Friday Freebee™! – Crimas Time
02 months ago
(C) 2005-2011, 1988 Games
Just in time for the holiday season, 1988 Games has yet another vulgar and exciting concept for all of the kiddies to sink their thumbs into. Jump in the role of Santy Clause as you unwrap a tongue-in-cheek Christmas adventure originally designed for the PlayStation®2/PSP®. Though casually pitched to several publishers at the time for a larger-scale production, Crimas Time!! remains yet another great idea that could easily be transitioned onto tablets and mobiles!
Speaking of which… Hey SCEI®, you should ask us to make this for your new hand-held!
Friday Freebee™! – Super Action Cupid
03 months ago
(C) 2004-2011, 1988 Games
For all the shorty-luvs… This was 1988 Games’ magnum opus of romance and intrigue. Again, another design that was ahead of its time, and one that would work brilliantly for today’s mobile/tablet scene.
Super Action Cupid (2004)
Concept:
This is a puzzle game where players control a cupid angel who’s standing on top of an apartment building downtown and whose mission is to target and shoot pairs of people with his cupid arrows. Doing this successfully will bring said people together and they will form a romantic connection. Players will be rewarded with special bonuses and will eventually level up and move to a new location once they have met their love quota.
Friday Freebee™! – DS Ant Farm

(C) 2006-2011, 1988 Games
What was that? You wanted some more??
Back by popular demand is the Friday Freebee™ 7000 HD+. This time, we’re bringing you a game that was designed as a casual, easy-going title for the then up and coming Nintendo DS® platform. This game concept really capitalized on the uniqueness of the control methods available on the DS, and would have surely been remembered for instantly memorable gameplay. As always, yet another idea from the archives of 1988 Games that could easily be transformed onto today’s platforms.
DS Ant Farm (2006)
Friday Freebee™! – Super Loading Dock
03 months ago
Time for a giveaway!
As the years go on, 1988 Games accumulates a lot of ideas that end up in our intellectual property wine cellars. After a brief stroll through the vintages of 2004, we decided that it was time to share our wealth. As such, we present the first annual Friday Freebee (AKA: Steal This Game Design) submission; open to ye public!
This mini-design – an initial design step that precedes a full-blown document – is for a game that we originally envisioned as a miniature puzzle game based on a dock crane theme. Looking at it again, it is evident that it would be perfect for iPhone or iPad.
