Idea for New Video Game

I have to write this down before life intervenes and I forget all the details Wink. As many of you know, my profession (other than recipe collector) is as a librarian. I recently got an inspired thought for a new library based video game that I, if I had the requisite skills, would totally create and play.

Introducing.....Library Streetfighter

Terrorists have attacked your library. You are the only one working (or else they have killed everyone else). It is up to you to use the materials at hand to defend yourself and the important works of the library. Here are some of the things you can use:

  • Dictionaries (I had to carry a stack of these recently--they are HEAVY).
  • Encyclopedias
  • Thesaurus (thesauri??)
  • Use a stack of a prolific author's works to build a barricade (Danielle Steel, Louis L'Amour, etc)
  • Library fine
  • For the more advanced levels, you could use the Dewey Decimal numbers for war books, karate books, etc.

(For the record, this idea is somewhat inspired by this Robot Chicken sketch....
