Oz vs Wonderland anime-style fighting game, a la the current-gen fighting games of Arc System Works (i.e. BlazBlue).

Game Collector: The Game!

Your low wage job at GameHalt offers you little disposable income, so you must shop for the rarest games at the best deals without blowing too much on gas or shipping charges. Different friends drop by your house with different criteria for a succesful collection and you must impress them. The OCD friend cares about how you organize your shelves. The elite friend cares about how many rare games you have. The buddy doesn't care as long as you have the latest manshooter sequel. The otaku friend cares about your JRPGs. You never play games, just collect for bragging rights. Also, sticker removal mini-game!

I have one.

Its a story Idea I've had in my head for years now.

One day my lazy ass will write it.

This is the Videogame version of my story. I'll give you the lite version.

You are a samurai that is mysteriously transported to ancient Mexico. Where you have to fight a whole empire who is out to get this mysterious outsider. A woman who was to be sacrificed was saved by the main character and now they must both find a way to survive. There are lots of secrets behind this woman, and she may or may not have been involved in your spiriting into another continent.

There are some mystical creatures involved as well and lots of enemies both human and supernatural.

Basically the game is a mix of ONIMUSHA and APOCALYPTO (the movie) with some stealth elements thrown in.

This and its eventual sequel could involve the opposite.

An Aztec/Maya warrior in Feudal Japan.

Incredible Bunny Suicide Machines

I often get a laugh out of the Bunny Suicide comics. Combine the Rube Goldberg gameplay of a game like Incredible Machines with the comedic self destruction of the suicide bunnies and you have a hit.

You had me at Sticker Removal Mini-Game. This game is just screaming out for iOS/DS. Like GameDevStory but GameCollectStory. You should work for Double Fine. This sort of shit gets pitched all the time during Amnesia Fortnight.

It needs a low print run so it becomes a valuable collector's item.

Shepherd Against the 7 Deadly Sins

This is a Lemmings clone where you have to guide people away from the temptations of Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride. Your characters are born at the start of the level and their aging is your time limit. You have to guide them towards heavens light (the exit) before they die of old age while avoiding all of the sinful traps: food for gluttony, coins for greed, TVs for sloth, mirrors for Pride (vanity), etc.

You are a mailman, you drive around in real-time, and you have to run away from dogs, cut through yards ect. Some people offer you lemonde, it increased your stanima, but time goes down. this game involves running, talking, and driving.

for 10 min in everygame you choose 1 of the 5 restauraunts in town, and talk to people, whoever you talk to the most will become your friend at the end of the game.

It needs a low print run so it becomes a valuable collector's item.

And it should be a homebrew game that's only developed for some rare and expensive consoles like SuperGrafx and CDTV.

Also looking to buy: Ys III (TG-16 CD), Shadowrun (Genesis) Hori N64 mini pad and Slayer (3DO) in long box/just the long box
