If You Could Make A Game......

[xXLilRikaXx]

If you could make a game what would it be about and what kinda game would it be :)

I would make a platformer because those are my fav types of games :3 And I would have a cute little thing like kirby ^-^ and he would be saving someplace from an evil guy :P

I didn't put much detail into mine <.< I wanna see waht you guys come up with tho ^_^

[Christuserloeser]

It probably would be a 'Thunder Force'-type of shmup, a 'Streets of Rage'-type of brawler, a 'Monster World'-type of action adventure, or a 'Shining Force'-type of TRPG.

It would run on Mega Drive / Genesis hardware and use Tiido's sound engine :-)

[xXLilRikaXx]

Kewl ^_^ got a name for it?

[Deo]

I'd make Phantasy Star V and make it PSIV style but make it hard like PSII.

[Phantar]

I think I would go for a point-and-click adventure, dark, grim and gritty. A classic film noir-story: Someone (the hero) gets hired to do a small job, gets involved in a bigger story, accused of murder, caught in the web of a conspiracy, attracted to and played with by an attractive lady with an unknown agenda. The setting, however, would be an industrial steam punk-complex, constantly clouded in smog and plagued by acid rain, but also the most hospitable place to live in. Needless to say, it's pretty dark.

As for the name... well, since "Borderlands" was recently taken, I think I'd go for "Junker" instead, since that would be the "occupation" of our hero: Somone who makes a living going dumpster diving and trying to find something useful in the junkyards of the industrial complex everyone lives in.

Just an idea, anyways. I like dark and brooding stories...

"I'd make Outrun, but with black jack...and hookers...awww...screw the whole thing"

[QuickSciFi]

^I'd make a Futurama title for the Genesis!!!!

[WarmSignal]

Do you ever hear those commercials on GameStop TV when you're in one of those stores?

Well, those are basically my ideas. Those are the types of games I would make.

Ah ha ha, I actually am making a game. A platformer, specifically.

A game based on House M.D. with gameplay similar to those classic C64 elevator like games,
You'd be Dr House walking around in the hospital, but you need your vicodin!
so you run around collecting Vicodin and avoiding Cuddy, along the way you
can visit the office of Wilson and play pranks on patients.

but to solve the level you'll need to cure the patient, which means that on top of the screen
you'll see where to go and who to talk to.

So get your Vicodin or your health will go down and you'll slow down,
making it easier for Cuddy to find you and give you clinic duty! (which sucks so you'll lose a life)

That actually doesn't sound like that bad of a game!

[Iron Lizard]

I would make an incredibly long 2d RPG ,at least a few gigs. The story would kick ass. It would be challenging but never frustrating.

[Nunzio]

I would make a sci-fi cinematic racing game for the Sega CD. There would be cutscenes and a full plot line between the races with Snatcher style art and voice overs.

You start as a rookie with a new team and deal with the drama of team tactics, having to go in second to let your team mate make an extra point, etc. Slowly you uncover a plot where the mega corporation that runs the races is killing drivers for profit. Soon after, they try to kill you in a race to shut you up! You have to win the championship, save your sexy lady mechanic from assassins and bring down the giant corporation.

Of course there is split screen multiplayer and an arcade mode. The end should be very dramatic, I want the main character to die somehow, right after he succeeds.

The music would be fast electro.

Imagine F Zero, with larger cars in a Blade Runner/Akira future, with Snatcher cutscenes and without the flamboyant characters.

[Honey the Cat]

2D sidescrolling arena shooter for Genesis with AI deathmatch mode, support for 2 TeamPlayers allowing for a total of 8 players, and a "Campaign" which consists of the player winning fights. I'd aim for Super Smash Bros. meets Contra with various Sega characters like Sonic, Joe Musashi, and Ax-Battler (could even surpass SSB and Contra combined).

close, at least as far as game type is concerned:

id make a classic no rules no gloves buttonmashing ufc game with classic 94/95 rosters you know gracie,severn,shamrock,kimo,ruas,taktarov,tank,var elans each one with his own strengths,weaknesses and distinguishable size and fighting style .definetely with multiplayer head to head,tournament and create a fighter modes plus lots of blood, more than usual. maybe with the greatest heavyweights striking engine with an easy but complex grappling/takedown/submission system or maybe even in the same style as the multiplane snk fighters only in a cage and with more grappling. i would also make a re make of both metal gear and metal gear 2: solid snake for the sega cd with updated 16 bit graphics and re done high quality stylish cut scenes and codec dialogue with actual voice acting like in snatcher maybe even parts with light gun action like in snatcher that would be awesome!
and yet another game i would make is a super powerfull 32 bit 2-d shinobi IV. possibly for the sega saturn or the 32x. with equal graphics to symphony of the night but the same controlls as shinobi 3 with added moves and magic and a nice story. i would definetely make joe look like he did in either revenge of shinobi or shinobi 3 with updated visuals

[Honey the Cat]

Outfoxies seems kinda slow to me, but fun. I'd make mine faster paced and allow for eight players using two TeamPlayers.

No I mean a good game.

[Rusty Venture]

My dream game would be a "dating sim" game just like the one in the series "Excel Saga"

Bombs, options to kill Excel, and the third option on *every* menu is "put it in". :lol: Plus the English voice actors who did the series have to do the in game voices.

"I'd call it "Oh Miss Ayasugi!


"Who puts a bomb in a dating sim???"

[TmEE]

I am slowly making a game... for MD... Run n gun + platformer plus some other gameplay styles, full action, lot of gibs, guts, gore, blood, explosions, you name it :twisted:

[Rusty Venture]

So you're making a Genesis port of "Abuse"? :p

[Flygon]

Like any lame lifeless teenager, it'd probably end up being a generic RPG, with generic plot, stale characters and just absolute boredom.

