User blog:Element Knight 375/My Birthday GIW Challenge: Revising Terrible Games!

Yo everybody! It's mah birthday! WOOT!

So because of that fact, I thought I'd use this special occasion of mine to tell you about an idea I had not too long ago; I looked at some of the most terrible games I'd ever seen, like Sonic R, Sonic '06, and Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, among others. That made me start thinking about exactly why the games were so bad, and I realized that many of the worst executed games have great or at least salvageable concepts, such that a better-done remake sequel to each of them could be excellent.

At the same time, I was thinking about how despite the fact that I'm pretty prominent on this wiki, I haven't been doing a whole lot to launch creative initiative among the users. You probably know where I'm going with this now, don't you?

So anyway, I thought a great first step would be to issue a challenge to every single one of you on the wiki who's interested. This challenge is to take the worst game you've ever played, seen, or ever heard of, and make a page that is a remake or sequel to this game that meets your personal standards of what a great game should be.

This will have no real parameters aside from the pretty obvious one that the idea you create be of the same genre as the one off of which it's based. For example, if you're making a sequel to a very weak racing game, ideally you should create a great racing game of the same format. Simple!

I hope you all accept this challenge, and I thank you for reading!
