If you could design one game for the genesis/md, what would it be?

I would make an all woman weapon fighter. 15 characters and one unplayable boss. The game will be tag team style and only one round. One of your characters runs out of life you loose. Infinite timer. You pick 2 characters. There will be a striker move(similiar to kof99) limited to 3 times a round. Also you will be able to "tag" switching characters at will. Super moves with a power up system similiar to Fatal Fury Mark of the Wolves. Combo system up to 10-12 hits max, nothing crazy(a few more mixed with striker moves). For the fighters some will have to be weaponed fighters to increase the variety.

Buttons:
A-low kick
B-high kick
C-tag
X-low punch
Y-high punch
Z-striker

Fighters/weapon:

Viking
Amazon
Knight
Ninja
Samurai
Android
Kick Boxer
Wrestler
Sumo
Street Fighter
Boxer
Staff Fighter
Militant
Nun
leprechaun
Sasquatch
Pirate

I'll come back in and re-edit this post later as I'm busy right now.

My inspiration. I would want my game to be more serious looking though. Also aside from all woman fighters offcourse, to be as original as possible except for copying street fighter, fatal fury, samurai shodown and king of fighters.

What would you have made? Not saying if you could actually write the code, just to be in charge of the production.

An RPG. I know I wouldn't be the programmer, but I sure would be in charge of the artwork and writing. The Genesis can never have enough RPGs. :)

I think I would go RPG as well, or perhaps a point and click adventure game. I would make a game that uses a bunch of perifrials, the Menacer, the Activator, the Mega Mouse etc..

to original poster, guess you never heard of Strip Fighter for the PC ENgine/Turbografx 16

maybe a hacker can port it to Genesis to be played on a flash cart?



I would design an action RPG. We need more of those for the Genesis, (as good as Oasis or Secret of Mana)

I would create a sequel to Shinobi III. It would have cameos from all of the bosses from previous Shinobi games, gameplay elements from Revenge of Shinobi, Shinobi III and Strider combined, and just enough story between levels to keep the action center stage. Musashi wouldn't be an anti-hero, or a reluctant hero, he'd just be the best man for the job and the story would lead him to realize this.

I see the first level as a blend of the first level of Shinobi III and Revenge of Shinobi, where the forest opens up to the medieval Japanese castle setting. This level would allow for branching paths that would lead the player toward reliving previous Shinobi levels blended with new segments, or ... talking dogs. Yes, the real enemy would be talking dogs from outer space.

I probably would have designed a game where you trade real estate on the moon.

Actually, I started to plan a game that I came up with when I was drunk. It's called 'Side Quest' and it's a parody RPG. The main character gets sent to the village corner store by his mother to buy milk and he subsequently gets sidetracked continuously until he eventually saves his kingdom during a civil war.

This is actually not a bad idea.

Hmm...didn't know about these games. I did some research and see there is a part 1,2,3, & 4. Part 4 looks closer to Dreamcast graphics. I would love for any game let alone a fighter to get ported to the genesis. The buttons would have to change as part 1 and 2 from the pc engine runs off of 2 buttons.

This isn't really the direction I want to go with for my fighter. I'd want to leave the perviness out of it and keep it a serious fighter.

So... How many copies do you want to sell again?

Try:

1. Bikini Karate Babes - PC/Mac

2. SNK Gals' Fighters - Neo Geo Pocket Color

Yep. This robot only keeps getting wiser. The answer is Phantasy Star, the Climatrol Ruins. I expatiated upon this in the Games That Might Have Sold More Sega CD Units thread; due to size restrictions, it might have to come out as about a dozen lock-on 400 Meg carts.

Then, in the direction of ?? (choose one) : Asuka 120% Burning Fest/Special/Limited, Advanced VG 1 or 2, Arcana Hearts 1 or Suggoi!, Seifuku Densetsu Pretty Fighter X....Just twitting you.

I'd design something that plays similar to Monster World IV but within a cyberpunk universe similar to Shadowrun.

Multi genre. I'd like it to be a mix between a space ship shooter and rpg. You'd be a solider in a army in the midest of a war. You'd have to fight throw vertical and horizontal stages to land on the planet then engage in a rpg mode once landing on the planets. The character sprites and some special effects would be totally different when put in a 32x. There would also be 32x cd / regular cd movies throught the game. The sega CD would give the game voice acting and CD quality audio.

I think I would do a really long action rpg.

Holy shit dude, I've been fleshing out a Genny game exactly like that, but it also has run 'n gun levels too. And it has multiple paths.
