Pixelart style game.
Someone should make a pixelart game of the forum.. you play a mod who has to clean up forumworld and you get missions you need to complete in set timelimits and its all speccy style. That would be cool
you'd also have to avoid the beady eye's of the Munrobots
you'd have to be constantly on the look out for random spam attacks (cans of spam being thrown at you by fast moving enemies)
and also the odd person in a dark costume running around like a spy who holds up a picture of tub girl (in all its pixelated 16x16 glory) and dispatch him forthwith
while doing your missions, you'd get random users who need assistance, like moving a thread they made in one section to another (involves picking it up and then going to another section to put it in the right place)
also deleting threads users leave, and generally cleaning up the place
For an extra bonus you sometimes get breaking news that you have to quickly take to a member of the news team in a certain number of seconds
Then of course you'll have the odd troll who'll pose a problem and need to be banned or put on global ignore.
You start off as a regular moderator, having to perform the simpler tasks first, but you can't ban anyone at this point, so need to chase the trouble maker towards a supermod so they can, do enough of those tasks and get a high enough score to be upgraded to a super moderator, giving you better features, and being able to ban trolls and trouble makers in one go. But the game gets harder to play at this point.
Eventually you get a high enough score to be upgraded to Admin, where the game becomes almost impossible.
Also there's powerups, eg: one would be "munro is on vacation" where you get a short time to do what you want without getting in trouble
Another would be a bliink backup mode, which would call bliink and let her go crazy, useful for disposing of trolls during a spam attack hehe.

Anyhoo obviously its in no way related to Source, just the forum, done in Flash and in isometric style, with the basic gameplay you'd find in spectrum games, little fella running around a map that makes up the forum.
No this doesn't belong in the help wanted forum. I'm not looking for help cause I don't personally plan on making this (I can't do pixelart for starters lol) But I thought it would be fun to see what people thought. Remember, it wants to stay relatively simple, no deep storyline, its a pixelart isometric game like the good old days of gaming. It's closer to Trashman crossed with Ikari Warriors than FarCry or HL2.
I just miss this type of game, would be interesting to see what idea's others can come up with. Or even to prompt Vegeta to try some mockup screens *hint hint*
