Dude, I had an idea like that. Where you fight futuristic cyber nazis and a super human hitler. You play as a samurai and a dr. manhattan-like character.
Well how awesome I just finished reading Watchmen earlier today :)

WE SHOULD TEAM UP AND MAKE IT

That actually reminded me of an idea...if I ever make an FPS the training mode will pit you against clones of Hitler.

Lets team up and give it the most awesome name ever. Like "Atomic Spaceman and The Samurai Guy in: Nazi Slayer."
Nah. And you can have the Hilter clones training grounds idea. I've got like another half million ideas floating in my head that I want to use so letting some of the more unrelated ideas go frees up some space for my other ones.

I'd make a stealth escort game about the underground railroad. I don't think there are enough games about historical events, besides WWII.

I'd make a game (sort of like Psyconauts) where you play as Soren Alenko, a struggling writer who's suffering from a severe case of insomniac. She's proscribed a new medication to help w/ the insomnia. It works-for a bit anyway. The medication causes Alenko to have freaky, large and expansive world dreams, where she must fight, puzzle sole and platform her way out.
One thing that happens as the player takes more damage, the dreamworld turns into a nightmare. If the player takes too much damage, they wake up (die) then return to the most recent checkpoint.

I'd say more, but due to paranoia, I have the fear that someone here would take my "brilliant master plan" from me.

The player is given a massive arsenal of weapons and a robust physics engine and combat mechanics, and set loose in an old folks home. Hilarity ensues.

I plan on making Game Design my career, so I've thought up several dozen game ideas, most of which will probably never make it into existence. I'm not revealing them to the escapist forums though, not until i get them copyrighted XD
The number one rule of Game Development: steal other people's ideas.

Ideas can't be copyrighted, only their execution (at least that's how it's SUPPOSED to work). Besides ideas are cheap it's all in the execution/details. Plus if you make something copyrightable then it's automatically copyrighted, you don't have to 'file' for copyright like a patent.

One of the ideas, that I'm definitely not planning on following through with, would be a Dwarf Fortress/Rogue-like game. The difference would be that you start out as an injured player of a race (elf, dwarf, human, etc.) deep down a cave.... alone... There would be no monsters, no intelligent npcs almost eerily nothing. The whole goal would be to survive get healthy, then try to find your way out. The gameplay would be centered around cultivating, herding docile animals, foraging for food, exploring without dieing, and crafting tools/items to help you out. The twister would be that you're not actually alone :). Explore far enough out or last long enough and you just might explore enough to actually encounter other creatures. There's no way I'd make the game as it'd take a serious investment on something that might not end up fun but if it worked out right I think it would be really cool to explore around trying to survive and finding interesting locales (ruins and the like that are abandoned) as you try to find your way out.

If i could make a game. it would have to be an online game where its all out war and you have anything in sight at your disposal. You could fly a plane drive a tank said an aircraft carrier if you wanted to anything goes. no WMD's though else the game would be done in seconds.

F-Zero meets Death Race(or Mario Kart). The speed and customization aspects with weapons. If you land on a certain block of the course, you get a weapon that can do various things. It could drop a series of bombs behind you, allow you to fly for a short time, or launch a series of missiles. Several people can play online at once.
