On the wacky side, South Park might offer some interesting opportunities

Let's see, what else... I think I said this before but I think El Topo (an old cult movie from a deranged Latinamerican director) would make a terrific adventure game.
Oh, Mad Max! Could be an RPG similar to Fallout... COOL
Of course, how could I forget. Rael's story, from the 70's Genesis record The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, would make a perfect adventure game!

You have gotten the attention of the mysterious lady. She turns to face you. Her face is devoid of any flesh. You are frozen with horror as she begins ripping your body into a bloody mess.

I agree I LOVE The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, I think its absolutely brilliant and would make a great adventure.
I saw them do it live in the 70's and have to say its one
of the best concerts I have ever been to, I think Peter
Gabriel is a musical genius.

If I recall, Poirot despised Holmes and his methods. It probably would have irked him that Sherlock has been the subject of a number of games, and so far, he hasn't. I'd like to see a Poirot game as well, but the fact that the Arthur Conan Doyle's stories are in the public domain but most of Agatha Christie's novels aren't yet probably makes a difference as to feasibility. Although I think the first Poirot novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, has become public domain material, but I'm not quite sure about that.

You saw them LIVE?? Live, like in a scenario, all of them, playing The Lamb with Peter dressed in weird costumes?? :'( Why, oh, why I wasn't born in the 60's...

The answer may well be "that depends on where you are" because the copyright law is not consistent across the world.
For one thing, while the copyright terms for new works are the same in EU and US of A, the US extended the length retroactively (someone ought to be shot for that!) but EU didn't.
Just today I read a story that the copyright on 50's recordings is expiring in the EU (after 50 years) but not the US and how RIAA is up in the arms about that (how predictable).
Note that for books the terms are different. I'm not sure about this but I have a feeling that books published before 1923 might be PD now - but don't quote me on that.

Status : Online | Understand about copyrights, but it seems to me that HerInteractive made a deal with the copyright owner of Nancy Drew. Could be wrong. Still, I would love to see games based on the mysteries written by Joan Hess, Sue Grafton and Richard Kellerman - all living authors. And Agatha Christie.

And it was wonderful! I have seen the original Genesis 3 times, and all at a small theater called the Allen, it only seated about 500 so it was great no matter where you sat.
I was born in the 50's, think I was about 16 the first time I saw them.

I agree. I had totally forgotten about Hercule. That's what happens with creeping senility. But he is a delightful detective and I don't think we need another Sherlock Holmes (which is sort of like doing Egypt again). kay

Status : Online | There was a thread vaguely similar to this a while ago, I'll give the same answer
I've always wated a game based off Ken Kesey's classic novel "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". It would have a GK3 style interface, except it would have the Goblins-like feature of being able to switch between any of the patients at any time. The game would be divided up into chapters which give you alternating control of the hospital administration and the patients (sorta like GK2)
The graphics and sound would be an integral part in the game. If you play as some of the sicker patients, you see hallucinations and hear sounds that aren't actually there. If you're the Chief, you see fog rolling in and out (just like the book). The hallucinations would have to be extraordinarily creepy to make the player sympathize with the patients. Playing as the stutterer (Billy Bibbit I think his name was...) you have to repeat yourself many times before the listener comprehends you. Chief can't talk at all at the beginning. You get the point. The sane charaters (Randall and the Nurses have none of these problems).
