[QUOTE="GMMichael, post: 6324515, member: 6685730"] You didn't watch the original cartoon, but you still want to help it persist? You're a true fan. I watched most of the original episodes, but can't say I've ever thought about a video game for it. I'm a bad fan. Dragon's Lair (original) would be the ideal style of game for this, since it was a video game disguised as a cartoon. Or more accurately, a cartoon disguised as a video game. Next best choice: 2D side scroller. Sorry to downplay your 3D work. I can remember cut-scenes from the original cartoon that were usually in a 2D-scrolling format. So there's precedent. Skeletor's minions: I don't remember any. Beastman could summon mammals to help, Merman could summon sea creatures to help, Hordak had a "horde" (which I think was as non-existent as Skeletor's minions). It's highly possible that some cheesy robots were the closest thing that Skeletor had to minions. Note that the evil MOTUS never died. They just got beat up. So really, you could continuously throw the same baddies at the player, so long as more than one of the same name wasn't onscreen at one time. You might also check out GI Joe for NES. That game would let you select from several heroes for each mission, and each represented another "life" of the player. [/QUOTE]
