Bagel Wars 64 By Devilrays There are four different modes of play - bagel army battles, trademark wars, donut invasion, and tournament fighting. The bagel army battles consist of duels between different kinds of bagels, sort of like gang battles. Play as the plain bagels, the onion bagels, the egg bagels, the cinnamon raisin bagels, the blueberry bagels, and the everything bagels. There are many modes of play within this, including mini-games - turf wars, which involves organized duels between members of two gangs; Chinese Bagels, which is played like Chinese Checkers only with bagels and if you are jumped twice you are out, just to add strategy; and invasion, or an attack on another army's home turf. Also, if you find cream cheese, it helps you as it can be used as a weapon or as a power-up. You can also have drag races for cream cheese and turf. The winner forces all other kinds of bagels into submission. The trademark war is between DEATHAMSTER, DOVEBLOB, DEVILRAYS, and PUDDMANN, who are, of course, EZBoarders. DEATHAMSTER claims she started the "bagel" phenomenon, as she was the one who first logged on as DOVEBLOB and did the "where...can I find.....a bagel?" thing first, while DOVEBLOB says she started it because DEATHAMSTER saw her feeding bagels to the doves in the park and turned that into the bagel phenomenon. DEVILRAYS, however, is convinced the DOVEBLOB user had been absent from EZBoard for such a time that it was acceptable for him to use a bagel theme for his Slippery Pete user, for which he got the idea off a friend at school. PUDDMANN insists there must be no trademarking and will attempt to trademark such words as "if" when the trademark war starts. Whoever gets the trademark wins; however, if no one ends up with the trademark, PUDDMANN wins...and we can't have that, can we? The story behind donut wars is that the unified bagel military is being threatened by the evil donut regiment, led by General Eclair, who has vowed to destroy all bagels. Your mission is to retrieve all the stolen cream cheese and destroy the frosting factory, and send in your bagel soldier to defeat General Eclair one-on-one. Tournament fighting is just like it sounds - from the beginning, you can fight as any of the six types of bagels, each with its own special power and ability to use cream cheese or plastic spreading knives (hint: if it isn't Philadelphia cream cheese, it isn't as good,) and all four EZBoarders are available with their own special powers, but they can't use cream cheese, though they're a bit stronger than the bagels (this evens the playing field.) Also, you can unlock any Donut Boss once it is defeated in Donut Wars; defeat the glazed donut, the powdered donut, the lemon-filled donut, the jelly donut, the custard-filled donut, and of course General Eclair, who is the best fighter but is tough to use. Plus, the CD looks just like a bagel...and there are six different ones for each type of bagel! You would have to be insane not to buy at least 31 copies of each one! BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

Beat the Clock By Bomberguy221 Okay, the object of this game is to beat the clock. There's a 4k track you have to run on, filled with obstacles like other runners, bicyclists, people holding cups of water, and (in the final kilometer) herdles. When you reach the end, you get a baseball bat to beat your alarm clock with. Get it? Beat the clock! HAHAHAHAHAHA... Yeah, so. Enjoy. BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

BJ Strykes: The New Adventures By SethraShnoo This is a game like Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures, where you use a slingshot to guide BJ around. Your first goal is to wake him up. It won't be easy. The alarm clock doesn't work, so you have to hit him in the head with the slingshot a few times. Try hitting him enough times to push him off the side of the bed and wake him up. If all else fails, slingshot his down so the dog will leap on him and wake him up. Then hit him with the slingshot enough times to guide him down the stairs. Be careful he doesn't slip on one of the slingshot marbles and fall down. Then you have to continue to slingshot your way to victory as you force him to get breakfast, read the newspaper, turn on the television, and brush his hair. His hair is really messy and sticks up in huge points like Cloud's hair, so you have to shoot at the individual points to make him comb those parts down. Then you have to get dressed and go to work. Then after he comes home from work, he trips and falls on the floor, and proceeds to sleep there. Your object now will be to use the slingshot to shoot the ever-growing layer of dust off of him.

Captain Crunch & the War Against Chocula By CB007 Lead Captain Crunch and his allies, Trix Rabbit, Lucky the Leprechaun,and Toucan Sam on a quest to defeat the evil Count Chocula and his army of chocolate marshmallows. You can switch between characters at the end of every level, like in SMB2. Captain Crunch has the ability to summon up infinite Crunch Berries and Peanut Butter Crunch pieces to attack his enemies with. He also has a ship you can use to cross areas of water. Trix Rabbit throws Trix cereal at his enemies. The cereal bounces around though, and if he gets hit by mistake, he loses lots of health (Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids!) Lucky can make a rainbow to travel over groups of enemies and drop enormous pots of gold (and other shapes) on them. Toucan Sam drives enemies crazy with hunger for his cereal, letting him walk through a stage unharmed. The battle with Count Chocula will be a fierce one, much like the battles with Dracula in the Castlevania games... He has lots of secret powers and can change forms. As his cereal is superior to all the others, it will be an uphill struggle to defeat him. Beating the game unlocks a mode where you can play as Count Chocula!!!! BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

