Smash Bros. Clone: DOS Heroes!
This is my idea for a smash bros. game in PC mascots format instead of console mascots. Not that anybody would actually do it, but wouldn't it be cool to have Keen and Cosmo and Duke and Doomguy fighting in dangerous dave's haunted mansion? Despite the namesake, not all fighters are from DOS games. In fact, some are even mac exclusive.

You know what would be awesome?
Take all the sprite based computer game characters, and put them in a game where they lead armies of minions from their various games pitted against other players!
You would have Doom Marine fighting Duke Nukem and all of a sudden the Chex Warrior comes out leading a swarm of flemoids and they start ripping apart Pig Cops, Revanants, slimes, imps, demons and octabrains.
Then the Strife Guy comes out of NOWHERE and brings an entity into the fray and electrocutes the CRAP out of everyone!
Oh wait... already been done.
No seriously. This is a great idea but it would be a LOT of work to get even a beta working.

Yeah... I'm not sure whether the graphics or the coding would be harder. You'd want multiple special abilities for everybody, arena interactivity, polished menus, one-player (necessitating enemy AI), two-player, maybe even... dare I say it... multiplayer? And you'd have to test it for months, making sure that everybody is balanced versus each other.

For that we need some project leaders. Since VikingBoyBilly came up with it, he should probably be the top guy.ZidaneA wrote:As usual, I'd do the music if the project leaders wants me too!
If we were going to do that, then we would need to have other monsters from the other games for fairness's sake, and that would be tons of work. Sticking to the titular heroes is the best way to go, I think.How about a nurfed (hope the spelling is correct) version of the Shikadi Master?
We could make it balanced, if Guybrush's abilities were just as potent as the Duke's.Galaxieretter wrote:Guybrush vs Duke Nukem...
Really... Balanced? Crazy
Haha, awesome ideas, both 'super dos brothers melee' and Galaxieretter's dos rts sounding thing.
Some characters missing from that list:
Hocus Pocus
Spit Wad Willy/Pea Shootin' Pete
Hugo (from hugo's house of horrors)
Skunny
Snake Logan

Those kids in Math/Word Rescue
The hero from Pickle Wars
Items:

A Chop (Hugo's house of horrors [always found that item hilarious])
Slow Down Time Item (Spit wad willy)
Potions for speed and teleportation (hocus pocus)
Arenas:
-Hexxagon
-Night Raid, except the characters are fighting in one of those big green carrier plains and have to avoid the shots from the bunker below (making gameplay something similar to the F-Zero levels in smash brothers).
