Jamie and his Magic Tourch, Chorton and the Wheelies, et al...
Also... although they made some dodgy Speccy and C64 games way back when... I'd love to play an A-Team, Knight Rider, Manimal, Automan, etc.. titles?
(although, from what I remeber the C64's Airwolf title was pretty cool?)
:)
police camera action where you could be the police or the criminal in high speed police chases.
the wombles, the truman show, defenders of the earth, I'm sure there are more out there.
Or a game where you take the role of tv station manager and you have to build up a small independant station and build it into a succesful station. There could be ratings wars, scheduling decisions,advertising revenues, the choice to axe well known programmes or inflence the exit of characters on the shows on your station. with the aim to go from a single station to running your own network to an international network.
thinking about it the tv station manager game would be the best idea I have put on here so far, unfortunately my programming skills are limited to some basic fortran 95.
Please somebody reply!
Just think of all of the different things you could do in this game. Use Hannibals skills with disguises to get into anywhere, and speak to everyone.
Build trucks out of scrap metal, and go blow stuff up with them.
The game could take on the form of a FPS when you play out the scenes that usually have loads of shooting in, and people diving from haystacks, away from huge expolsions.
It could play as a beat em-up when you were BA, knocking down any foo' that decided to mess with you.
It could be a driving sim as you cruise with 'Face' picking up classy birds.
The game would also have elements of strategy as you try to get BA onto the 'damn plane', or bust Howling Mad Murdock out of the mental institution.
The overall aim of the game would be to clear the A-Team of the crimes they didn't commit.
And the soundtrack would rock.
You wouldn't be one of the contestants, but a worried network exec trying to get someone to watch. It would be a micro management game where you'd have to come up with the scheduling, hire vagueling interesting presenters and choose which people you'd put on the island.
Note: choosing 16 of the most sneaky and petty people on the country, none of whom anyone whould like to see win £1,000,000 evidently doesn't work. Oh, and choose an island. Harsh but beautiful or maybe... the Isle of White? Have you tried the B&Bs there? They'd be begging to be back on the beach eating bowls of plain rice, I tell ya!
You'd have to deal with the newspapers and try not to get the sack from your boss when the news comes through that you've taken the top ranking US programe and turned it into a damp squib.
If your feeling underhand you could rig the procedings to get rid of the ludicrously annoying "characters" and their stupid to-camera pieces. Release the rats and poke them towards the beach - hahahaha - look at them eat rat! You get bonus points for every time someone says "it tastes like chicken".
Or you could just shoot the person who decided to schedule you against Big Brother 2...
