Good idea for a game

[X123]

Here is a good idea for a game:

Your mission is to obtain the windows source code. You will complete missions all over the world and more. You will be armed with a laptop (with linux on it) and some automatic weapons.

Who wants to make a game about this?

If anyone does then here are some ideas for the levels:

Microsoft HQ (Well duh)
Bill Gates' mansion
FBI HQ
A secret Pacific Island base run by microsoft

[Pissed_Macman]

Sort of a nerdy James Bond?

My game involves 3 of the 4:
Some evil baddass's mansion
CIA HQ
Random Island run by evil badass.

If you substituted "Bill Gates" for Evil Badass, you'd love my game

Your plan assumes Microsoft source code is valuable, that is highly debatable.

How about your mission is to remove windows from every computer in the world, and destroy the source code, and every other binary copy.

I like this one better.  The back could say "rid the world of evil, destroy windows.  But it cannot be destroyed by any means we here posess.  It was made in the dark chasms of MS HQ in redmond, only there can it be unmade"

OK, that is a blatant copy from Lord of the Rings, not a quote, but a copy.  But you get the idea.

Not true. I'm sure Microsoft has copies of the source code in different countries in safes and what-not.

i would think that to but after using windows at my school i don't really think they have that in them..

It doesn't have to be realistic, you guys. It's a game. The character could have different weapons, like the Tux Bomb or something.

The Tux Bomb eh? Maybe a virus carrying a barebones kernel and small fat32 file for working space that erases windows from the computer and downloads linux components?

[Calum]

still, i don't think i could get personally involved in the storyline if the aim was to get windows' source code. who wants that anyway?

Well if you show it to the public then microsoft will lose a lot of money and people wil find out that microsoft has been spying on them.

[Calum]

what you mean the real source code? i thought this was just a game. also i doubt people would be able to find the spyware in the windows source code all that easily. you are assuming it's all neatly commented and all the functions are called sensible names and so on. remember who you are talking about.

No, I mean a physical bomb that looks like a penguin that can be dropped on targets from the air.

[calum-with-none]

My story line is better, because I rule.

Have it you can play as Tux.

You have a big rocket launcher.

Lots of guns.

The most gory graphics.

And have a wolfenstien style fight with a robotic bill gates at the end. (Of cource not Wolfensine style graphics).

Actually, it would be a nice nethack mod.
