Video Game Mashups

While sitting at the Acadia with Charles and Tom, I had my third billion-dollar idea in the last 6 months. The three of us are like idea ambassadors (don't know what that means, but a student used the word "ambassador" yesterday and I liked it). I think companies could pay us to come up with great ideas. We wouldn't even need office space. We could just chill at a pub and people could come to us, buy us beer, and we would supply great ideas….it would be like the Genius Bar…

The idea last night was simple…video game mashups. It would be amazing. Let me give some examples to get the creative juices flowing…

Shinobi vs. Duck Hunt

Take out ducks with your throwing stars. This could also be adapted for Big Buck Hunter.

Zork vs. Mortal Combat


West of House
You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door.

There is a small mailbox here.
There is also a man in horse-stance standing in the field.

> attack man in horse-stance.

The man giggles and pulls his katana.

> open mailbox

Opening the small mailbox reveals a leaflet.

> get leaflet

Taken.

> attack man in horse-stance with leaflet

The man cuts your arm off with his katana. You inflict several paper cuts.

> f$%ck

That sentence isn't one I recognize.

> read leaflet

The leaflet contains Vogon poetry.

> read leaflet to man in horse-stance

The man falls to the ground clutching his ears.

> finish him

The man is finished.


Frogger vs. Oregon Trail
