Nowadays when playing games , we rarely come across anything that’s truly original. So should the games industry run short of original ideas. How about these for starters*

CRAZY CRAZY SCALEXTRIC RACERS!
The idea is simple. Build your own track from scratch using the pieces given , then when your masterpiece is complete , choose from one of the many cars available and then race away!

Tracks are easily built and take a mere 2 hours to produce! When picking your car , spend time to ensure that it actually works. If it doesn’t , simply jam the ‘Virtual Screwdriver’ inside it! If perhaps you think it’s the track that’s faulty use the same procedure as above , you’ll be up and running in no time!

The game is broken down into a number of challenges. These vary from Time Attacks , to simple endurance races! Can you last 1 lap without hurtling off track into a pile of toys?


CHAMPIONSHIP BOWLS
Fans of the sport will love this realistic , engrossing simulation! Take control of one of 300 professional bowlers and see if you have what it takes to become a Bowling Master! There are 30 venues with varied terrain , including the beaches of Skeggy and Rotherham’s Town Park!

Championship Bowls offers many unique gaming modes , including Championship , Practice , Free-Bowl and the unique ‘Security Guard Mode’ , this lets you patrol the Bowling Greens at night! Watch out for Dogs and Teenagers who may attempt to wreck the Greens in a unique twist on the ‘Metal Gear Solid’ series!


And Finally…


SPECTATOR : AVOIDER OF HAZARDS
In this unique twist on the sports game , you are taken OUT of the drivers seat , and see the event through the eyes of the spectator! You can watch numerous events , including Rallying and Skateboarding. The aim of the game is simple , attend your desired event and see if you can leave unharmed!

In Rallying you will spend most of your time dodging incoming cars , and seeing if you can avoid your brand new pair of Levis getting harmed from a rally cars dust trails! Skateboarding is a similar game , only this time you must dodge skateboards that fly through the air after a fall. You have plenty of moves at your disposal , from a simple sidestep , to the ‘cover your face to avoid being hospitalized’ manoeuvere. At the end of an event you will be graded on your performance.

So there is a list of what I think are some good ideas. Thanks for reading , and feel free to add some of your own!

* These ideas are utter nonsense , and should be avoided by developers at all costs!

I like the first one, but racing would be a bit easy, you would need to have things miving across the track so you need to stop, and jumps! i spent 2 hours making a working jump in my circuit, in the end my car broke from over endureance, if it was on computer it would work!

Yay! A reply!

I agree , moving stuff across the track would be good , but jumps would be even better!
