your whole life. Like be one of the people who fight trainers before they can get to the gym leader, or be a gym leader, or a Pokemon professor, or a nurse in a Pokecenter. Or you could be like that guy who lives in that one house with lots of mazes that change and gives you prizes in one of the games, I don't remember which. And maybe they could do something where you can be born anywhere and not just in one city, or have it online or something so that all the other trainers and people are actually real people.

That would be fun...

Yay! :D

A platform game about a kid with a backpack full of live tarantulas and how throwing them at random people and foes gets him points.

They should also make SimCity of the Dead or a post-apocalyptic SimCity game.
Survivalists would love it.

So basically a Pokemon MMORPG.

A platform-jumping game starring Steven Hawking.

A Poke'mon where you are a wild Pokemon who fights trainers, ovoids capture, levels up, evolves and breeds.

Yeah, except with more options than just playing the game over again.

A Poke'mon where you are a wild Pokemon who fights trainers, ovoids capture, levels up, evolves and breeds.

That'd be cool, too.

You could play that guy who walks in a predetermined path over and over again. When heroes come near, you can Press B to use your special move: Single Piece of Prerecorded Monologue about the Forest to the West.
They should also make SimCity of the Dead or a post-apocalyptic SimCity game.
Survivalists would love it.
Either of those would be great.


I'd like to see something like Dungeon Keeper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeon_Keeper), but done on a grand scale. With a whole country above your dungeon, and multiple levels to dig down toward. Eventually, you could assemble massive armies and start destroying the pathetic humans who live above you, and in the interim your vampires and such would raid/hunt nearby human towns to gather fresh victims.
Meanwhile parties of heroes forming in the various towns and such to come and kick your evil ass. As you grow more powerful and wealthy, the heros who come to fight you grow more powerful.

Will S&M be involved? A game like that would kick ass.:D

What about a Red Light District MMORP using technology like realtouch or this. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwU7pW9ctQs)

In a world where the dead have risen and walk the earth as zombies..... where nuclear fallout blots out the sun..... where rural areas have become uninhabitable, blasted wastelands..... where humanity has mutated into dozens of different species with varying physiological requirements, some good, some evil......

only one person can manipulate the gates of the tilted table to get the brightly coloured little ball to score the most points....

without ever allowing it to fall between them.


Coming in 2010: Postapocalyptic Pinball. Rated M, because those games make the most money.

P.S. If we can actually grab the damn license, we'll make it into Fallout™ Pinball. Hey, better us than Uwe Boll grabbing the license, right?

Torture chambers and slave pens would be obligatory, of course.
Well, there is Evil Genius (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_Genius_(video_game)).
Not quite the same, unfortunately. I want to conquer the elves and humans while summoning demons and luring different types of undead.

Stephen Hawking would not jump! He would invent superjump jets for his wheel chair. And megadestructor nuclear lasers. And robotic Hawkings to do the actual platforming for him.
Which, I guess would be the actual game.

Then I'll buy your game, Fiddy.

Then I'll buy your game, Fiddy.
I've got a sale. I don't have a game; I don't have any actual coding experience; I don't really have any idea how to start, but I have a sale. In Spain. Possibly. Based on an Internet statement.
But...SALE!

How about a video game in which you create video games?

Ooh! Even better; How about a video game in which you create video games that create video games?

I'm a genius! :D

This calls for endless recursion!

Although I doubt many would play it. Making video games strikes me as rather time-consuming and not particularly interesting. I mean, obviously the coders find it interesting, but to most people, there are no explosions, no hitpoints, no drama, no clever dialogue unless your supervisor or co-worker happens to walk by and say something funny, et cetera.

An RPG appropriately titled: The After-Party!

In it, you play a group of adventurers that performs (accidentally) the role of an adventuring clean-up crew. You arrive at every major location well-after the real heroes have left. You get to perform sidequests and fight bosses that have risen to power as a result of the heroes' meddlings.

At the end of the game, you arrive at the final dungeon after the BBEG has been killed. You finally cross paths with the heroes on their way out. As they leave, the PC party laments on how little impact they actually had on anything as the fortress crumbles on top of them. Killing them. Dead.

There are ways to spice up the office environment though:

"Random NPC" the RPG.

