A beat'em up was one of the idea i've been kicking around. The only thing that worries me is the amount of art required (as in SFII / Mortal Kombat sprite animations)
Had a few others (some from last year ))
* Reverse Retro - Create a retro edition of a modern game. So rather than take an old retro game and make it 3D (how creative), take a modern game and create version of it for the 8/16bit age.
* Classic Remakes (from arcades/home computers)
* Remake a Demo (8/16bit scene)
* No Media contest (game must create gfx content with procedural creation)
* Team AI challenge. (Team sports)
* Puzzlers
etc etc.

nrasool, You could, but I kinda meant something more like this. Sunny Mountains So you use code to generate the gfxs/scene. Tifu, Yeah, I like the Reserve Retro Idea too. Just dunno how practical it'd be though. Making a team AI game such as soccer/basketball/ cricket/baseball etc would be a real challenge I think... Not too sure how i'd go about that myself. Draco9898, Yeah, a racing theme could be fun. |

Yeah, sports would be challenging... for some reason my brain missed the word sports and just read team AI which would be much more open to interpretation and variety. Maybe too muchly so, I dunno!?

Reverse Retro sounds good.
Also beat 'em up. It wouldn't necessarily need that much animation. It could be like Barbarian where it was just the same character.
