You know it's been agest since I've worked on my last major project. I still intent to finish it sometime in the future. But I had this really cool group project idea in mind.

How many of you guys have ever played Mega Man on the old consoles? Or even Super Mario Brothers? Wouldn't it be awesome if these games were multiplayer? Yes, You could play SMB in turns as a multi-player, but honestly... do you think anyone would want to go online and play like that? I'd like to make a true-to-form MegaMan-style multiplayer platform game. Now the engine would be 2D of course... not-barring and cool 3D effects or pre-rendered graphics for the player and enemy sprites, other objects.

I loved the characteristic feel and style of the CapCom games in those days the games were ultra-responsive and quick on the controls... if you were good enough you could go par-on-par wit hthe quickest of bosses in the game. I'd like to try to recapture that style of gameplay that seems to be lost these days.

What do you guys think? Story ideas, themes? Weapons, features?
