A game setting that hasn't been done?

[Sewblon]

How about the inside of a body?

Like you travel through bloodstreams and battle in the Stomach.

That or Neptune.

Microcosm. http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/bt/spoonyone/reviews/19896-spoony-archives-microcosm

While I'm not an evolutionist, how about fighting to get out of the primordial ooze? Proteins vs. amino acids?

Spore, the game with the horrible DRM. How about a game set in Canada where you fight for the liberation of Quebec?

 

[Otterpoet]

Although Halo comes slightly close, how about Larry Niven's Ring World

 

[Abedeus]

Glider. It's abandonware now and hard to find, but it exists ;p

And it's based of my room?
Why don't I believe you?

Well, I bet you throw paper gliders in your room once in a while, with lots of objects in the trajectory...

Umm... Norse mythology?

Too Human and Viking both covered it.

OT:... Um... Nowhere. I can't think of a thing.

Don't forget the Shin Megami Tensei games and of course, Loki, Titan Quest and probably some more.

WW1?

Flight simulators exploited WW1 to hell and back. WWII is more about infantry, WWI is about "who's got biggest or fastest guns".

Really? iv seen plenty of WW2 ones but never a WW1 one i shall have to look them up. Wait.. are they any fun?

I dunno, never like flight simulations. I was always into RPGs, turn-based strategies and FPS games.

But as for FPS games in WWI... the equipment was crap, and infantry didn't have anything to do against the tanks. Pancerfausts and bazookas were invented for the WWII, so tanks could literally run over people without being afraid or retaliation.

i think prehistoric times haven't been covered alot, and if they have they have been awful.

how about playing as a dinosaur, and earlier mammal like reptile, or after the dinosaurs, but before modern man? having them 3 choices, then playing out the lifestyle of an animal you choose, having conflict and survivability all rolled into one game...i'd play it ^_^

Velociraptor here i come!

Also id like a GOOD Medabot game =)

What was that flash game called? Robot Dinosaurs That Shoot Beams When They Roar. Two choices, but dinosaurs!!

Also, Spore could mimic that.

Good Medabot game? On GBA I once played one, it was pretty good, finished it in about a week. Lots of parts to collect, medals, fun plot too.

Inside the body was covered with Microcosm.

I do know you could mine Neptune in Mass Effect 2.

A polynesia-like setting, through some space games are vaguely similar.

In the rare, but done category: anything with a Diesel Punk [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DieselPunk] setting. Bronze age, early iron age, and neolithic settings are also rather rare. There are probably parts of 'colonizing' the Americas (say, 1500-1850) that are done rarely or not all. Central, South, and Southeast Asia are also largely ignored. Ditto subsaharan Africa.

As for wars, anything more recent than WW2 gets only light coverage. Alternatively, some older ones might work. What games are set during or around, say, the Thirty Years War, or Great Northern War? Or for that matter, the Sino-Japanese or Russo-Japanese Wars? (Well, the later has been dealt with once or twice in naval games...)

Well, as for colonizing the Americas, there's a little game you may remember with this little word; dysentery. As for any Age thing, don't forget that there are tons of games out there that occur during these times, without focusing on it.

And as far as wars not covered in games, I can assure you there are some modders out there who have pretty much simulated every war ever.

And If sub-Saharan Africa means what i think it means (below the map of the desert), then what about Far Cry 2 or Resident Evil 5? Those are in sub-Saharan Africa, right?

 

[King of the Sandbox]

The internet. All of it.

That already has a game. And you all just lost it.

 

[Gunner 51]

School massacres. Not even the evil that is Bobby Kotick would dare to get involved with it.

 

[Vitor Goncalves]

An RPG in stone Age, if there is one, I would like to try it.

Or even earlier than that, a game where you're one of the monkey predecesors of the human race and have to fling from tree to tree searching for bananas and battling T-rexes. Awesome or what?

So many times we did fight T-rexes already and other dinosaurs, not as monkeys for sure but:
Cadillac and Dinosaurs, Dino Crisis, Jurassic Park, Tomb Raider, Turok, Carnivores, World of Warcraft, King Kong, Guild Wars, Trespasser, Primeval Prey, Nanosaur, Paraworld, and probably many more I dont know or remember.

Tell that to Pico over at Newgrounds.

 

[SilverHammerMan]

How about the Spanish colonization of South America, Aztec (or Mayans, whatever the hell they were) versus a bunch of murderous Spaniards? I'd buy that for a dollar!

Well damn I've got nothing then.

It's a flash game, does it count?
Though to be fair to Pico, he was trying to stop it by gunning down the perpetrators rather than killing innocent people.

 

[senorcromas]

Finland. I think. Perhaps. Possibly. Probably not.

 

[Wolfram23]

How about... um...

....

a game about going into a black hole... but not dying

 

[Ekonk]

School massacres. Not even the evil that is Bobby Kotick would dare to get involved with it.

It seems that you are unaware of the existance of 'Super Columbine Massacre RPG!'.

Anyway, I'd say...


...


...uh. I will get back to you.

Maybe in a Civ game? Maybe Conquests.

 

[carpathic]

Haven't seen many games about the frenulum or the uvula.
