Neversoft have perfected the art of making one game, and suddenly using it to make trillions. Well, what if some other gaming franchises found alternative uses for their engines?

Super Mario Sunshine - Nintendo could use the paint storyline to substitute in new characters. Perhaps Super Rolf Harris Sunshine, or even Lawrence Llewellyn-Bowen Sunshine! Of course, there'd be the drawback of the hideous noises they'd make whilst jumping...

Time Crisis - instead of always shooting terrorists, perhaps Namco could use this engine to create a few extra games. Maybe a World Darts Championship tie-in with a light-gun?

Rez - could use their trippy visual model for other games...ideally something like Toe Jam and Earl. As if talking R & B twiglets wasn't enough, imagine them melting into the scenery whilst trance music blares from the speakers.

Championship Manager - with their exciting and extensive engine, they could monopolize other areas, for example travel agency databases. Picking out a holiday for the family, in full textular glory, with up to 9 possible destinations available to choose from at once!

WWE Smackdown - with its vast array of men wearing very little, this engine could be used for tonnes of games. Diving, swimming, underwear modelling, or even Ron Jeremy's Arena Tour: The Game!

NHL Hitz - with the stunning mix of speed and protective padding, Midway could whip up an Ice-Skating simulation with ease. Recreate those special Torville and Dean moments, complete with Rob Zombie soundtrack and impromptu fights!

Crazy Taxi - working closely along the lines of Neversoft, we could see dozens of games. Crazy Bike, Crazy Scooter, Crazy Wheelchair, Crazy Pram, Crazy Tuk-Tuk...

House of the Dead - the on-rails graphical engine could be put to a few other uses. Imagine the fun you had with Pokemon Snap...and now add zombies, all vying for a chunk of your brains! Photography made fun by the undead!

Tycoon - this series has already started to get the idea with Rollercoasters, Trains and even Zoos...but what about Zebra Crossing Tycoon? Great Cambridge Roundabout Tycoon? Public Toilet Tycoon? Mr Blair could have competition with these fully licensed local council games!

Go on then, post your ideas!
