Rev Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 10 brand new game ideas. I don't think there are really that many "new" gameplay ideas that haven't already been done. But yes, new games could be done. I have a few new games I've been pondering. Getting them done is another thing. But not impossible.

freewheel Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I don't think there are really that many "new" gameplay ideas that haven't already been done. I don't mean new genres. I just wish we had a few more Piggy Banks and a few less clones and ports of stuff that already exists in 400 formats. Or yet another minor hack of a kinda mediocre early 80s game. Some new characters. Some new stories. Just something new for a change. It seems like the homebrew scene here is maybe 10% new. And yes, I'm just as guilty as anyone for trying to remake stuff 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KylJoy Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 10 brand new game ideas. Hmmmm... Well, Here goes giving away one of my game concepts... Years ago I started making a game (yeah, right) that I was going to call "Arctic Safari" where the protagonist beat baby seals to death with a club and killed them with other various weapons to collect pelts and meat. You needed the meat to live and as you progressed you could buy better weapons with the money you got from the pelts: club with a spike, mace, chainsaw, shotgun... You get the idea. I never got it off the ground. This was a decade or more pre-"Postal". Also, as you progress, the mama seals come after you. Later there were walruses and polar bears... Oh my! It was going to be multiplayer and you could choose to attack the other player or work together as a team. But there would always be separate scores to irritate you into killing each other. There would be bear traps and other things that would work on the animals OR the other player. There would be wildlife activists trying to stop you with any means necessary that you could choose to murder, err, disuade, but that would set the rangers after you. One player could choose to be an activist protecting the seals and other animals. Never completely figured out the gameplay for that last bit. Someone make this. I'll executive produce.

+KylJoy Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Another idea... How about a Ren and Stimpy game? It could be based on the "Don't Whiz on the Electric Fence" game, Log, Powdered Toast Man, Happy Helmet stuff... PLEASE MAKE THIS!!! LOL I'll executive produce. Edit: The Nerve Ending Fairy has to be in it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Heroin Castle. It's pretty much Thunder Castle, but the only magical item is a heroin filled syringe and despite sufficient chasing you never actually catch the dragon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 10 new game ideas for Intv. I just thought of these as i wrote them. Feel free to make them anyone: 1. A frying pan game where you control a spatula and try to keep all the little food characters in the pan. 2. A new music game loosely based on piano hero. Match the piano keys as they come down. Plenty of great 8-bit music. 3. Earthquake game. Your view is a large city skyline with an array of different bldgs. An earthquake hits and shatters tons of windows. Go against a timer trying to replace broken windows. You control a little man that climbs the bldgs. Birds and other obstacles try and prevent you from doing job. 4. Treasure digger. You control a guy eith a shovel. Visit various exotic locations excavating the ground looking for treasures. Race.against timer trying to rsck up points. Various critters and rocks prevent you from winning a huge score. 5. Mountain climber. Control a guy climbing a mountain. 2d side view. Scrolling screen. Elements and nature against you. Reach the top of the mountain. 6. Cave explorers. You control 3 explorers. Going into the dark caverns. In search of gold and treasure. You control the all 3 guys atm once. Making jumps and avoiding death. If first guy dies then you control next guy in line. 7. A "choose your own adventure" style text game. Read through the story with occasional graphic to enhance gameplay. 8. A skateboard 2d game. 2d ramps and other skateboard arenas. Couldd also go through a town jumping obstacles. Etc. Etc. 9. Snow blaster. You control a kid with a water gun in his backyard shooting the falling snowflakes. Starts easy. Gets harder in later levels. Must shoot all flakes. If you miss too many the green grass turns white and you lose. 10. A sim city type game. Build your city and maintain it to see grow. (Not that original but hey what do ya want!) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Spear Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Definitely the way to go. Redoing a game that exists somewhere else is cool. Doing something new is much cooler. Think about the top-n games on the Intellivision from its history. How many are ports from other systems, how many exist on other systems at all- few to none. One of many things that makes the Intellivision unique is the game catalog overall. The VCS is memorable due to popular ports of stuff that existed everywhere else (Space Invaders, Asteroids, etc). The Inty is memorable because of Microsurgeon, AD&D, Astrosmash, B-17 Bomber, etc. While game genres are basically "done", I would go for an original take on something, even if it resembled another game, before I would look at a port that was sculpted to fit the Intv capabilities. It's not that I don't respect porter skills - I love Boulderdash and that is the current go-to game with the kids - but if I have to choose between $70 for that and $70 for an original title, I will go original first. 10 brand new game ideas. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fushek Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 10 brand new game ideas. This this and this. Intellivision is great for the unique games that it introduced. And I'll add three letters R P G ! If I didn't suck at programming, I'd do it myself! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Parappa the Rapper Rampage T&C Surf Designs I also like the idea of a Choose Your Own Adventure. Regarding new themes, I'm a science guy and would love to see: 1. A space exploration game where you travel in space for part of the game, but also explore surface/subsurface worlds seeking artifacts and battling aliens (the bad ones). Worlds could be desert, ice, water, volcanic, etc until the last one....which is Earth...650,000 years ago! 2. Something involving Time Travel. Lots of possibilities here. 3. Dinosaurs. Sweet. 4. Evolution. Maybe like a Sim game, or possibly something where you borrow DNA/genetic attributes from the characters/enemies you encounter to improve yourself.
