What if there was some kind of program in the games shop that helped the customer decide the correct choice of game for them. A sort of questionaire on subjects: -
" What games to you prefer? "
A. Strategy
B. Action
C. Fighting
D. Racing
You get the idea, and at the end of it, it will process the information on yourself and decide the correct game for you that they have in stock. I think this is already being done in phone shops so why not in games shops. I am sure it would save a lot of hassle for the gamer and at the end they are not disappointed with their terrible choice of game in the end!
So in you pop, morals abandoned, but Oh no!! you haven't got your copy of NOM with you. So you have to scour the shelves looking for a game you really want, yet you don't really know what's best, but you DO know what sort of games you like.
So with Sheepy's idea, you just go up to a touchscreen console, select N64/Shooters/Single Player/18+....or whatever, and the screen shows you INSTANTLY the list of games you could like, and which are in stock, and how much they cost.
So then you go directly to the shelf where that game you now want is located, pay your £40, and off you go, secure in the knowledege that you've just bought a game that you are pretty much sure to like, because you selected it.
On your way home you can then hand in the £10 note that you got in change to the police station, saying you found it in the street outside SR, and your conscience is then clear.
:-)
Never mind. ;0)
I think the online and mail order aspect of Special Reserve is quite different to the shops... in a shop, you can easily search through hundreds of games, by looking at shelves. The shelves are (probably, anyway) labelled of some sort. Budget, top ten... that sort of thing, different genres may be there too.
...You know, I have completely forgotten what I was going to say.
Damn.
I'm off to another topic.
> So Tony what do you think?
Might as well put the internet in the shop.
Then people could check the weather, enter competitions, find the latest Madonna porn clip, etc etc.
5 games for my idea....:D jk
