I share your fascination with it. I’ve long since decided that my tastes in video games are not representative, alas—if they are, then there are hundreds of million-dollar bills lying around on the game industry floor. I used to passionately write up lists of ideas for how to modify existing games (or make new ones) that would be SO AWESOME. I’d even have sub-lists of ideas that could be implemented in, like, a day. Now I usually don’t bother.
(That said, sometimes my ideas do get implemented, and players do like it, so… (In PS2 in particular, I had been hoping for sky carriers, alerts, and construction before they happened. One thing I’d been hoping for that hasn’t happened, alas, is two-way battles. Like what they did with Server Smash, only more regular and official. Well, I guess when they did Server Smash that was another instance of my wishes being fulfilled.)
