I’d love to see a modern take on the classic Spy vs Spy games from the spectrum days. These were side scrolling 1vs1 where you had to solve puzzles to find all the pieces of an escape helicopter or boat before the other player. You could set traps to try and kill your opponent.

I’d love to see an FPS twist on this. Think of an extended Gulag, where it’s just you and the enemy. You can still set traps, but you could also bring in some hide and seek gameplay. Balance the game with gadgets found around the map like radar or thermal imaging goggles.

There could be multiple maps to vary it up, and it could even be extended to have more than just 1vs1. Potential for an esport classic.

This is my beautiful Television VCR combi that I’ve had since my 15th Christmas, 25 years ago. I always wanted a TV for my own room so I could play Final Fantasy VIII without being interrupted.

Whilst the TV side of things has long since been deemed dead due to the switch off of analog TV transmission in the UK, the VCR still works which allows me to rewatch childhood memories in their original form, and I use it every weekend to play my PS1 and my SNES for some nostalgia gaming.

For me it’s the Gizmondo. At a time when handheld gaming was the Gameboy (or my runner up in this very category the Nokia Ngage), the Gizmondo promised graphics well ahead of anything on the market - 3D graphics, mobile online multiplayer, GPS location based gaming…

I eagerly purchased one at launch for about £500, despite there being no real games available. There were promises of exciting by options including a Jenson Button branded racing game, and a 3D turf war game that uses your actual real world location to create boundaries and areas you control.

It was more than just a gaming device though, offering the ability to send and receive SMS, although no phone calling, and it could even be used as a sat nav device long before smart phones and apps were a thing.

Sadly the project was one of the biggest flops in technology history, with the founder being investigated for criminal activity, and the company going bust a few months after launch. There are some great YouTube videos about the whole saga here, from glitzy celebrity studded launch parties to burned out supercars, so instead of doing an inferior job of explaining the whole story I will share a link below so you can give these folks the well deserved views.

Despite the fact its potential was never realised, the Gizmondo has a fondness in my heart, and a permanent placement in my gallery of gadgets alongside my Barcode Battler and Nokia N-gage QD (the non-taco version).

The game itself is already visually fantastic, with live weather updates and excellently modelled airports for many cities around the world. Where I think the game can really benefit is creating an even more immersive world.

Mrs Damo is an aviation enthusiast so these ideas are what I think would ensure this game takes over the games room on a more permanent basis.

• Ground control jobs. The ability to play as a refuelling engineer, a luggage handler or a ground marshall. These all take place in an MMO environment where real FS 2024 pilots are carrying out their pre flight checks and waiting for their taxi to the runway.

• Flight attendant roles. Again in an MMO environment, your role is to look after the passengers on the plane. There could be events occurring such as people becoming disorderly, entertainment devices not working or annoying kids kicking seats!

• An aviation photographer mode. I know we have photo modes and the ability to take screenshots whenever. But turn this into a real role within the game. You need to choose your airport, pick the best spot and try to capture the best images of real players taking off, landing and taxiing. These can then be shared in a portal, or sent to the pilots and flight attendants on the planes. There could be specific challenges, or scrap books to complete, like a passport with stamps for different airports or carriers.

Great question and some great ideas from others here.

I was watching the Platform32 YouTube channel as he played Dragons Dogma in a sponsored video. I’ve been on the lookout for a less toxic challenger to Reddit so thought I would check this out.
