So I’m playing Slugblaster with my friends and they’re invited to a party by an arcade designing company/sponsor. I’d love some stupid idea for arcade they could sell.

So far I’ve come up with:

  • your Life : an arcade that scan you and let you play your life in a less boring way

Earth Defenders: a game where you control a slow invasion fleet descending towards a planet defended by one ridiculously manoeuvrable ship that hides behind asteroids and picks off your outriders one by one.

Angry Plumber: you're a gorilla on a date with your human girlfriend at the top of a half-constructed building. A plumber is climbing the scaffolding to hit you with his wrench and kidnap your girlfriend. All you have to defend yourself with is this pile of barrels.

Great idea. Thanks

Do you have any corps or established stuff in universe you could make into game cabinets? Callbacks are always good. Even really mundane stuff like shoes or bubblegum could have one. Maybe the sponsor wants to make the crew into a cabinet. I also like the idea that something like Packman or galaga is taking centre stage over all these fantastic modern games.

This is probably not what you’re looking for, but it reminded me of the fan-made Polybius scenario for Kult.

But even if its not what you need, it might be useful as inspiration:

Oh, and if you’re not familiar with the urban legend, give it a search on YouTube.

Will look thank