Christmas Shopping 64 By Devilrays You play as an ordinary 17-year-old with no money, and it's the last week of October. You have to buy gifts for your father, your mother, your stepmother, your grandparents, your cousins, your uncle, your pets, and two for your brother, and they have to be quality gifts. You need to find a job and stay there for two months, and use your employee discount to its fullest advantage. The climax of the game is Christmas Day, where you will receive ratings on what gifts you bought. If they already have the gift you have to exchange it; you receive a C- rating for that gift. If they take offense to the gift you receive an F. If they love the gift, receive an A. The challenge is to buy gifts for the family that they will all like while still having enough money to pay for a crotchety old '63 Dodge Dart, which breaks every mile-and-a-half.

City Connection 2 By SETZERtheGREAT This time, you have a map of North America and you have to drive across, connecting lines between cities, two at a time. The ultimate goal is to try to make a picture of something by connecting the dots. But you have to watch out for cats again, and this time there are also ducks, squirrels and turtles.

Crane Game 64 By James Torrance It's the videogame version of a crane game! Control your mechanical arm to try to grab any of 64 possible prizes inside the crane game machine within a time limit. You only have so many credits, so you have to earn more by getting prizes and then selling them. The game ends when you're either out of credits, or you get every last prize in the machine. If you get all the prizes, you get the best ending, which will be full of CHOCOLATELY GOODNESS!! BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

Crawl's Harem 64 By SethraShnoo In this game, you are an internet woman trying to get into Crawl's harem. Propose marriage to him all over the message board. Write dirty poems about him! Make lots of bad puns about his name (ie, "I wish you would CRAWL into bed with me!") Send him loveletters through the N-Sider message center as "ILOVECRAWLAND1000" (Yes, that profile is really there, folks! Go look it up!) Make up cute little nicknames for him, such as Crawlie Smoosh, and Snuggle Mush. Reply to every one of his posts with a +10 font size "SNUGGLE MUSH!!" Laugh manically! Ask him to snuggle with you! The options are endless! If you win the game, and make it into Crawl's harem, you get to snuggle with what could possibly be the sexiest guy on the whole internet! BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

Demonic Duckenheimer By Goombog You play as a demonic duck with a pirate hat on and a long beak. His name is Duckenheimer. And for the story: Duckenheimer was regarded as an ugly duckling by his family, so he is booted from his group as a baby and is sent down the river. Meanwhile a fat guy named Slappy flushed radioactive taco filling town his toilet, which went into the sewers, which emptied out into the river. Duckenheimer gets a taste of this while he floats along and the radiation gets to his brain, overwriting various neurons so he is under the illusion that he is a pirate, so he renames himself "Demonic Duckenheimer" and wears a pirate captain's hat. His long beak acts as a cleaver. And now for your objective: Duckenheimer has moved to an old mansion that has been abandoned for years. He wants to keep it all for himself. So whenever humans move in, he kills them and hides the bodies to make the house live up to its reputation as a "haunted house." In short, Duckenheimer puts everyone under the illusion that the house is haunted because of all the recent disappearances. So throughout the game, your mission is to play as Demonic Duckenheimer and to think of effective ways of taking out whoever moves into the mansion. Youc an do things like use your beak to snip a chandelier so that it crushes someone. If you see a guy warming himself near the fireplace you can push him in. If you see a person sitting down in front of a low coffee tbale, you can walk behind it so that your pirate hat sticks out and you scare the person to death because they think the hat is operated by a ghost. There are endless possibilities in this game. One thing's for sure: your mission is to keep the house's reputation a haunted one. BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

Devil May Fry By Nintendawg Cook anything from fried devil to devil food cakes. BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

Dining Force By Codie Martin One thousand years ago, the evil Black Chicken rose from the dreaded Oven of Darkness. A quantam leap past overdone, Black Chicken unleashed his fury on the crops of the land. The Cooking Agents unleashed their power on the Black Chicken, and sealed him within the Refrigerator of Light. But just before the door on the Refrigerator closed, Black Chicken vowed to one day return. One thousand years later, you are Fatass, a soldier in training for Gorgiana ("GORGE-ee-ah-nah"). Fatass is called out one day to take care of some ogre stealing vegetables, and when he comes back the town's entire food supply has been stolen, but most importantly the sacred Golden Steak Knife of Light has been stolen by Cake, the cliche legendary hero enslaved by the real bad guy who we never learn anything else about. Join forces with... Puke! The short fat guy who eats a lot then vomits on his foes! Ketchup! One of the countless Centaur Knights you'll be using to tear your way through the game and spill your enemies' ketc... wait, that's not ketchup... Taco! The sorceress who'll fry her enemies' esophoguses with her deadly Heartburn spell! Hamburg! Who uses deadly accuracy to shoot Hardee's Monster Burgers down his enemies' throats and give them heart trouble! And Icecreamcone! The healer of the party with his delicious and soothing ice cream sundaes! Race against Porksol and his minions before they get the Key and whatever the hell that other item was and open the door to the Refrigerator of Light and unleash the terror of Black Chicken on the land! Battle countless exciting foes that are either dumb as a rock or cheap as smashed glass! Be inspired by plot twists that go nowhere! Drop your jaw in awe at graphics that make your characters look even fatter than they already are and lack almost any kind of detail! Dance to music that could have been made by a two-year-old on a sugar rush and a Playskool piano thingy! Merge the Golden Steak Knife of Light with the Silver Steak Knife of TOTAL EVILNESS BWA HA HA and somehow make the SUPER OH MY GOD HAPPY MEAL TOY SURPRISE ULTRA STEAK KNIFE OF ETERNAL SUNSHINE! You won't want to be eating while playing DINING FORCE, especially since its quality rivals that of Shining Force! BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

