So i'm thinking of making an old arcade map. I'm thinking PacMan or maybe tetris, frogger or something along those lines. But i dont want to start it if you guys think its a bad idea. So let me know what you think. And if you do like the idea, give me suggestions for an old arcade game to do.

Go Hoff I was planning on something similar it was meant to be a GORF map.

I go the idea for your map. Because your map kinda reminded me of the game asteroid. What old game would work best?

I think It would either be PacMan or Galaxian

Don't do tetris, it would probably just end up looking like the crossword map.

Cars, road, logs, water, lily pads, they all could be made into continents

I could see that working, it would just require some creative map-making to take away from the linearishness of the map.

Eh, i'm not too crazy about this idea. If you can pull it off, more power to you but I don't really see it going anywhere great.

I just don't know what you're going to call the "countries"...I don't like the crossword map because it's work for me to find my countries, you know what I mean? I guess this would be a lot of the same....


attack log 1 from log 3

and

attack car 4 from car 7?

but you know...i'm always partial to the classic map, so if you can pull it off, go for it...

Not to long ago while I was playing my Super Nintendo, I thought an interesting idea for a map might be Super Mario World. Various countries could be the level-games, and the continents are already there. Sounds interesting, but I don't know if even I would play it, hehe. But I think looking into other areas now, rather than just geography, is a good stepping stone to greater things.

Yeah i dont even really like my idea anymore either haha. Cahoots is right, it would be too much like the crossword map with #s and all. I have an idea in my head for a map. It would be a completely different layout from the traditional classic map, but i think it would be interesting. I'll make a post about it once i get it drawn up.
