#JudgeDredd: It's often stated that Mega-City One is as much a character as any of the people in it, so it would be best if we could really explore the city. Maybe do some sort of open-world game, a bit like #GrantTheftAuto but from the cops' point of view, where Dredd metes out penalties for any crime he comes across, no matter how minor. The main story should probably involve taking down a pro-democracy movement that is funding itself with proceeds from crime.

#StrontiumDog would work as an #ActionRPG. It would be best not to adapt any particular storyline - instead, write a new story, but with side-missions where Johnny hunts down various bounties. Maybe it could be squad- or party-based so the player can also recruit Wulf, Gronk, Middenface, Durham Red, Maeve the Many-Armed, Spud Murphy... heck, since 2000AD games tend to be in their own continuities, might as well give us Feral Jackson.

(Yes, I think Feral was a decent character)

#RogueTrooper already has Quartz Zone Massacre, which is decent but not amazing. Do something like that again, but give it a bit more time in the oven. (And it should have motion controls, because this is the 2020s).

I feel like #NikolaiDante would work as a #TacticalRPG in the vein of #FireEmblem, #FinalFantasyTactics, or #TriangleStrategy. The story will probably diverge at least a bit from the comic, since the great loss Dante suffers towards the end is amazing storytelling but not great for gameplay.

Might as well throw in a matchmaking mechanic, and Dante doesn't HAVE to end up with Jena.

#DeathPlanet would work as a #Civilization-style strategy game. It would be a sequel to the original comic, and task the player with settling a hostile planet.

#SinisterDexter is perfectly suited for a #GTA-style game, though I imagine with a bit less driving and a bit more on-foot action.

#Kingdom's ending was pretty shit, I guess because Dan Abnett wanted to move on to other stuff. So let's have ourselves a sequel. Kingdom lends itself well to hanck-and-slash gameplay, so let's slaughter a bunch of Them.

#TheBalladOfHaloJones and #TheOut could both work as scifi versions of #Shenmue. No idea how to implement that, but I figure it's worth considering.

#TheLeopardFromLimeStreet isn't 2000AD but Rebellion owns it, so they might as well try. The obvious source on inspiration is the PlayStation #SpiderMan games; if that's too obvious, I think it would also lend itself to stealth or parkour style gameplay.

#Skysurfing offers another possibility for a game. Basically, it would be a snowboarding game, but you're flying. The meat of the game is competing in races, with extra points awarded for stunts, and occasionally have to avoid attention from the Judges. Between races, you have to do courier jobs to make extra money, some of which are illegal.

Chopper should be in it, but not as a main character. Instead, the player would be a rookie looking to make a name for themselves, with Coppper as mentor.
