Thoughts on a game idea..

I''ve been thinking some more about my game idea and a few guys seemed keen on seeing something along the lines of Abuse. My initial idea was to do something like R-Type and similar horizontal scrollers. The reason I pick R-Type as a reference because I particularly liked the power-ups that were available. I think that''s important in a game like that. (Thoughts?) So I thought; how about combining the two? Have a horizontal scolling shooty game but with the added bit that Abuse has, using the keyboard to move and the mouse to shoot. That way, you could move to the ''front'' of the screen and still shoot things that move behind you without having to race all over the screen. Does anybody know of any other games that do this already? I''m sure this can''t be something new. I''d be interested to know if you think it would work? It would certainly offer a more testing environment because baddies could justifiably come at you from all angles, instead of just from the right edge of the screen. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Nice one Airhead! I had forgotten about those - the whole screen flashes and everything dies, very cool.

I can see I''m going to have to get the old emulator running again and start playing some good old school games!
