A bounty hunter named Spud who has a pet brick (that he carries on his head) and who takes on missions from a small boy round the back of a chinese takeaway.

You moderators really took my "what ever comes out" comment seriously :). Thanks for all the ideas guys

Well hey, how are you ever going to be original if you use other games as your reference point? [grin]

I could almost see a game where you're a bounty-hunter called Spud hunting a magical flying llama in the midle of a cheese-strewn battlefield, and you have to take out the mystical wood nymphs who are trying to protect the llama by firing small dogs at them (or making them bark at them). It'd be like an FPS, with RPG elements.. certain powerups around the place levelup your dogs (you start out with puppies and they grow into great danes), and, in the opening scene, your pet brick betrays you and runs off with a nymph who he is in love with (EXCEPT the nymph is *really* in love with you and was just using the brick to get close to you). Just as the truth is about to come out the magical flying llama divebombs both the nymph and your pet brick and that is why you are hunting him. It is a heartfelt, gritty tale of revenge, with lines like "The body stank like a three-week-old baby with a passionate hatred of the world."

j/k. I have to come up with a semi-serious idea now. How about a ______________. . . no, maybe ___________. . . I have no idea.

I love Tron (lightcycles); I programmed it in C for my TI. What about 3D Tron (not just 3d graphics like in some existing versions, actually extend the gameplay into 3 dimensions).
