A Game I'd Like to See
A 16-bit styled non-combat RPG where you travel the town searching for pool halls and players to beat. "Battles" would consist of playing pool against opponents; with special moves and everything. There'd be no direct path to take in the game, but your actions would build a reputation and different story-lines would open as a result. You could take the route of good or evil (hustler), or you could go take on some poolhall junkies in the bad side of town or some pros in a big-league tournament in the posh side of town. An open-ended pool-based RPG..
Actually, I'd like to see any old school styled RPG, with rich characters and a well designed world, done without any combat. Yes, there's Harvest Moon -- but I'd like it to be more competitive and less about raising cows.

Dude, that's a cool idea for a game. The relationship-management aspect could be really interesting. Since most of the action would be taking place in bars, the influence of alcohol on your pool/social performance might be an interesting factor to include.

I wanted to make an old-school style RPG about being a shitted-upon grad student, where you can "fight" your way into tenured professorship and take control of the department.
But yeah, pool sounds good. Also poker.