Extreme Peach Volleyball By Contributor I was thinking this game game could be a collection of all the female Nintendo characters in swimsuits. Kinda perverted, so some will be unlockables. I'll even throw in some guys. Peach Daisy Zelda Link Mario Bros. and Wario Bros. (cousins?) Unlockables: Bowser and Jr. Prof. Gadd (Old time stripe swimsuit...heh.) Pauline (One piece and unlockable 2-piece) Shiek (Boy and Girl forms) Young Link? Maybe even Marth and Roy The Ice Climbers possibly Samus Aran BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

Fester's Quest 64 By thislevelisclouds You play as Fester in lush, 3D environments. The battles are turn-based and monotonous, and after every battle sequence, you find yourself lost because the camera is facing a different direction. There is only one level because level 1 is impossible. BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

Filkin' to Game Music by SethraShnoo Inspired by Bomberguy221's "Filkin' to the Oldies" game comes the sequel, Filkin' to Game Music! In this game, you are given famous pieces of video game music and you must write words to them. You are awarded points on how well you rhyme in complete sentences. Some famous game tunes you'll filk to: The Super Mario Bros. theme The Legend of Zelda theme Bloody Tears and Vampire Killer from the Castlevania series The "Prologue" and "Prelude" themes from the Final Fantasy series The Dragon Warrior title theme The Moon Patrol theme The "Song of Storms" from Ocarina of Time The entire Brutal: Paws of Fury soundtrack And hundreds more! The game will also contain some original music that you can write lyrics for, but who really cares about those? BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

Filkin' to the Oldies By Bomberguy221 In this game, you have a selection of several songs from the 70's, 80's and 90's that you can use to make a filk, or a song with fan-made lyrics. You write the lyrics, sync the lyrics with the music, and then perform the music. The performance will be done with a microphone (like X-Box Live uses). You'll sing the song in its entirety, then Naomi Judd, a rude British guy, and an Irish woman covered in soccer balls will tell you how awful the song was. If you create a good filk, then you never have to play this game again. Trust me: that's a reward. BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

Final Fantasy Combat By CB007 When I first saw early reviews for FF Tactics, I heard it described as a FF Game completely focused on battles. Later, of course, I found out that it was a tactical RPG. But the initial picture I had in my head was of a game using the traditional ATB system (FF4-FF6 style in particular), with modifications, in a game focused on challenging battles. 2D graphics would be the most interesting to me, but that has nothing to do with the gameplay, really. Imagine going up against such bosses as Rubicant, Leviathan, Zeromus, Magimaster, Atma, Sephiroth, etc. without dealing with random enemies or boring dungeons, and an increased level of difficulty. Of course, I wouldn't want to see a bunch of old bosses reused with new attacks. There could be some cameos, but the goal would be to have new bosses with varying tactics, and a fairly high difficulty level. I'd think such a thing could work with enough changes to keep things interesting. Such a game would be quite linear, of course, probably with no overworld map at all... So you'd see a story scene, have a chance to buy some new equipment perhaps, then have a major battle. There'd have to be some way to customize characters, or vary your party to increase strategy. Possibly a FF5 style class system, where you have one useable character per class. But traditional level ups might not work very well in this format. A system would be required where you couldn't just overpower enemies, and would have to use some real planning. Some battles might be restricted to certain classes to make things harder or more interesting. And it'd be important to make sure none of the classes are too overpowered. Maybe you could just get a certain number of points to distribute to your characters' stats at certain points during the story, or after each successful battle. Whether you've used the character in the past wouldn't matter... everyone would get the same number of points. Letting you use new characters in every battle without worrying about getting them as strong as the others. I'd be worried about things getting repetitive too quickly without some really creative bosses. And major changes to the battle system might be required in the end. But the idea still sounds kinda interesting to me. BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

