I had this idea about making a Worldwar-type NES (for those who don't know, Worldwar is a series of books written by Harry S. Turtledove in which a race of lizard-like aliens come to Earth in the middle of WWII with the purpose of conquering it and adding it to their star-spanning empire), in which the world is divided in several warring nations and suddenly a very advanced alien species drops in the world in small numbers in order to capitalize on the state of war. Natives would have the advantage of numbers and the aliens would have the advantage of technology, but as time passes the natives would be able to learn the technology and more reinforcements would come from space for the aliens.
What do you think?

It's interesting. I maintain that if aliens wanted to conquer the planet they'd just bombard it from orbit but it sounds like a nice idea. If Back to Our Roots doesn't see a continuation, count me in.
Would anyone be interested in a Napoleonic-era NES? I've been thinking of starting something of the sort soon, but I want to know if anyone is interested first.
I am looking for all the political junkies out there, perferably those with strong opinion because I am working on a political simulation game where players are trying to run the government of a nation that echoes the United States. Players are no longer nations, but politicans vying for the throne. So is anyone interested?
Well, you could go with the whole players being fledgling nations in a post-apocalyptic world. Have such things as finding water resources, not-too-irradiated land, raiders to deal with, militants to deal with, etc. etc.
Also you could allow for the players to take on races like Ghouls (those horribly irradiated and turned into zombie-types, if you follow Fallout's SCIENCE! rather than real science) or humans. Will they be a more peaceful type or more militant, etc. etc.
