Video game products that I wish existed but don’t:
1. DOS Mini – a tiny PC that compiles classic DOS games from the 80s and 90s.
2. PC-*8 – a collection of PC-88 and PC-98 games that were never released in the West, translated into English for the first time.
3. PICO-8 handheld console – why should this be a fantasy? It should totally be real.
4. ‘00s feature phones with J2ME emulator and SD slot – all those Java phone games should be revived.
5. Flash browser – I’m not saying most web browsers should support Flash. What I am saying is there should be a dedicated browser just for Flash.
6. Korean net cafes – yes, they exist in South Korea. But that experience isn’t here in North America. I’m not talking merely about LANs, but a place you can go to late at night with noodles and soju.
7. Hologram arcades – for a brief moment in the 90s, hologram games were a thing. Then they stopped happening. But they should make a comeback.
8. Modern paddle games – remember how Pong, Breakout, and Kaboom used a paddle? It was pretty awesome. New games should try it.
9. Office software with Easter egg games – remember how Excel 97 had a hidden flight simulator? Why stop at that? There should be a suite of office software where the entire purpose is to find the Easter egg games.
10. E-reader book games – I imagine this would kind of be like Choose-Your-Own-Adventure novels. But the problem with those old books was that they were short and not interactive enough. But with all that space on a Kobo or Kindle, you can do so much more. -
