Omega-TI Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 If you were going to make a game called, "Escape from North Korea", what kind of game would it be? Would it be: A graphic based game with guard towers, landmines, and other traps in your trek across the DMZ or would it be a text adventure where you have to bribe NPRK guards and use your wits? There are many ways one could TRY to escape the North in a game situation, especially on a limited retro-computer, but you cannot cover them all. Land & sea routes of a limited and direct route seem to make more sense in a game environment than all the additional real-life scenarios that are actually more successful.

Would it be: A graphic based game with guard towers, landmines, and other traps in your trek across the DMZ Sounds like a clone of BERLIN ... When I found it, I first thought, hey, a game about Germany. Shortly later, after playing, I felt sad for the people who lost their lives - in the real world. The scenario shown in the game is, unfortunately, a piece of history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMenard Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I would either do something similar to The Lost Patrol or instead create a game based on th Chosin Resevoir retreat. I'm also a big fan of old time wargames so no need for action sequence for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let´s say, it´s fortunately history now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Just a warning against becoming political. Edit: Remember this is an international forum. You know, I actually thought about that, then I got to thinking, considering how repressive that regime is, it's doubtful that anyone from North Korea will be on AtariAge to take offense. Besides, I've never met anyone who would publicly come out against the rights of the oppressed. Since it's a game, I'm wondering how 'out there' it should be. Remember how Hogan's Heroes framed the opposition? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Do you get to take out Kim Jong-un? Dunno how that would fly... BUT, maybe a little sabotage of Rocket Man's Nuke Launchers along the way? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMenard Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) I bet Kim Jong-Un is basing his air defense strategy on the 2600 version of Missile Command... Edited January 6, 2018 by AMenard 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 I bet Kim Jong-Un is basing his air defense strategy on the 2600 version of Missile Command... Hmmm... gives me an idea... between levels there could essentially be a second game within the game... where you shoot down Kim's missiles for bonus points. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmusr Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Please point out North Korean supporters, so we can ban them. Thanks. If AtariAge has political opinions, then please ban me. Edit: Hmm, I can see from your profile that you're only 15 years old so I don't expect you know much about politics, but every conflict has two sides, and this is not the place to make a stand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+9640News Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I bet Kim Jong-Un is basing his air defense strategy on the 2600 version of Missile Command... Or, if he does fire a nuke, it can randomly break up in the atmosphere, go astray, hit Japan and you get assistance from the retaliation support, the missile hits a random plane either on its launch or re-entry, wipes out a ship inadvertently when it goes astray, missile goes up and falls back down and explodes at the launch pad, he tests a nuke and blows off the top of his mountain dusting his own people. Might also add they crap their pants, fertilize their garden with the excrement, and then get eaten by worms.......... One could have a lot of fun with this one. Unfortunate for his people though in this repressive regime. Beery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMenard Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 This is about a game. Should we refrain from discussions about Wolfenstein or Civilization due to the political stance the player take. What about strategy or wargames? Hell, even World of Warcraft is political... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LS_Dracon Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 If you were going to make a game called, "Escape from North Korea", what kind of game would it be? An inversed tower defense, you're already inside the building and must run away while the army is shooting at you. Every new level you have points to shield up the civilian (or boost the speed or fight back) while the AI have more units to add on the map.

There is no game or even a game in the making. As I see it, the topic starter has shown no intent of making a game. Makes somewhat of a difference to me. If this is allowed, we could see hundreds of topics suggesting whatever under cover of being an idea for a game. I don't suppose this is what you really want ?

CantStopClicking Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I actually thought it sounded like a reasonable idea for a game. Simple solution. Change the name of the game. Haven't you ever seen or play Medal of Honor, Battlefield Vietnam, 1942, etc etc... Or is this a Denmark thing? Seriously, I'm confused at why such rage over this?
