Okay, it's been a while since I've been inspired enough to write a game idea, but this is a true gem.
The game would sell thousands of copies on it's title alone, Truckin' Monkeys.
It would be a cross country race in huge articulated lorries. And the drivers would be monkeys.
Different monkeys would be selectable, chimpanzees, apes, gorillas, orangutans, baboons, howler monkeys, spider monkeys, and any other monkey you can thing of. Each monkey would have a particular skill, for instance the orangutans would be able to punch other truckin' monkeys if they were side by side, like in that movie with Clint Eastwood, "Right turn Clyde" he used to say.
Other special monkey attacks are the moon of the baboon, the sonic squeal of the howler monkey, and the pounding of the chest of the mighty ape. All have different effects on your opponents truck, to help give you the advantage.
Not only is this a game of monkey driving skill, it also features a wonderful tactical side to it. In the back of your truck, you see, are more monkeys, and they do stuff too. You can command your chimps to eat bananas, and throw the skins onto the road. Everyone knows what happens when huge articulated lorries his a banana skin, then spin on the spot!
There are other such things in the back of the truck that can be used to give you the advantage in the race, but they're only useful when ahead. That's why there's a super fast quad bike in the back of the truck too. You can command one of the smaller monkeys to ride forward and clear the road of potential dangers, or place banana skins in front of your opponents.
The game would be great in multiplayer, as your friends could either play on your team, each controlling a different monkey in the truck, or against you as drivers, giving only basic orders to the rest of the monkeys.
Also included in te game would be two battle modes, one in which you just drive the trucs around a huge arena, shashing into each other until there's only one left that can still move. The other battle game is a typical beat 'em-up, with the monkeys fighting each other.
Not I defy you not to want this game.