Final Fantasy Football By Bomberguy221 Well, in thinking of this title, two ideas came to mind. The suggested one: Pit all of your favorite characters from the Final Fantasy games in a game of tackle football. Avalanche vs. Returners? Cecil vs. Sabin? Barret vs... Relm? O_o;; The downsides to this game is that, like many fanfictions that attempt to cross over certain characters, the game makes little sense. Not to mention that the female characters aren't worth the paper their official art is printed on, and the people who prefer the older games will most likely destroy any copy they get their hands on. But nobody really blames them. And the other one: An angst-ridden coach gathers a band of unlikely teammates into a football team. On their way to the Super Bowl, they face whimsical adventures, evil opponents, and attempt to save the world during Halftime before winning the cup. The downsides to this game, of course, is that each football game is just like the last, there is a very complicated summoning system where you must summon a player from leave only when trading another player (unless you have enough money to do otherwise, or you're wearing a certain accessory) and while putting another player on leave in his place, and the angst-ridden coach looks like a male Jennifer Lopez. Oh yeah, and they attempt to release FFXFL, but it bombs because there aren't enough FMVs of the cheerleaders. Which do you prefer, #1 or #2? I know they're both stupid, so I've included a third option: Square, wanting to branch out, makes a football game. Hilarity ensues. BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

Gigli the Video Game: Bennifer's Revenge By James Torrance In this game, you play as either Jennifer Lopez or Ben Affleck as you compete to see who can make the worst movie. At the same time, you'll be trying to save your fake Hollywood romance. As J-Lo, you have to do jumping jacks for an hour and 20 minutes straight. As Ben Affleck, you try to save Pearl Harbor from being destroyed by a giant asteroid, but your memory is erased and you forget that it's going to happen. But you've left yourself six items that can save the world, if you figure out what to do with them. It turns out that the six items have the power to transform you into a blind ninja! If you get the good ending, Ben and J-Lo get married, but the wedding is interrupted by a hurricane and everyone is blown away. BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

Ice Climbers Advance By Bobispie This game is like the classic Ice Climbers for the NES, except this has a little bit better graphics. It is a side scroller, you have to fight monsters and bosses. I also have another idea for a full 3-D version of Ice Climbers. I think that would be pretty cool. BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

Jack Thompson: Ace Attorney By Bomberguy221 In this game, you try to get the game "Jack Thompson: Ace Attorney" banned for teaching children how to be bad human beings. You do this by exaggerating how evil you are, making childish insults to the opposition, and stating that any people who question your behavior are crazy and on the opposite side themselves. You win when you get your own ESRB rating up to AO. You lose if you lose your license to practice law. Or, well, since that means that the evil game didn't win, you win. No, wait, hold on... Uh, um, er... It has good graphics. BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

Joementum: Lieberman's Revenge By James Torrance This is the exact same game as Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, only now you play as Senator Joe Lieberman, and instead of beating up civilians, you are trying to destroy all copies of the real Grand Theft Auto games as well as other Teen and Mature-rated games. After running around to every store in town and successfully burning or smashing every mature and teen-rated game in existence, your mission will be to infiltrate Rockstar Games's headquarters and beat up all its employees. The final boss is the President of Rockstar Games. During your mission, you'll also be campaigning for President, so you'll have to be careful to have enough voters by the end of the game to win.

Keg Party 3D By Kairobi King In this game, you are a teenager trying to get to a keg party. You've been selected by your peers to bring a keg to the party. First, you have to get a fake ID so that the clerk at the liquor store will sell you a keg of beer. Then you have to get the keg of beer to the party destination. You stand on top of it and roll it down the street. So it's kind of like the Midas River level in Super Mario RPG. Once you get to the Keg Party, you get to play games "Spin the Bottle" and "Bobbing for Apples". You also get drunk and throw up on people and avoid getting thrown up on yourself.

Lunar: Ultra Silver Star Story Complete Final Cursed Princess Edition By CB007 Exactly the same story and gameplay as the PSX edition, but with four extra lines of dialogue and some new mini-games. And a 300 page hardcover manual with hand made cloth map!!! BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

Mars Patrol By jup The long awaited sequel to Moon patrol, where you control a slightly futuristic (like in a year or two) Mars Rover in a fight for it's existance. As it turns out, the discovery of underground water has also churned out some rather nasty lifeforms that would like to eat the Rover. As the remote pilot, it's your job to use the Rover's more offensive devices to fight off these hungry predator aliens and drive the Rover to a safe place, (Some plot of land that is lethal to the little buggers, yet totally safe to your Earth technology.) before it runs out of it's daily energy reserves. (Recharge over a short cycle, then go to the next stage for some more exploration...and danger.) Unlike most other games, you only get two lives (instead of the common three) per game. And, as stages add up, it gets harder and harder to locate those stage ending safe zones. Or, play this game in multi-player and have both Rovers tag team a zone to really keep those enemies from mounting a surprise attack. BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

