Such an awesome idea!

Now are there any covers which are obviously for sudoku?

[lokijki]

I've got this one!


Sushi Blade!

This is a great idea. Hope I can find the time to join in! Good luck, everbuzzles.

Someone going to frontpage this?

yes (said in the past tense)

Thanks a lot Paul. Could you perhaps change "realize it" to "use it as inspiration for a real game" or something like that? Just to be specific.

Also, whoa, I didn't expect this many threads so quickly.

[Paul Eres]

what -- that's what 'realize' means, specifically. to make something real is to realize it.

I bet this contest is going to churn out some really bizarre (and amusing) games. There are some really twisted game parodies out there. I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with...

I am starting to lean more towards this Harvest Moon one, the title makes me crack up and immediately springs ideas to mind. The only one I've seen so far that made me laugh harder was "Chocobitch Tales" (Chocobo Tales) with Chocobo as a pimp. There are so many good ones out there, so hard to choose!

Oh, alright, I just felt it implied that people needed to tie their ideas down to the carts too much. Nevermind then!

I'd prefer if people used carts with original concepts and strayed away from simple game parodies, but if you're feeling strongly about that one go ahead.

I'm trying to see about that, but I can't promise anything.

What about using stuff from http://mightygodking.com/index.php/2008/04/21/fun-from-yesterday/? The artwork is from real Atari 2600 game boxes, but the text has been altered and it's not like the original games ever remotely resembled the cover image.

[Mr. Yes]

I'm not sure if I'm doing this yet. I'm tempted to create a thread but I might just forget about it. We'll see.

Those I like, specifically because of what you mentioned, how these covers were outlandish even when you put them side by side with the games they housed.

I'm tempted to make the METEOR DETECTIVE CLUB game but that will likely be a visual novel thing and I would need an awesome artist. hmmm. hmmmmmmm.
