Which Game Would You Like To See Made?

PhilRoberts2004 · Mon 19/01/2004 19:57:32

Well...as you know I am back in the AGS community & ready to rock...but now..I have come up with many clever titles but it is hard for me to choose which one will be made first because they are all good. So, please look through these titles & tell me in your reply, one of the titles listed & why it should be made.
**********************************

Gunsmoke
Seinfeld
Back to the Future: Part 4
Family Matters
Thundercats
Inspector Gadget: The Search for Penny
Teddy Ruxpin
3rd Rock from the Sun
Doug
Kenan and Kel
***********************************

Please choose one & tell me why it should be made!

Thank you for your cooperation!

I choose none and suggest you come up with an original idea of your own. Those are all copyrighted names, and most of them would make lousy games anyways. The best AGS games have been original stories, with the exception of a few that had an experienced team of people working on them, which you don't. Even if you could come up with a ripoff of one of those, it would be better than using the original.

I agree. Come up with an original idea and make an amazing game to wow us with. That's a much better idea than a Kenan and Kel game. Plus, this way you won't get sued.

Uhhh...some people have made Simpsons & Indiana Jones games & they HAVE NOT been sued. So, think for a minute...I don't think it is gonna hurt to make a Teddy Ruxpin game to honor the once coolest TV show for little kids...or a Seinfeld game in tribute to the best TV show ever made...or a Thundercats game...but since you think of copyright issues without thinking about people who HAVE made games about characters that were copyrighted, then you obviously are sticking up for them.

My list:
1. Doug

Why:
Because it is a very good title.

Why it should be made:
A game with such a title have good chances of becoming a very good game.

Goldmund · Mon 19/01/2004 20:20:53

They're picking on you, because they're all part of a great conspiracy. Ever wondered why the dollar bill has a pyramid with an eye on it?

As for me, I'd give you my advice; unfortunately, none of the titles say anything to me apart from Inspector Gadget and Back To The Future. Of the two, I favour Gadget, because it had a great tune and the topic of time-travel is for wimps.

EDIT (OT): Hey, Andail, we're so close to each other in this thread! Together again! I give you a brotherly (poisoned) punch.

Well...once again we have to look at COPYRIGHTED BULLCRAP, because Doug is the loveable TV teenager who IS in love with Patty Mayonasse. Other characters include Skeeter Valentine, Roger Klautz, Beebe Bluff, & many more!

Now, I honestly believe that this would be complete ownage if I could only make this game, but sadly I cannot because it is COPYRIGHTED!!!!!

I say go with Teddy Ruxpin because I don't believe you are a real person.

Andail · Mon 19/01/2004 20:41:08

Rodekill, nah you're probably right.

The only problem I have with that is that making the impression of being a silly n00b has been done to death already, and to point at somebody afterwards and say "gosh I really got you didn't I, look how stupidly you all reacted to my posts" must be the lowest form of entertaining so far.

Therefore I really hope it's not a hoax, or that the impersonator just quietly goes away and spare us all of that tada-moment.

Chicky · Mon 19/01/2004 20:43:26

btw if you're making a fan game, aslong as it has no intention to make profit then they cant sue you. Why do you think all these people who make MI fan games dont get sued.

Matt Brown · Mon 19/01/2004 20:43:30

I hardly think that whoever owns Doug, (which I thought was taken off the air when they sold it to Disney or whatver when i was 11), is really going to care too much about a little amutuer adventure gamer making a freeware game about them. We've had people do MI fangames, Zak Fangames, and make enough pop culture references to fill a large book...no lawsuits.

that being said...dont do a game based on a tv show. Invent your idea. its more fun that way

remixor · Mon 19/01/2004 20:50:42

Teddy Ruxpin?

Squinky · Mon 19/01/2004 20:50:52

This list of games proves to me that you are either not real, or you are at least mildly retarded.

Either way, I can't judge you , as I, myself, am a non-real-mildly retarded individual myself. That, and I'm a nympho....

So, I say goes with family matters...

Robert Eric · Mon 19/01/2004 20:54:08

I say you call it "Oldman's Quest", regardless of what it's about.

Eggie · Mon 19/01/2004 20:56:35

Yes.
I doubt you would get sued but don't forget:

YOU ARE NOT A PROFFESIONAL!

I do not mean this as an insult, but as a statement.
Don't take it the wrong way; it's a blessing.

Now, many creative have been subject to their dreams being crushed by big companies who won't let them be imaginative because thinking isn't cost effective.

Now, here's us. The indy scene. We make games that we want and how we want AND WE ARE NOT LIMITED BY ANYBODY.

If you use someone elses idea you lose alot of that freedom. You have to stick within someone elses rules and make sure you don't upset any fans. Which you undoubtably will.

So, change some names, come up with an original plot. Be inspired but at the end of the day do YOUR game. Not someone else's.

...

What was the point of me typing all this out for someone who probably won't listen?...

Hmmmmn...

Meowster · Mon 19/01/2004 20:58:16

Ha ha ha! PhilRoberts, you are funny!!!

I think you should do that Family Matters game! It would be completely awesome! And your sense of humour would surely make it the blockbuster game of the year!!!

Oh man! I can't wait!!!

Squinky · Mon 19/01/2004 20:58:58

You inspired me Eggie.

But I just wanted to point out that I already have dibs on the teddy ruxpin game. And don't you go stealing my idea for the Punky Brewster game either...

Robert Eric · Mon 19/01/2004 20:59:15

Yufster, honey, please shut up.

remixor · Mon 19/01/2004 21:00:20

Hear hear!

MrColossal · Mon 19/01/2004 21:01:18

but phil:

"Torin's Passage 2 won't happen because of copyright issues."

you wrote that yourself so you are also worried about copyright issues so what's the difference? if you make an Inspector Gadget game or a Torin's Passage game you're still using copyrighted characters...

and please, can people try calming down a little, i don't want to have to delete more posts