Michael Jackson 3D By ErniePants and Magnus Crowe You play as a little boy trying to escape the Never Land ranch in an FPS game. You have to find stuff for weapons, like rocks and slingshots, and throw them at Llamas, monkeys, and other animals that get in your way. Occasionally, Michael Jackson pops out from behind something and tries to grab your ass, so fend him off as best you can. The sub-stage bosses include Bubbles the Chimp, the Elephant Man's bones (animated as a skeleton), Macauley Culkin, Latoya, and Lisa Marie Presley. At the end of each major stage, you'll fight Michael Jackson in one of his many forms, starting with the kid version of MJ when he was with the Jackson Five, and ending with a version of how he looks today. There's even a horror-themed stage where the MJ boss morphs into a werewolf. You'll have to defeat MJ by first shooting off his defenses, a la, shooters where you defeat bosses by taking them out piece-by-piece. First, go for the gloves so that he can longer grope at you and damage you, and then his surgical mask to make his face vulnerable to attack and damage. Background music consists of many of MJ's hit songs. The final boss should be a giant robot Michael Jackson that looks like what he looks like now. Each time you damage it enough, the outer shell breaks away revealing another Michael Jackson that looks like his previous incarnation. Then, it keeps going and going like that until the last form is the young MJ from the Jackson Five. BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

Ode Wars 64 By Devilrays The object of the game is to write killer odes. There are several contestants and four ratings - beginner, experienced, expert and Ode Champion. At the beginning, there are six beginners, six experienced writers, three experts, and only one Ode Champion. Play as a beginner (hardest difficulty but easiest to use) as PUDDMANN, DOVEBLOB, ErniePants, JamesfromPokémon, Kefkathe3rd, or TermiteJr. Experienced writers include DEVILRAYS, MiyamotoLover, outcastdeathspork, urobbie, Camira Breen, and DEATHAMSTER. The experts are BJStrykes, SethraShnoo, and Crawland1000. The Ode Champion is, of course, Flying Omelette. All 16 have received notices of a Writing Competition hosted in Bermuda, with the winner getting whatever they want. The Writing Competition actually consists of about 100,000 people of all ages submitting all kinds of writing; however, odes are a new and exciting form of writing and give these 16 writers a good shot at winning. Here is the format: Preliminary - In the prelims, they don't ask for much - just a sample of your writing. It can be about anything; you have to receive a rating of 50 or higher on a scale of 0-100 to get in. It's almost guaranteed that you will get this far, even as a beginner. First elimination - of the 100,000+ writers, only the top 64,000 advance past this round. If you play as FO, the only Ode Champion in the group and the 25th-ranked writer in the field of 100,000+ this stage will be easier for you than if you are a beginner, but you will not receive as many difficulty points in the Hall of Fame. You figure it will take a rating of 70 or higher to advance past this stage. Second elimination - the field of 64,000 is cut in half here; it will probably take a rating of 80 or higher to get to the round of 32 (thousand, that is.) Odes are still exciting and new, so judges will appreciate them more. Tournament round - getting this far guarantees you at least a $2,000 prize. You are placed into one of 1,000 divisions by random draw; you have to write five odes and win every round against progressively more difficult opponents. To win the final match in this round you will almost certainly need a rating of 90 or higher. Win one round and earn $5,000; two rounds for $10,000; 3 for $15,000, 4 for $25,000; escape the Tournament Round, which is no easy feat, and take home a guaranteed $50,000. Championship series - at this point the fact that you are writing odes and not essays or poetry will buy you less with the judges, and you will write three odes and receive a combined rating here. However, of the 1,000 remaining writers, only 200 will survive. You will probably need a combined rating of 280 to escape this round. The prize for advancing beyond this round is $100,000. Four-player series - in this round you are grouped with three other writers via another random draw; you must receive the highest rating in your group, which could easily need to be above 95. In the event of a tie, you will need to write another ode. There is a $200,000 pot for escaping this round. Five-player series - just like the four-player series except that there are five players. There still can be ties; a rating of 97 will almost certainly be necessary. The prize for advancing past this round is $500,000. Semifinal - of the ten final contestants, only two will be selected from the field. You will get nothing extra for the fact that you're writing odes; in fact, others have turned to this form of writing. You will need to write two odes; your combined rating will be taken, and in the event of a tie, whoever has the highest single-ode score of their best ode will advance. A one-ode playoff will be used only if absolutely necessary. The prize for advancing beyond this round is a guaranteed $1,000,000. Championship - it's you and another writer, perhaps Flying Omelette. If you make it this far you are guaranteed Ode Champion rating unless, by some fate, you face Flying Omelette here. You will write three odes here; your first, second, and third odes will be tallied separately in a series. Your highest-rated ode will be compared to your opponent's highest-rated ode; then the second-highest will be compared. If a tiebreak is necessary, the third-highest will be compared.

