Here's a bizarre concept. Medieval Knievel. I know it sounds silly but it's doable and defiantly for the light hearted player. It would be a
first person perspective game. You basically start out with a teeter totter. A horse and a largish bag of sand. You toss the sand bag onto one end,
go flying over the horse and using the keyboard you try to twirl in the air coming to a safe landing. Spectators pay you money. You take the money
and invest in better equipment, better armor (to protect yourself), apothecary treatments (when you screw up) etc. The game culminates in your being
fired out of a trebuchet, do 3 1/2 gainers over a castle (watch out for the walls!) and come to a landing in front of the Queen of England. You need
to calculate how much force (how much weight or turns of the crank to use). Height (gotta clear that horse or castle wall) and how much you can spin
in the air before you land avoiding landing on top of your head for example.
Weird I know but I'd love to play it. The comedic effects should be straight out of warner Brothers cartoons (human shaped dent in a castle wall for
instance).
