No, but I remember the Nintendo game Circus (no unicycling, but an
addictive game)

I don't remember that game but...

Can you think of any ideas on what a new unicycling video game might
have?

I'm considering putting together a computer game teaser for an
assignment I have to do next year. I'll be aiming for an exciting
compilation of extreme unicycling videoes, 3D animations, in-game
graphics and original music.

Basically, I'm after any ideas or opinions you guys might have on what
you'd want out of an XBOX/PS2/PC unicycling game?

I would also want to be able to explain any outstanding features like
unlocking new tricks, online multiplayer action and customizeable
unicycles and characters.

Which styles of UNIing would you most want to play?

Hands up who wants to endorse it ;)

cheers
pete

there have been long discussions on the topic, i believe, use 'search'
and you'll find much discussion

I have alot of suggestions. First it should be set up like Tony Hawk pro
skater so you can choose you player and be able to unlock new
levels/tricks. Also you should be able to choose between a muni and a
street/trials/feestyle mode. In the Muni mode it could basiclly be a
race against either a computer player or another person. To unlock a new
level you would have to beat the computer player in the previous level.
In the street/trials/freestyle mode you would do tricks to earn points.
These tricks could be freestyle or street/trials tricks. Trick combos
could earn you more points and levels could be unlocked by winning
competitions.
These are just some of my ideas. I would be awesome if you could make a
game. I still have nitendo64 but I would definately by a new console if
a uni game came out.

Jagur probably means the top result of this one (link takes you to

[one wheeled stallion]

Ok, definately go for a Tony Hawk's type setup and maybe choose which
disciplines you would do.

There must be someway of representing the challenge of moving, rather
than just pushing 'Forward'. Controlling how far you lean into both
corners and jumps would be important, as well as your angle of takeoff.
And also pre-hops etc etc. I suppose hitting harder obstacles on a Muni
course would get you more points and also how you get over them. Same
with Trials I guess. Freestyle would be slightly different I suppose, as
you don't really have anywhere specific to get to, you'd just be able to
do tricks in a hall or something!

Once points are earned, new parts could be bought and also new moves,
like mounts etc. More points should be earned depending on which foot is
forward for hopping etc. But jump height and balance should be something
that progresses according to how much jumping or rail riding or still
standing your character does- not simply bought with points.

There could be novelty rounds where you have to ride giraffes to save
children from burning buildings etc! Maybe a hockey tournament to
unlock?

One concern though- would there be many characters to choose from??

Instead of your basic tony hawk style video game, you should have a
matrix-style uni/action/adventure game with guns and stuff. This would
be DA BOMB!

You could be wall-ridding matrix style while shooting bad guys with your
uzi's and then dismount to beat them up with your uni.

I dreamt of something similar.....

Hey! How come you don't mention the gamecube!?

I'd rather play it in the comfort of my basement than in the awkwardness
of my kitchen.....

[muniracer]

in one of the other threads about this same topic, it was argued that
such a game might be bad because it would not represent the difficulty
of riding and doing tricks (tony hawk does same for skateboarding) but
think of how many kids would want a unicycle for christmas after playing
this game for the first time...

I agree it was careless that you didn't initially include a reference
to the thread you meant. But I'll forgive you.

Yeah. i was more of a Nintento 16bit man myself.

Bomberman, Bubble Bobble, Paperboy, Double Dragon, Tecmo Bowl, and the
like. I was part of a generation of nurtured social-activity deprived

subject of several physological studies.