Pocket Fighter RPG By Pokejedservo For those who don't know what "Pocket Fighter" is, it's a 2D-chibi styled fighting game from Capcom. Its a HIGHLY comical fighter with Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Ibuki, Zangief, Dan, Akuma from the Street Fighter games with Morrigan, Felicia and Hsien-Ko from Darkstalkers. (Along with Tessa from Warzards.) It features cameos from a LOT of other various Capcom games as well. Now what about a silly RPG based on this? It can feature characters from ALL of the Capcom franchises and the humor this game could use is absolutely plentiful. While it may seem strange seeing more serious stuff like Devil May Cry and Chaos Legion in this but this could make good dark comedy like how Darkstalkers would. Considering how Capcom has a good mix of more lighter-weight material and more darker it can also give the humor a nice mix as well. I'm still thinking on the gameplay style and official storyline, but all I can say is that this could probably be the "Disgaea" of Capcom if you know what I mean. BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

Pokemon Snape! By Bomberguy221 In this game, you play as Professor Severus Snape from Hogwarts trying to capture all (however many there are now) Pokemon. To do this, you throw potions at them to knock them out or do other strange things to them. The more Pokemon you catch, the more points Gryffindor loses. You win when you catch all the Pokemon and Gryffindor has to take out a point loan from Hufflepuff just to keep their heads above water. BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

Project "Got Ham?" Racing By Emperor Darkham This is a racing game set in a perfect future world. The game plays much like F-Zero, but instead of a normal race track, in the future, there are different kinds of ham scattered about the track. These give your vehicle a speed boost when you come in contact with them (the outside of your vehicle is made up of nano-machines designed to turn ham into energy when they come into contact with the ham). For each ham you run into, you get one boost. But all is not what it seems. You have to watch out for the dark ham (burned ham) which will slow down your car and take away one of your earned boosts. As you progress into the higher difficulties, the dark ham will outnumber the regular, and at speeds of a zillion miles per second, it'll be hard to tell which ham is what. Of course, I don't have any trouble at all, but I've studied ham all my life, especially in my efforts to defeat the Deimos. Ah, the Deimos. I hate those bastards so much. I think it's be nice if we could destroy them... HUH? Oh, yeah, right, I was telling you about the game. The winner of the race will receive a lifetime supply of Darkham brand ham. Of course, it's only a videogame, so you won't actually get any real ham, but your character will have lots of it. There's a minigame where you can eat the ham that you win. When going through the game's menus, the cursor is in the shape of ham. BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

Sex on the Beach Sim By da dick In the cocktail-mixing sim/arcade game, you play as a Tom Cruise lookalike which mixes cocktails. Other than choosing the ingredients before you do the mixing, the game engine pretty much imitates a para-para machine, with endlessly irritating trance remixes of "Kokomo" by Beach Boys.

Skeeball 3D: Grand Tournament of Champions By James Torrance A videogame version of skeeball! You play to earn tickets to win lotsa junk! You can either buy lots of little junk, or save up for one big hunk o'junk. And the best thing about this game is that it will be loaded with CHOCOLATELY GOODNESS!! BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

Skies of Arcades By Bomberguy221 Giant machines with Pac-Man and Frogger in them crash to the ground, and you have to dodge the hailstorm. The final boss is a DDR machine. BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

Street Driver: Turbo Engine Revival By Bomberguy221 I think Capcom should take a page from Konami and Nintendo's books and make a racer featuring some of their characters. More specifically, the characters from Street Fighter. You can pick up Hadokens to use on other drivers, and steal other weapons with a Hundred Hand Slap. Dhalsim would naturally drive a rubber band car. BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

Super Tossed Salad Bros. By James Torrance This is the sequel to Potato Salad 64. In it, you play as two brothers tossing salads in a restaurant.

Hit people in the face - Minus 10 points Make it to the table - Plus 10 points Score a direct hit on the plate - Plus 20 points Miss the table completely - Minus 10 points And don't forget that you have to squirt the salad dressing across the room, too and try to land it on top of the salad, and you have to try to get exactly as much dressing as the customer wants.

Hidden characters include: A Bean from Puyo-Puyo. The Top Hat from Hatris. A Cookie from Yoshi's Cookie. The Letter "Q" from Wordtris. The final boss is Alexey Pazhitnov. Winning the game with all characters, including the hidden ones, unlocks a special mode where you can change the colors of your blocks. BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

The Adventures of Justin Timberlake By Junus Crowe In this game, you play as Justin Timberlake in his many 3D adventures. You run around various cities, grabbing women's shirts and ripping them off. The scoring system works like this: 1. Grab a woman's shirt and pull it off: 100 points 2. Grab a woman's shirt and it doesn't come off: -100 points 3. Grab a woman's shirt and pull it off along with the bra: 200 points. 4. Grab a woman's shirt and pull it off and it turns out "she's" a transvestite: -200 points. Your ultimate goal is to climb a 33-story tower where Janet Jackson is having a concert on the roof, and rip all her clothes off. Then you escape via helicopter, a la James Bond at the end of Goldeneye. BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

