Maybe create a slot machine with viruses on the wheels .... or vaccines.
Instead of coins you insert "life points".
... you know, the bank always wins.
(do not feel offended)


But - slot machines are for me -- as much interesting as a "coin flip"-game, never trusting the "hold" to actually hold exactly WHEN+fixedTime after you pressed.
As mini game in a "more complex" game yes - nice "distraction".

Well that was the idea for the one I built for Nags Heed Darts, I was going to have it where you won money as you progressed through the opponents in the tournament mode, which you could use on a bandit... Just a natural thing as it was based in a pub. I doubt I'd ever make another one.

I've just had a look at some CD's, here's a golden oldie I was going to chuck on iOS (But, erm, never! ), the auld faithful known as Croco Magneto (Attached)

For those that dont know it, move ball up and down, collect box things, dodge green things... Seems like I never put sound in at that point, but, the meat of the game is there!

God knows where the source has gone mind!

a "pub game"...
You might better evolve it into some "RPG-minigame" thing

Different pubs - different opponents.
Start with an "unsteady hand" (hard to hit the desired areas on the darts board)
Start with an "rebellious stomach" (hard to drink enough beer with lurking-around dudes so they agree to play versus you)
Earn XP in games which you can invest into "constitution" (beer) or specific sport skills ("steady hand" -> darts, "logic" -> billards, "eagle eye" -> slot machines)

Your mission? Master all the pubs, take part in official championchips (billard, dart, ... beer pong )

Oh, I did finish it Ron, had it on the app store, sold very well actually, made me a few beer tokens that one! lol

I'm quite enjoying looking at old stuff I've done, got odds and ends, little prototypes... Missing heaps though... Probably got chucked out when I got divorced! Hehehe
