Stupid game ideas (Your own)

[lailoken]

how about a game where the player is superman without his invulnerability and if he runs into stuff too fast or flys too fast against something he dies. so his mission is to stay alive... and he can't control his superpowers and ends up in this special hospital to learn to deal with his powers and he gets to know this other superhero and they become best friends because the other guy is indistructible and the only person our hero can interact with properly but then, when the girlfriend of mister indistructable comes to visit, our superhero kills here and him and indistructable become enemies and take the fight to the streets and in the end it turns out the player is the bad guy and the people hate him... puuuh... candy.... hmmmmmm

That sounds incredible!

In defence of the wonderful, imaginative and evocative art style of Luna, I showed a sample of it to a couple of people. Some said, 'Jesus Christ', while others just remained speechless. Kingzjester was the only person that said, "Pfft, that's AWFUL."

How about Bill Gates: World Domination Kit

You start out as a young Bill, and use your wealth and power to build your corporate emprie, buy things for a billionare playboy lifestyle, and dominate the world.

Like the real Bill, only with a cooler life.

You're a Russian scientist living in an appartment building in Moscow. You have just done something really stupid -- discovered a nearly zero-cost energy source. Your big mouth told about it to someone you shouldn't have.

The woman next door, whom you trust, and who is also a scientist, and very hot (but with small breasts) and much smarter than you, advises you to keep this secret for now and has information that the person you told is about to contact government officials about this. Your first task is to stop him. You fail, of course and pretty soon everyone is after you. The government wants your research to use it strictly for military purposes, the oil magnates want you dead and your research destroyed.

You will start an escapade through the entire world (with your hot neighbour) but wherever you go, more agencies will be after you, and at the same time you have to build a network of people whom you trust to bring this discovery to use throughout the world.

(but with small breasts)

Ha, ha! I see you have no interest in pitching this game to publishers.

[Redwall]

A real-time strategy game based on a mercenary force. You set up a base in a friendly territory, recruit some locals, train them, buy weapons to equip them with and transportation, and then accept contracts to send them on. Money from successful missions goes to paying your mercenaries' salaries, upkeep of bases, and buying new equipment/ammo/transportation/bases. Besides the contracts you also have to eliminate competing merenarcy groups, keep the local governments friendly to you, and keep your local reputation high enough to continue recruiting new mercenaries and getting new contracts. Everything takes place on the same giant map.

Something like this has probably actually been made and I just don't know it.

Why not publish it on the internet? The energy source i mean. And, man, it's soooo obvious, the hot chick is after the secret herself...or working for terrorists....

EDIT: But then, she DOES have small breasts... that complicates matters... this story is now totally unpredictable

You know what I think would be cool? Like, imagine this totally weird, fantasy world where the light of the Moon can turn people insane, right? And there used to be two Moons in the sky but apparently a group of thieving, good-for-nothing gypsies stole the other and hid it somewhere, because that's the kind of shit Gypsies do. And in this world, there are Atronomers, except THIS kind of Astronomy is exciting because they get to explore the highest mountains and the deepest caverns and the most dangerous corners of the Planet in search of clues as to why the Light of the Moon drives people insane. And the main character is an astronomer, and she gets to--

Whoa, whoa! Time out!

"She"?!

A female astronomer?

Oh, I thought you said astronaut. I have no problems with female astronomers.

But I have all sorts of wild and crazy game ideas myself, but they're all just simple physics or AI driven game/sims/toys, and I never get around to making stuff like that. Aahh, to be young and full of ideas. I so want to become old, resigned and bitter.

[Rio]

I've always wanted to play a shoot-em up/action game where you play as Dr. Phil who not only kills thousands of undead and/or nazis but simultanously analzes their mental condition and gives them a heart-warming lesson.

[Salka]

You're not even gonna believe this. It's just amazing.

But sometimes, if you concentrate very hard, you can actually erase things you didn't mean to say on the internet before you post stuff, OR EVEN AFTER YOU POST STUFF!

I won't say exactly how, but here's a hint: Backspace!

[Erkki]

Why not publish it on the internet? The energy source i mean.

Not that easy. You see at first he wants to profit from this discovery, not give it away. Plus he has no time for it at first. But as he visits many different locations in the world and sees how people are suffering everywhere, he will change and want to get it out to the public even if he doesn't gain anything.

[Erkki]

Ha, ha! I see you have no interest in pitching this game to publishers.

Yes, that's my key strategy of keeping publishers from trying to buy me out. I will have fabricated irreversible proof that the game can't be done without the woman having small breasts.

I know, I know. Sorry.

But, that reminded me of something a game I'd make would not have, and that is written logs or diarieswhere it says stuff like "Oh no, there's something outside my room! It's broken in through the door! It's horrible, oh my God. It's coming closer and is about to eat me! Agh, it's eating me as I write this. AHAHAEEOOEHEEGGGGGHH! I'm now dead. Sincerely, Clarence." Those are so lame. I mean, who writes stuff in their diary right as they're about to die? An audio log, okay, but a written one?

NO WAY.

Call it Pikey Moon

My game would be Sonic the Hedgehog... but First Person... with a treadmill.

That is hilarious. Best. Game. Ever.

[Jaero]

Pikey Moon and Evolution: World Builder sound pretty fun. Rio's Dr. Phil sounds pretty cool too, but I would add one thing. That fat bald bastard being a shrink (not a real doctor), it's only appropriate that he have his own line of diet shakes and energy bars--really, it's the only way--so whenever you run into a fat boss, you can win him over with false promises of self confidence and a tighter butt. Funny, it almost makes sense, save that Dr. Phil isn't the least bit fit. He needs to exploit his name and profession next by being the spokesperson for the Hair Club for Men.

My idea though... well, I haven't really gotten too far. Actually, I have, but I want to do something original and valuable (not in terms of monetary worth), and when I got to the point where one of the main characters was Native American, I realized that pubishers would urinate in my face. So thanks for crushing my dreams, IdleThumbs.

[Nick]

That is hilarious. Best. Game. Ever.

I can see it in arcades everywhere. The only thing I haven't figured out yet is how jumping would work.

[Erkki]

Wait, I just remembered I had this cool idea some days ago about a game where you play a kid (around 10 or so) in a small town. There are also lots of other kids and there are "gangs". Not really gangs, but something like the "War of Roses" in Lindgren's Kalle Blomqvist (Blomquist?).

And youd do all kinds of stuff that kids do. Basically, it would be a family version of Grand Theft Auto, but there would be a more prominent story and some adventure-style puzzles and dialogues.

The Centenarians

It's about a super hero team similar to the Justice League only all the members are like, 150 years old. You’re only allowed to play for 10 minutes every hour because your characters need to pause for naps. And if you do anything too strenuous (like jump) you break a hip.