The Dark Tower RPG By CB007 This is a pretty goofy thing to post, but I can actually imagine much of the Dark Tower story in traditional RPG format. The weapons would have to remain the same or very limited throughout the game for obvious story reasons, but your gunslingers could get more skilled in their use as they level up. Roland would start out being able to dual wield, but would lose that ability after the incident with those lobstrocities. A Chrono Trigger style fighting system... Eddie, Jake, and Susannah would have different fighting styles... maybe there could be combo attacks between different characters, and very powerful attacks where all attack together. And Oy would be one of those characters that does random things in battle like healing, like Nall in Lunar. You'd start off controlling Roland solo, and get new party members as you went on. First Jake (temporary), then Eddie. Then you'd have Susannah join after doing some quests and joining her personalitites... and a while later Jake would become a permanent party member (after controlling him solo until he reaches Mid World) and they'd find Oy shortly thereafter, completing the party. Callahan would be a temporary party member for part of the story, under AI control. At different times, the characters would have to separate into different groups, and you'd play their scenarios in the order of your choice. While the parts of the story taking place in our world might seem out of place in an RPG, it wouldn't be unprecedented. And Mid-World is a pretty good fantasy setting and would work well, I think, in videogame format. I'd imagine the game with a more realistic graphics style (not superdeformed, cel shaded, etc.), along the lines of Final Fantasy X or KOTOR. BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

The Existential Bad Guy Wins By da dick In the game you play a Luc-clone (from Suikoden III). It plays like Valkyrie Profile, but instead of collecting heroes and training them, you're collecting badguys who are full of existential angst, and they randomly give irrelevent philosophical comments. The goal of the game is to destroy the world (including yourself) just because you're full of angst...and you're supposed to be a badguy. The surprise ending is that you manage to destroy the world (or at least all life on it) w/o killing yourself, and spend the rest of your days angsting some more and playing Legacy of Kain. Includes a total of 30 minutes of CG cutscenes which mostly show the anti-heroes angsting and brooding and staring at each other with yaoi-sexually-suggestive tension. BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

The Far Side Game By Pero the Cat This one of those games like Dragon's Lair or Myst in which you have to figure out what to do in each room, but each room is based on a Far Side comic. Like, in one, you're a cow inside a giant cowball. And in another, you're a spider scaring the webbing out of another spider. BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

The Hidden BFG (!!!!!) By da dick This game is very much like Bushido Blade with a BIG twist. You play a samurai who has learnt the esoteric art of the BIG F%^&ING GUN(!!!!) from the super-duper-humble master Tarantino. Other than the usual boring sword techs you can execute, you also use super badass-gangsta-super-stylin' moves to put da smack down on da damn bitch who opposes you!!!! Your most deadly move is enraging your enemies by fighting like a pussy, and then blowing their face to bloody bits when you unleash your BIG F%^&ING GUN!!!! ((!!!!!!) for added melodrama) BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

The Oo-La-La Warriors of Fame By da dick Based on a 70s movie, this action adventure game allows you to dance through the streets of ghetto super stylin' and beat anyone who have cooler moves than thou (or just because). Earn superfuntime rainbow points (magic points) by doing super sweet dance combos in various scenarios (and just beat the crap outta random boring heteros), and use the rainbow points to make your opponents sing and squirt multi-coloured blood when you defeat them (again by totally knocking em out with your super-stylin' or just regular knocking up). Other super duper sweet moves you can do with rainbow points include: The paint the town purple dance Summoning Lucy and the sky diamonded with lacy decorations Spank leprechauns Fart yourself a cute wittle pony outta ya ass and many many more more more!!! You can also do stuff like stealing boomboxes from evil b-boys by turning your analog schtick round and round and round and weeeeee!!! erm... The b-boys would go into a trance and drop their pants and boomboxes so you can sell em to the soul garden gnome and buy yourself gummy bears (heal item). BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

The Truth Shall Set You Free By Bomberguy221 In this game, you play as a young, feminine-looking boy named Dento. Why? I don't know, it's probably based on mythology or something. Anyway, Dento is on a quest to find the truth. He'll meet many whimsical friends, like a thief, a lawyer, and a politician. The battle system is really interesting... Enemy: Ready to die, mortals? Thief: Actually, you don't fight us. You just give us your money and experience points. Enemy: ...Is that so? Politician: Yeah! I'll take you to golf if you do. Enemy: Okay! *gives money and exp.* If you manage to beat the game, then you get the truth. The ending is like Earthbound, in the sense you get to walk around and talk to everyone. You get to see who was lying to you. Dento: Did I really need new brake fluid? Auto worker: Nope! I just wanted to overcharge you. Thief: Does Santa really exist? Mother: No. I just said that to keep you in line. Thief: Psh, yeah, that worked! Lawyer: Are we getting dressed up for Halloween this year? Co-worker: Not at all. However, you're welcome to come in your pajamas so we can belittle and demean you. Lawyer: ...I'll pass. Dento: Did you put that wrestling cartoon on your schedule just to introduce the idea of homosexuality to your young viewers? FOX: Absolutely. Politician: Did you really think that "Game Over" was an original idea? Team-VZQ: Yeah. Just not ours. Thief: Why haven't you seen Casablanca yet? FO and Crawl: We don't like watching good movies.* Dento: Is Bomberguy going to get flamed for this game idea? Lawyer: Probably. At least there aren't multiple endings in this game. *NOTE: Subjective answers can still be lies. BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

