Not to mention the exhausting balancing required to make all of the characters useful and fun. A fighting game seems really work intensive to do well.

I nominate Dinosaurs Micro, Giant, and Super; along with C. Kane, both the Marines, and Mr. Pepper.

In fact, we should just have a second game for Surlaw's characters.

I second Dinosaurs Micro and Giant.

I volunteer Tim-Tim, that brain on legs creature from said game that is my bane, and Cool-Guy Bob Surlaw.

I nominate Orange Monday and de-nominate my own guys unless the project is proven viable.

I nominate mega man, goku, and batman

I nominate you make it a wacky 1v1 Tournament with RPG mechanics, which will be A) Way easier to accomplish programming wise B) Way easier to accomplish graphics wise and C) More fitting to all of the characters involved.

I'm also follow Surlaw's example by pre-emptively un-nominating anything I've ever done. You guys are dumb.

The reply of Gizmog is very good. Instead of making a Smash Bros. or Tekken clone I'm going to try out a type of game wich is programmed with the OHR, but the battles will be walkabout based. It should have RPG elements and you are going to play as choosable characters in every round of a turnament like battle competition. Your character will fight against other OHR characters. But as some of you already said this game will need some time, because I'm mainly working on another project. This will only be a side project, so don't think it's out next month or something...

I second that Mega Man, Batman from RMZ's game (not the Mike Tyson one) and am having a hard time remembering a good appearance from Goku.

There were plenty of DBZ games around the turn of the millenium. Pick one!

Weird thing is that the ones I remember were from the PoV of Nappa and Vegeta and ended before Goku showed up.

I think I can only recall hearing about... maybe two actual DBZ games made using the OHRRPGCE? There was a really old one called "Assault of the Saiyans" or something like that, and then there was a much more recent one that I can't remember if it ever got a demo released or not. But yeah, if I'm remembering right they both seemed to focus on Nappa and Vegeta.

I guess it's possible that there were a ton of old DBZ games from waaaaaay back (like... late '90s, early 2000s, before Castle Paradox, so there's probably no record of them ever existing except in the memories of people who were downloading OHR games before 2003ish), since every time the topic of DBZ games or fangames in general comes up, everyone seems to use DBZ as the example of "series that had LOADS of bad fangames made for it."
I only really remember seeing a couple of them (Sailor Moon had just as many fangames as DBZ if not more, from what I remember)... but then, the only OHR-related forum I ever went on back then was the old "OHRRPGCE Help Me" board, I only ever downloaded a small handful of games, and the places to go to find OHRRPGCE games weren't quite as centralized and easy to find back then as they are now (a lot of them only existed on people's personal websites, not in big archives or anything)... so it would've been pretty easy for me to miss them.
