Games that would never sell.
#1
What hypothetical vidjagame would never possibly sell very well based on either how terrible the game itself is, or how terrible the mere concept is?

I'm thinking about a turn based RPG where you play as a level one Goblin. You can never level up, you can never gain any exp or items, and you almost never get to kill anyone unless they're really stupid. The entire game is just different parties of adventurers beating the sh*t out of you.

A point-and-click adventure where you play as an office worker trying to find his Excel spreadsheets before the big meeting. (Spoiler alert: They were never there to begin with.)

You are approaching a left turn.

>Take a right turn

It'd be more like:

>Attempt left turn; 67 degrees
:Your car crushed: Play Again? Y/N

An FPS game where your only weapon is a peashooter and all additional weapons cost $20 and up. Then again, I'm sure some idiot would still play the game.


Btw. I'm sure that text based driving game would become a cult hit.

A game where all you do is pretty much roll stuff around into a ball...
