I have a list of games I would like to make in the future as my website is going to focus on making games based off of Televisions shows of the past I wanted to make something at some point that would appeal to the female game audience as well.

One of the ideas I had was to make a soap opera based game of some kind.

Problem the only two soap opera's I can honestly say I watched in my life was Dallas and Dynasty and even being a guy got to admit I loved Dallas something about JR that was cool.

Anyway I always thought that Dallas and the Ewing oil struggle would make for an interesting game both for male and female players.

It could involve some type of business simulation style aspects where you would acctully run Ewing oil and try to squash your competition

JR could achieve his goals by having to seduce the other CEO's wifes and gain valuable blackmail information to use against the other CEOS and then do a JR style takeover or scheme.

another interesting aspect could be to allow the game to be played two ways depending on your personality or style with both brothers in the title role JR if you want to do it the down and dirty way and bobby if you want to play it straight  but would be more hard to do. 

the storyline where they had to compete for the company after the fathers death could make for a very interesting gameplay as well.
and of course throw in a bunch of family drama and semi adult situratins and you have a soap opera game.

Dallas famous cliff hanger approach would work perfect at the end of levels as well.

Anyway one of my goals was to make games off old movies and tv shows and keep them alive in some way

Does anyone even still remember Dallas or dynasty or any of these shows and is there enough fans around to appreciate such a game?
