I can understand that it is probably "the easy way" to go when learning game designer. However, is this the best thing to do?

I remember when how happily someone could get when find another game that was very similar (in both concept and gameplay) to their favorite titles and stories ... It was also very amusing when there was not any (official) version of some brand name game for a particular system and someone find or develop a nice clone of the afore mentioned title.

Yukio, thanks for another stream of consciousness, unhindered by higher level brain activity! Smile

Here is my contribution (less then 3 neurons fired for this thought) : people do what they like and don't give a hoot what anyone else wants Smile

Pirate running? There is some fancy concept about a pirate that ran with the money bag ...

Well, in the game subject:

Pac-Man : Hänsel und Gretel (the florest maze and other popular titles)
Super Mario : Alice in the Wonderland (there is the Alice syndrome with the mushrooms)
Final Fantasy : various types of paper Role Playing Games along with mythological stuff

Just turn game plot backwards and everything is allright...

Like Hannu ja Kerttu (finnish language version of Hänsel und Gretel), original real life story was much more horrible (not told at all in yukio´s link, I checked some links there and no luck either), just tell the storyline like this: turn really bad grown up people to good little children and turn the good one to horrible bad one and you get a masterpiece, like Hannu ja Kerttu faery tale. (and same idea is used in Konami´s Goemon, he was murdering thief and then some clever people some hundred years later decide to make computer game where that dangerous murderer is very nice chap and hero of the game...great...and becomes almost cult person among fanatic MSX game collectors.... great indeed....)

Best make a game about US bombing the hell out of civilians in Munich! Thinking about all those helpless women, children and elders screaming and dying puts a smile on my anti-nazi face Smile

Blitz !!! The game about a man/woman into a airplane bombing a entire city only to save his/her own life ...

There should be several versions of Blitz for various platforms.
