Fun game idea

Post by Jeff-20 »

I have an idea.

When I make a game, I often come up with a title first. Then the game follows. So, I thought of something fun. What if someone else makes up the title? And the game is later created to match? I would have a lot of fun making up titles for games I would like to see, games others would make.

So, someone come up with a title for a game you'd like to see.

I have a vague feeling we've had this subject before? Anyway, here are a few random ones popping out of my head:

Operation Starfish
Melinda and the Jellybeans
Super Juggernaut
VIC-Odin (was mentioned before)
Lords of Hyperspace
Cowboy Safari
Great Fat Animals

... ok, enough of junk. Maybe I'll find that previous thread and link to.

Ah, you are right! We did have a similar discussion before... it was a topic started by you... nearly five years ago!
Your fantasy game titles

I was thinking of a "made to order" game service. A title like "Space Bandits" could be almost anything, but "Pancake Wars on Mars" would be a challenge to most designers. :)

Have you seen the Video Game Name Generator ?
  • * Sinister Forklift Crusader
    * The Secret Weapon of the Hammer Extravaganza
    * Impossible Baking of Love
    * Disturbing Frisbee Quiz
    * etc.
TIGSource had a competition to make games based just on the names generated by this tool :lol:

Cool. I just got one random name that is begging to be made: International Puppy Blaster. Something similar to skeet shooting but a mechanism that hurls puppies into the air. Ehrm, perhaps not very popular to play depending whether or not you like dogs.

Working off the "international" part, how about a top down world map with puppies fired from the different countries that you have to defend against? Kind of a cross between Defcon and Missile Command, except with puppies.

Maybe a tad ambitious for a VIC game?

Err.. yes. We'd better add Mutant to the title to explain these are not your typical cute little puppies, but some genetically mutated mutts created by the evil Dr... uh, Woof?

International Mutant Puppy Blaster, and we already have a background story. That was quick!

Spastic Children in Zombie Town

(Idea comes from Metallica's side band in the early 80's called Spastic Children and any game with Zombies is cool :->)



Crumb Suckers Cafeteria Fight

(Idea comes from a 80's punk cross-over band and cafeteria fights are always a good theme for a game :->)

...and why not "Escape from planet of zombie nerd"... it seems to be a "B movie" tie in...
