Zikten 05/13/24 6:16:53 PM #1:	A fighting game like Street Fighter (1 on 1 tournament battles) where the roster is made up of all the presidents of the United States history. To lessen controversy, I would say maybe restrict the roster to only presidents who have died. So nobody too recent. I wonder if this game would be a hit or not. <cite>Zikten posted [p:980379258] in Are US pre...

Solar_Crimson 05/13/24 6:22:31 PM #6:	I had a similar idea to this, some time after the 2016 election. The plot involved time travel (but of course), with Hilary Clinton from an alternate timeline where she won the 2016 election as part of the roster, and the main villain was an extraterrestrial President from the far future who is trying to take over all of time. --- "Be good to yourself, because everyone else in the world is probably out to get you." - Dr. Harleen Quinzel <cite>Solar_Crimson posted [p:980379363] in Are US pre...
