I have come up with an idea for a computer game that would appeal to us track designers. You start off with a bunch of fictitious cities and plots of land. You choose one and the local government gives you certain criteria the track you design must meet, such as the number of turns, the length, the types of turns, and other things needed to build a track. You start off with a certain amount of money out of your own pocket, but if need be, you can loan money from the local banks. After placing the tracks, along with grandstands, big screen TVs, pedestrian bridges, and other amenities, you must set ticket prices, merchandise prices, and try to get advertising space on TV, radio, and newspapers. If you want, you can participate in each race you set up.
You make money by designing a great track, attracting enough fans, and selling enough merchandise. You must pay back any loans you took out from the banks. If you can make a profit, you pass that scenario, thus opening up more challenging challenges. As a bonus, by completing all of the scenarios, you can replay them with no building or money restrictions.
Think of it as RollerCoaster Tycoon, but instead of designing theme parks, you are desinging tracks, promoting the event, and take part in the race (if you want). What do you all think?
