- A mixture of sokoban with chess. The chess pieces can be the bad guys or can help you (or maybe both, using both black and white pieces). The needn't to be chess pieces at all, but different entities with different behaviours. I always get this idea when playing "Adventures of Lolo" or similar games.
- Snake... with pipes (once you enter, you have to go all the way out), with underground (moles, rabbits, hidden rocks, pipes that won't let you pass...), with trees (trees that you can climb)...
- Rotation tetris (the gravity goes down, then right, then up, then left, then down again) or any similar variation.
- The miner game. Think of Dig-dug, but you can only see around you, and where you have posted torchs (can be funny to see just "cartoon eyes" when the enemies goes into the dark). Doesn't need to be a mine, it can also be the interior of a Pyramid, or something similar. You need to reach the treasure, the key, the door... You can include flood (water level is going up), so some parts of the screen will be unaccessible soon.
- Arcade bridge building game. A plataformer (Mario style, by example), where there's a train that goes slower than you, but in the same direction. Apart of the classical problems of that kind of games (maily the enemies), you have to find bridge parts and put them in the holes to avoid the train crashing. The game can also include tunnels (tunnels YOU have to dig, of course), detours, classic western way of attacking trains (i.e.: woods in the middle of the way), etc...

Of course, all of those ideas need to be elaborated (a lot). I was trying to be generic enough to let you add or remove features to fit your requierements.
