How about basing it on a generic standup comedian. Game has everything from an old old 1001 one-liners book loaded in the memory. The guy feeds you a setup from the top of the stack and you have to accomplish something really difficult to hear the setup again and the punchline. If you can't do it the joke gets stored back in the joke stack maybe 20 or 30 jokes from the top so you have to wait for it to come around again. That would drive anybody nuts. Rest of the time he just makes smartass remarks like he would say to a heckler or like Family Guy type stuff. Every joke 'solved' is tossed from the stack so you don't have to hear it again. Just pray the NVRAM chip the memory is on never gives out and you have to start over! Eh who am I kidding, non-licensed games are DOA.
Quoted from Bowlingpin:I always thought The Three Stooges would make an interesting/fun theme. [quoted image]
Yeah, they're physical like a pinball machine, funny lines and name-calling instead of jokes, and timeless. Shemp would have to be included though or I wouldn't buy one.
