You should have an arcade, and each of the machines has a different game and an invisible button in front of it. (diff text, too) each one teleports you to that game.

Do you need an idea on what to do for the certain retro games?

I would do that, but I am doing an obby, so the games are the summits.

yes please

I will do that!
also just edit things into your last post as it creates clutter to make a ton of posts

I think mario would work, but pac man would need to be multiplayer and breakout would need moving parts (unless you play as the ball) Tetris would work but it would take a lot of memory, and galaga would be pretty much impossible.

A REFERENCE IMAGE OF TETRIS:

let me have my moment–

Mario I know will work
Pac-man I’m doing animation and same with the others, while you parkour through them

they already climb over mid-air blocks, the image I showed was the ending of Tetris, but I will add the score thingy

OHH, so your passing through the games, not actaully playing them. mb

for tetris you can make it so you have to climb over midair blocks and then over the score (just because we hate the fourth wall)

For sonic, you can do a grassy area with hills

For Donkey Kong, you can run up the little platforms and jumps from the barrels.

For Frog, you can cross the street and jump from the logs.

you could do one of those old text roleplaying games, but you platform over the text (so pretty much zork)

While those are good games, dis it retro (old games) so you could do old zelda games

A simple yet effective idea for gimkit(meaning should be accomplishable) would be Atari’s “Astroids” from 1979. The player as the spaceship, and time prob animations with sentries involves as the UFO’s.

Add Pokemon Red & Blue


Why should you add Pokemon Red & Blue?
Because that’s where Zapdos was first released, that’s why.

sure

add Pokemon moves that you need to avoid

I love the idea, but would I just make, like parkour over Pokemon from red & blue?