It's an online game where you play as a random NPC that waits around for a hero character to show up, then you have to quickly answer your prelisted series of questions when asked, take too long or answer the wrong one and the hero kills you.

Of course in reailty the game is actually set up so you are just part of a REAL RPG, thus the creators of the game don't need to code NPCs for that game because they have you do it for them.

The loading bar game: As soon as it loads, it goes backwards. You can even change the colour!

A videogame where you converse with other players through a system of posts and replies and threads...

Git Surfing
A bit like GTA but rather than stealing cars you force old people to give you piggybacks and you race them.

A Master of Orion dating sim would simultaneously be the worst and the best thing ever.

How about a video game in which you create video games? there was one for the Playstation. Dungeon maker... dungeon creator... took a complete memory card but you create and design your own RPG.

Hmmm... Real Time Civ. a game where you start off with cavemen and you have to train them and create an empire. in real time. 1 day game time = 1 day real life... turn off the game and you have to start all over.

Brothers in Arms: Peace
you have to avoid killing anything and anyone. no blowing things up.

Dungeons and Dragons:
You play geeks who go to play D&D.

Strip Solitare:

Solitare Pong

Competitive Solitaire

Extreme Dominos

Strip Pong

Pokemon: PETA
you have to go around and capture as many pokemon as you can get. then you have to kill them and store their bodies so that they can be used to illustrate how 'ebil' those heartless trainers are.

Pokemon: Greenpeace
You have to insert yourself between a pokemon trainer and the pokemon they want to capture. points are awarded for each 'non-confrontational' success of thwarting a trainer. everytime you get physical with a trainer or battle him, you loose points.

Winter War FPS.

A Christian-Evangelist version of GTA, where you play an up-and-coming preacher moving into some strange city. You must choose your sect, and load up on an arsenal of scripture and powerful interpretations thereof. Meanwhile you need to avoid the godless-atheist-liberal-commies-whatevergoeshere who patrol the streets.

You can also attempt to woo one of a variety of proper, modest, submissive Christian women to be your bride.

Edit: Unless you're in a sect that doesn't let you marry I guess. How many/which allow/disallow clergy marriage?

Geometric Politics
You are a shape living in a world of geometric shapes
You choose what shape you are and begin on a quest to stop a war between the triangles and squares using political negotiations and backdoor dealings

I've said this on previous threads, but I still think a post-conflict RPG could work. You go into generic war-damagedistan. The first task might be a 3D version of minesweeper with epic special effects. Then you wander around the base, try and gain the respect of your peers by behaving inappropriately to local women, visiting prostitutes and suchlike, while balancing this against avoiding a scandal that the media will pick up on. As you rise up the ranks, more bonus games become available, such as torture-based minigames in the local prison. Later, as the occupation becomes increasing unpopular, you'd engage in open combat with insurgents and patrol towns looking for terrorists. For added realism, just as you are ordering in an airstrike, or aiming to eliminate terrorists in civilian setting, the screen would go black so you have no idea what you are doing, leading you to frequently kill many innocent civilians and soldiers of your allies' armed forces.

At the end, you leave with the troop withdrawal, and the last scene shows the enemy triumphantly taking control of the country. Your character is then overcome with guilt at the pointless taking of so many lives, the last screen you see is your character holding a gun to his head, and as the picture fades out you hear a gunshot.

SimHell. 'nuff said.

Dibs on the Trilarians!

Hmmm... Real Time Civ. a game where you start off with cavemen and you have to train them and create an empire. in real time. 1 day game time = 1 day real life... turn off the game and you have to start all over.

So you have to play for about 100,000 years without turning your computer off?

That would be awesome. But everyone would want to be the White Death, so it'd be pointless to add any other option to the game.:p

"Descent?" I'd think that chaos would be more of a lateral move for you.

Oh, I understand. You live in the great country of Texas, where men walk with huge cowboy hats and humongous belt-buckles. It's understandable you want to leave.

Which reminds me, we can make a game about your plight. ''Leavin' Texas'', Grand Theft Auto style.

I would love a political fighting game. Something like Smash bros, but with famous political and Media figures.

CHATO! No wonder all the furniture has been looking so tall lately.

So you have to play for about 100,000 years without turning your computer off?

what better way to teach long term planning.

no more chop that wood, mine that ore, wait a couple of seconds and poof... Musketters!