Actually, I have always wanted to make something Shining Force styled, but I quite simply lack the musical and artistic skills needed, not to mention an absolute lack of being able to make an engine. Kind of disappointing honestly, I have gotten stories written down (albeit, not completed) for the task, though, they aren't amazing fodder. =P

Half the reason I got into hacking Shining Force, of course, now that Shining Force II is being disassembled... I've really stalled.

A two dimensional platformer has been of interest to me, but I'm afraid I'd probably end up just ripping off inspiration from so many sources it isn't funny.

[TmEE]

So you're making a Genesis port of "Abuse"? :p

no... but that game seems a lot of fun too, need to get my hands on that one :twisted:

[ninjabearhug]

I'd make a run + gun game, the main character would be an MD collector and the enemies would be rival collectors with big F**king guns. When you killed enemies little MD games would appear which you would have to collect. The aim of the game would be to collect a full MD set, but there would be loads of hidden areas as well as games hidden in the scenery etc. I need to learn how to programme....

[mrbigreddog]

I've already posted this before, but Another World Really needs a REAL sequel.

MAME it, it's available on any ROM site you can name. Don't let the japanese-only release slow you down ;)

that would be so cool, I could see someone really making a flash game like that, just gotta find the right person to pitch the idea to.

Never heard of this game before, I'll have to try and find it! I see it's for N64 and Playstation, Maybe the new Wii64 emulator will play it!

no, fuck that, N64 and PSX versions are craptastic ports of the second game, which isn't nearly as good.

Get either the DOS or Mac version, it's fairly cheap and at least the demo will run in DOSBox (get a frontend version that does the dirty work for you, you'll have to google since I don't know what a good one is for PC)

here's the demo:

that guy sucks at it, but it at least gives you an idea. The handling is weird at first, but once you learn how to use the handbrake, it becomes alot easier to handle.

Sounds Great Man ^-^ UFC Is Kewlio :3

[zetastrike]

I'd make a sidescrolling shmup for the Saturn featuring soldiers wearing high tech battle armor equipped with lasers, beam sabers, and other exotic weapons. You'd start out with one suit, but would gain more when you beat each boss. It would have anime cutscenes and a pulsing techno soundtrack. You would fly through space and various earth locations.

[Dirt Ball Gamer]

I would take the game engine from my favorite basketball game NBA2k2 on DC and redesign it to be a post apocalypse futuristic ultra violent version of cyborg/mutant street basketball. After a hard foul between two players the game play engine would switch to UFC mode and you could beat the hell out of the other player like in Hockey games. Basically mutant league basketball for DC.

I like that idea alot! Ever played NBA on NBC for DC? It's basically updated NBA Jam!

[N.Saibot]

I would port a game-idea I once saw on a russian computer. I totally forgot what the
name of the game was, but it starred a ninja who was infiltrating a huge building (like
16 screens in total, a huge map of 4x4 screens or maybe more).

At the start he was flying with some sort of planer and choosing where to land. It is
like a small minigame - you have to choose at which screen you are jumping of. Then
you will end up starting the infiltration mission in a specific place, exactly where you
landed.

My game would be in 2D, no fake 3D-style. It would have that minigame at the start
and the rest would be all about sneaking around, gathering stuff that will help you
complete the level (the objective would be different each time kidnap someone,
destroy something deep inside the building, assasinate someone, steal stuff, you
name it). Basically it would be like Splinter Cell with a bigger emphasis on puzzles.

The game would have to be a Mega Drive+CD game, with maps (and maybe music)
loaded from the CD, but the basic sprites and other stuff that benefits from quick
access beeing on cart. It would be delievered with 10 huge maps printed on thick
paper in color (for each level, so that people know, i.e., where to jump of the planer
to land on a specific place and stuff like that).

I would also make it possible to complete every level with two fully different
strategies and a password-system for each of them (like in Another World - you
achieve something - you get a password to start from here).

Yeah, if I could, I would be such a kick-ass programmer : D

[Dunn]

It'd be so evil that I couldn't even begin to talk about how evil it would be.

[16-bit]

I would make the Canadian Football version of NFL Blitz, if I couldn't get licensing for that I'd probably make an awesome run n' gun for the Sega Genesis, with tons of explosions. I'd hire the guy who did the music for Rocket Knight Adventures to program the music.

[TheEdge]

I would make a new adventure game like Deja vu or Shadowgate. Those games rock.

[Iron Lizard]

How about a 3d version of Taco Joe?

It actually IS the sequel to NBA JAM. Midway lost/sold the NBA JAM name to Acclaim sometime between NBA JAM TE and NBA HANGTIME. The real sequels are listed on Wikipedia, of which Showtime: NBA ON NBC is the best before it started getting blinged out.

Yeah I have the PAL version. I love arcadey sports games but I didn't play that one very many times for some reason. I might throw it on again soon.

[shinobimusashi]

some more games that need to be made but never will unless i miraculously learn how to program video games would be a 128 bit or current gen video game version of maximum overdrive with lots of badass boss battles (ice cream truck,steamroller,soda machine, and the infamous green face deisel truck) with a sprawled out free roaming style similair to that of grand theft auto with the option to complete objectives and progress through the storyline or just roam and explore the crushed city seiged by vehicles and electronic devices. id also add alot of badass weapons like missile launchers and such just like what the crooked store owner was hording in the movie. also gotta have the classic acdc soundtrack and opening draw bridge scene

if there is any Stephen King IP that deserves to be sourced into a video game.

It's The Dark Tower series.

I mean, shit...It has:
Dimensional Portals, Mutants, Vampires, Cowboys, Demons, 1980's Gangsters, Post-Apocalypse NYC, Wizards, Robots, Time Travel, Serial Killers, etc. :blah:
