What is THE most random idea you've ever had for a video game?

[Tattaglia]

Writing a five hundred page novel. That's all you do. And it's only on consoles, without keyboard compatibility... meaning you have to manually type every letter out.

I'm expecting sales in the millions.

Chekov, would you kindly explain why you plagiarized my post? Just curious...

To quote one of my friend's random outbursts:

"So there's this game, where you get to fly around in space, and you can kill EVERYTHING!! INCLUDING SPACE!!"

Eh, here's mine: You first create your standard high-fantasy RPG hero, who then sits around with his party, playing a tabletop RPG set in a no-magic industrial world as a student, worker etc.

Football Referee. In First Person View and with todays graphical capabilities, you play the referee in various football matches, from local to world cup scale. Based on what happens in the field you must make the right decisions so that you earn reputation and promotions, or else the newspapers won't be so kind towards you. That has never been done before, I think.

Sounds like Phoenix Wright's next career move.

I just thought it would be awesome to show someone the red card, FPS style!

The hero must use his super-natural powers to end a international conflict and bring world peace, creating a thriving utopia where everyone is happy. However, his considerable god-like powers are fueled by the scorn, hatred, and malice of those around him. so, in a nutshell, his goal is to make everyone happy but his powers only work when everyone is unhappy.

The entire situation would become hilariously counter-productive and convoluted. I love it.

That actually sounds pretty cool.

I once had this idea where you could pick any sort of animal and just live like that animal, but frankly that's gonna suck hard.
I'm also working on a mod for Neverwinter Nights where you can actually go evil and join the other team instead of being evil by taking money from beggars and kicking puppies (friggin' KOTOR made me do it....)

An Rpg set in a jazz club where you the Clint Eastwood blow up doll must find the floor while being distracted by seizure inducing lights.

 

[Ace of Spades]

A slug must escape from a prison using stealth and wall-crawling.

I would buy a copy if someone were to make that.

Zombie Panic!: Source
But with bears.
Bears vs. people, bears vs. zombies I don't care it would be fun either way.

Biological warfare. You inject people in the neck with a collection of disease that do horrible things to you. Watch in awe as you stab emo_naruto_fan_666 in the neck with your homemade drug and his eyes gleefully bleed until they explode! Shoot sniper rifles filled with a robot tick that puts a virus into your enemy's body that causes him to throw up his own intestines!

So yeah, I'm just interested in childrens' games.
