It's kind of an odd question if you ask me; but, curiosity has gotten the best of me.
I believe with the limitations of the Screen Size, along with only 16 colors would limit what kind of games that can be created into CC. :)/> So I'm wondering if you guys can help me think of all the possibilities of games that can be created in CC?
:)/> Feedback appreciated!

I think retro games would be easy to make. Make a pathfinding API and recreate Pac-Man!

It doesn't neccesarily have to be an API, it can just be a function slapped into the game.
What is pacman going to be? A yellow dot? xD
I don't think that game would work out. :)/> Just being honest.

I recon people would definitely be able to implement RPG style games, and probably many retro games (I agree you could make pac man, tetris, space invaders, and many others I can't think of/have no idea about :P/>). The hard ones would be really complex games in terms of story line or graphics (Infinity Blade for CC! :P/>). Only simple things with simple graphics - or things that can be simplified without them loosing too much of their meaning (a good example of a game that can be simplified without it loosing its meaning is turning Minecraft from 3D into 2D -
Mineception). This is an interesting idea - testing the limits of how advanced a program for CC can be without it being slow/clunky/unusable.
I want someone to make Mario.

Haha! :D/> that would actually be fun to make one of these days. However, I have not had enough experience in the "Game making department" to be able to make some of the more advanced games. :)/> I believe modern games will be next to impossible to implement into CC… especially ones completely rounded around 3D gameplay.

Platformers, top down shooters, top down RPG games, and real time strategy games are all that I can think of.

I have made a few chance games. I think things like slot machines, card games, roulette, etc.. could all be made now that colors are added. Come to think of it, I have seen all of those except for Roulette. Can someone please make this?

:)/> Well converting your current games to Color wouldn't be that much of a challenge for some of us, if you just give us the pastebin ID I'd be willing to help out.

Haha! I might do that actually. :)/>
So many 8-bits can be implemented, not many modern though.

does bit represent the colours or the size of the textures?
I'm never quite sure… either way I don't think minecraft is actually 8 bit?
on topic, I think you can achieve most things with a bit of creativity and practice :P/>
the limitations only block you in some ways, for example you could make Mario but the screen would have the be zoomed in or Mario would have to be made up of 2 pixels.
strategy games are probably by far the easiest, followed by RPGs.
pokemon in CC would be fun! a lot of effort but very, very possible.

I always thought it was both.

It's not, haha. The textures are only made in the style of 8-bit games.

Looks more like an RPG. I'm talking like bullet hell style, flying through space, enemies coming from the top and sides, and explosions everywhere.