Tornado Wrestling By SETZERtheGREAT In this game, you attempt to ride tornadoes and wrestle them to the ground. You can choose to play as a cowboy, a ninja, a surfer, a robot, and a cow. You can play one of two modes: In the first mode, you try to wrestle the tornado away from houses, other buildings, farms, trailer parks, and other such properties. In the second mode, you ride the tornado and purposefully try to destroy those things for points. BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

Transformers Shmup By SethraShnoo I'm not as into Transformers as some of you guys are, but I think a Transformers 'shmup could be neat. You'd have to play as one of the flying guys. I'm not sure if there are any Autobot jets, but maybe you could choose to play as either an Autobot or Decepticon. I think it should have both overhead and sidescrolling levels, a la, Life Force or Axelay. Imagine one of the bosses being a Gestalt. It starts off in its five different pieces, then as you damage them, they morph together to form the single huge boss! Transforming would, of course, be a big part of the game. Sometimes, it would be more advatageous to be in robot form than jet form, and you have to figure out when it's best to switch. Maybe you'd have better defense as a jet, but better firepower as a robot. Or the jet form may be able to take certain paths that the robot form cannot and vice versa. Powerups would be in the form of Energon. Collect enough energon for stronger weapons and shields and stuff. BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

VA Fighter By Pokejedservo Here is a new twist on fighting games: A comical one starring... VOICE ACTORS! Yes you heard me Voice Actors! They battle each other using the various abilities of their various roles. Whether the attacks be regular to Super Special attacks and even regular/combo attacks (like Pocket Fighter). Of course not EVERY VA will be able to be a playable characters due to only doing a small/moderate amount of VA work. (Though there is always various cameos and the like.) Character Roster will be the likes of Frank Welker, Scott McNeil, Mark Hamill, Cam Clarke, Rob Paulsen, Jim Cummings, Tara Strong, Jennifer Hale, Brian Drummond, Keith David, Steven Jay Blum, Crispin Freeman and more. It has quite the possibilies of being quite a different little treat towards Animation fans wouldn't you say? (And the potential extras such as Bios and the like would be intresting as well.)

Weapons of Mass Destruction 3D By ErniePants In this 3D platformer, you play as President George W. Bush, and you have to run around collecting WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION! Look everywhere for those WMD's, including, under tables, under couch cushions, in garbage cans, subway tunnels, under beds, in your daughter's empty beer cans, gym lockers, swimming pools, sock drawers, ...those WMD's could be just about ANYWHERE! You must collect enough WMD's to beat the boss at the end of each level. Some of the bosses include Saddam Hussein, John Kerry, Al Gore, Michael Moore, Bill O'Reilly, and Osama Bin Laden. Each victory over a boss will let you go to another country to look for more WMDs, including the USA, France, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Japan, and, ultimately, the Moon. Watch out for attacks from car bombers and angry war protestors, and be careful not to fall off your mountain bike. BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

Where's Saddam Hussein? By Junus Crowe This is like a Where's Waldo? game, except you have to find Saddam Hussein instead of Waldo. Look for him on or in farms, beaches, caves, cities, streets, shopping malls, and other crowded places. Find Saddam Hussein 10 times and you'll unlock the second part of the game where you have to find the Weapons of Mass Destruction. And in the final, super-tough stage, you have to find Osama Bin Laden. BACK TO GAME IDEA LIST

Wild West Gambler RPG By SETZERtheGREAT and Bomberguy221 I think it would be a cool idea for an RPG to have a Gambler/Gunfighter in the Wild West for a main character. The game could be set up in a chapter system. Each chapter has a different main goal and side quests. Like, one chapter could be stopping outlaws from robbing a train. I'm not sure what the battle system would be like, but I think timed hits would be a necessary inclusion, due to the gunfighting nature of the story. Some boss battles could be high noon stand-offs. Since it's an RPG, you can still explore around and look for buried gold and stuff. You'll win money by gambling and rustling up outlaws for the reward money. There could even be multiple paths, where in one scenario, you become an outlaw yourself, or you become the sherriff. There could be a really cool stats system that could go with this: Spade - Attack (How many shots do you need to take out an enemy?) Heart - Health/Defense (How many shots can you take before you die?) Club - Luck (How often do you hit your targets? How often do you get the upper hand in gambling games?) Diamond - Skill (How often do your enemies miss? How unlucky are the other players/house in gambling games?) The last two might be questionable, since aim should be determined directly by the player and not by stats. Still, it's been a while since we've had a western game... A long while.
