The Games they should've made

Just incase any development houses are watching :rotfl:

You mean games as in computer games right? Not sports?

Then I have a good thingy for them.

World War I. Basically anything, there is almost nothing on the market about that war, compared to WWII, it's rather ridiculous.

Babylon 5.

(Yes, I know there's a freeware game, but I mean a big budget game with acted cutscenes etc.)

Action Half-Life mod had one map where one side consisted of the members of the A-Team. It was hilarious. Several Mr T:s running around at the same time killing the opposing force.

The simulation world is starving for strategic bomber sims (B-17) and surface combat sims most, I think.

Whoever builds the first action game that features players with recruitable teams fighting for dynamic control of the Moscow Metro will have me buying 10 copies to give to all my friends! It doesn't have to make sense, it just needs to have realistic guns and 100% realistic environment, cause the Moscow Metro is THE coolest interconnected architectural complex in the world to have dynamic shootouts in

Think "Mornington Crescent", but in Moscow and with a lot of kalashnikovs.

Other...Don't like any of them, Sorry.

Some flight simmers would disagree. It was a rather romantic era in the air.

Actually the way i read it he thought the lack of WW1 sims was ridiculous not that WW1 sims were ridiculous.

I agree with none of the above. I want to drive a corvette (not the car) from Halifax to Liverpool, looking for u-boats all the way.

I want to fly a Mk II Spitfire on a hit-and-run over French soil in January 1941. None of the current flight sims seem to cover my favourite period (at least that I know of - I am a little behind the curve).

I want to fly a Heinkel He-51 over spain in 1939 (I do have a copy of Luftwaffe Commander, but it's quite dated and gives little satisfaction).

I want to drive an early 77-foot Elco PT boat in the Solomons in 1942.

I want to drive a 73-foot Vosper in the Channel (that may come true someday, given the current state of the Schnellboot mod).

I want to drive a Type-C Auto Union at the Nurburgring in 1937.

I want to drive an Alfa Romeo 158 at Monaco in 1950.

That other stuff bores me.

Regarding the Miami Vice game, I played the one based on the original series, not the movie (*snort*) one. Its fun, but the low budget really shows through. It could've been alot more than it was.

I was however very happy they managed to get Jan Hammer to do some backing music for it. There are some original, very Vice sounding instrumentals in there that compliment the action.

Its the same with Knight Rider. There have been two games, but both have been vehicle based action, rather than on-foot AND vehicle. I just think it'd be pretty cool to be able to walk the Hoff around schmoozing and generally ballsing things up, then make my getaway in KITT in Pursuit Mode

Oops! That sentence structure threw me.

There are a few good strategic level games on the market now. Matrix Games has one called Guns of August. However, compared to the faster moving and more dynamic WW2, I think the Great War is always gonna lose out marketwise.

Hey Torpy, fancy making a Miami Vice promo image to send to some devs? :rotfl::rotfl:
