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.
In that case I will go with this one (a game about thumb wrestling sounds like a fun challenge):

Can anyone tell me what the title is (in English)?

I would like to remind everyone that if you intend your game to be freeware, Assemble Part 1 is filled with GPL licensed artwork, music, and sound effects for games.

Um, I was thinking of using a boxart way back from the VGNG competition... I can't remember what exactly it was called, but something like "ADVANCED LIGHTNING FROM HELL!". If nobody actually did that game, I'd like to claim it as my entry.

There are no dibs so don't worry.

If anybody wants to translate the text that goes along with the cartridge which I'm using (tales of an unspoken world), I'd be very glad: http://famicase.com/chronicle/#/2005/shimizu/ (for lack of a link to a 2005 page, if there even is one)

I think the text relating to the game is on the topright of the screen when zoomed in on the case. (aka, what it does after they all load)

Hi all,

Hadrian Węgrzynowski already posted this collection by Penney Design, but I think it deserves a second mention:

I think I will go with this one:

I found this:


It instantly made me think of a game which would make as much sense as any Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode. This is not an original idea... just an nonsensical addition to an old game. I have no idea if I would do this. I know if I did, it would not have a chance of winning, but would be just fun to do something silly. The game would be mildly fun for at least 10 minutes.

Concept:
An alternate version of one of the Spacecataz episodes. Ignignot and Err find their ship being loaded to the nines with 500'000 pizzas. Ignignot has an emergency time machine aboard and pops the ship into the past at some random time. Oglethorpe and Emory are left to pay the bill with a very angry pizza company owner. In the meantime... in the past, Ignignot and Err find themselves at the exact time that the Apollo 11 Lander is making it's descent. They decide to screw with history and start piling pizzas on top of the lander, increasing it's weight and making it harder to land.

Game Concept:
(so far) The game is a one button game (notice Use with Joystick Controllers). It starts with the lander zipping along above the surface of the moon in an upright position (not technically accurate I know). The terrain scrolling by is much like the terrain in the original game - multiple levels of jagged peaks. The button controls only the thruster and of course there is only so much fuel left. Once the scrolling ground slows down to a manageable speed, flat landing spots show up. As soon as the game starts, the Mooninite's space ship appears and instantly they start stacking large pizza boxes on top of the lander. Each pizza box is a point multiplier. The player can either try to land the lander right away or try to go for as much points as possible by landing as far as possible with the most pizza boxes stacked on top. The Mooninites may hurl insults while the player attempts to land.

Anyone got dibs on this? I'd like to give this one a crack Smiley
Could I get a translation of the text as well? I'm curious to know what it means.

The title just says "meeting", I believe.
And the top text is "Family Computer" (famicom/NES.)

Firstly, THERE ARE NO DIBS.

Secondly, you can find the cart at famicase.com and click on it. It'll show you the name and a description of what the cart's maker thought the game would be about in Japanese. Put it through http://translate.google.com and you'll get:

Quote
"Meeting"

Kaori Baba / Graphic Designer

A dozen cats from several animals, that you see together at a certain place, it is a "meeting of the cat" is called. It looks as if in a daze having just seen from the outward eye, and exchange information, and sometimes a power struggle, and the love and you can experience profound truth in the form of cat simulation community.

Oh wow, I've been wanting to try making something looking like vector planet for a long time ... ever since I saw the case a while ago.  I guess now I'll have to legitimately give it a go Smiley
