My idea for an all new console beat em up; UK Drunken Pub Brawler.
The Storyline: Your characters name is 'Gaz' and after being expelled from every school you have ever set foot in, you have embarked on a career as a drunken pub brawler. After conquering the local bars in Gravesend, you are cordially invited to take part in the prestigious UK event, travelling around the country(ies) in an attempt to claim the title of UK Drunken Pub Brawling Champion. A title at this time held by the mysterious fighter known only as 'Chopper'.
The rules are simple; Fight using any means available to you against an opponent who is equally intoxicated, while a bevy of your mates hold your pint for you. If you win, you get to down the Bonus Drink, absorbing the drunken power of your vanquished foe.
The Characters/Levels are as follows:
Level 1: Dave the Nutta/Basildon.
Fighting Style: Simian Knuckle Drag.
Bonus Drink for this level is a pint of Stella.
Dave the Nutta fights out of the car park for the Lamb and Flag. Surrounded by Novas, you brawl in the glow of Fluorescent pink headlamps, while some phat Jungle pumps out of the back of a lowered Escort van with tinted windows . Dave the Nutta has a dangerous 'Double Sovereign Combo' that can leave you dazed, leaving attack open from his enraged woman Sharon the Heffa.
Level 2: Rory the Cyclepath/Cambridge.
Fighting Style: Obnoxious Swagger Technique .
Bonus Drink for this round is a Snake Bite and Black.
Rory fights on the Stairs outside Footlights, a trendy foppy bar full of student types. A Cambridge graduate himself, Rory paired up his love for sports and copious drinking into one face mashing exercise. While crusties look on, hoping for some spare change to be dropped in the fray, Rory use his Rubber Handbook attack, knocking his already wasted opponents out with this gargantuan science reference material.
Level 3: Seaside Sal/Great Yarmouth.
Fighting Style: Drunken Hippo/Screaming Seagull combination.
Bonus Drink: Melon Bacardi Breezer.
The only female entry you'll come across (yak yak) on the UK drunken brawler crawl, Seaside Sal (sometimes referred to as 'The Beast form the East Coast') is a formidable opponent. Fighting out of the Reef night-club, Sal will usually start off with a barrage of moves from her Screaming Seagull repertoire, in an attempt to render you senseless on your feet. If this works, beware a sudden pram rush from her mates hidden in the crowd. If this fails, she will use the Drunken Hippo style. Be particularly wary of the Flying Lummox Slam and what ever the result of the action, you'll be lucky to escape her Crab Attack without requiring medical assistance.
Level 4: Old Harry Ferret/The Yorkshire Dales
Fighting Style: Outraged Old Timer
Bonus Drink: Old Speckled Hen
This seemingly outclassed fighter should be under-estimated at your peril, Old Harry has been doing the rounds for years and is still going strong in the glamorous scene of Pub Brawling. Fighting out of The Copper Kettle, Harry will attempt to stun you with stories about going to school wearing a sack and not eating for two weeks and not complaining about it either. His more aggressive moves include the Scruff if the Neck Sling and the Twisted Ear Yank, but most dangerous of all is the Walking Stick Shin Bash, which has left many a youngster wincing all the way home.
Level 5: Terry the Scouser/Liverpool
Fighting Style: The Cop end Bounce
Bonus Drink: Red Stripe
Moving into the higher echelons of the UK league now, Terry the Scouser brings Northern fighting passion to the arena for the first time. Fighting out of The Mersey Warfe, Terry attacks with unbridled vigor while screaming 'You'll Never Walk Again' over and over. His dangerous Wet Perm Whip move has left many a man with gel poisoning and temporary blindness, often followed up with a Stolen Hub Cap Smash.
Level 6: Craig Sound/Manchester
Fighting Style: Mad for it Monkey Kung Fu
Bonus Drink: Vodka and Red Bull
Craig is the number one contender to Choppers title of UK Pub Brawling Champion and will test your brawling abilities to the limit. Fighting out of the UMIST SU bar, Craigs unorthodox style will leave you flailing wildly at empty air as he minces about, limbs flying about and shaking maracas while shouting 'Eh, Sound' a lot. His tight eighties style tracksuit makes it almost impossible to get a hand hold on his stick like frame and he'll almost always counter your throw attack with his Twisting Your Melon choke hold. He may well use his Arrogant Talk special attack, in which he rattles of such utter rubbish that you attack rashly and are caught out with a swift Bez Backbreaker.
Final Level: Chopper/Glasgow
Fighting Style: The Highland Fling
Bonus Drink: MacEwans Export
No information on Choppers fighting style is available, as no-one has ever brawled with him and been able to speak about it afterwards. Sufice to say that he is a deranged psycho loonie who attacks with the ferocity of a starving, cornered and injured Tiger. If you are triumphant here then you can truly call yourself The UK Pub Brawling Champion.

i'm sure being bottled in the head is nothing in comparision to whats being released these days, i'd rather beat a few people with my trusted pool cue rather than be armed with every legal weapon then blast every person in my sights until they have so many holes through them, they could be mistaken as colinders.
A simple street fighter game would be a good idea and I doubt, although it's loosly based on real life it wouldn't encourage people to follow in the games character's footsteps.

Thanks people, glad you liked it. Can't see it being taken up by many software houses though; While its okay to beat your adversary to a pulp in a fighty game, I'm sure that having the characters blasted out of their skulls at the time would be somewhat frowned upon.
You won! well done, maybe you should present the idea to a software company.
This would without doubt be the best and funniest beat-em-up ever!
Thats a good idea, i can see many kids trying to follow in the footsteps though + a kid that rebelious from gravesend? LOL! + those Bonus drink sare pretty manly drinks, "i'll have a small glass of speckled hen please mate" he he, I can imagine it now.......
