This time it is not a movie, that will be transformed into a video game, but a company. I think that we are long overdue for a NASA platform video game.
I know what you are thinking, not another space adventure game. There are plenty of those already, and they are way cooler when you have alien technology and weapons. This game would stray away from that format. It would be a mix between and awesome flight simulator and Myst.
Instead of fighting aliens with laser guns that melt your brain, you would have to solve puzzels and complete tasks to finish the game. You would start off as a cadet trainning to go into space. When you complete your training and get to an appropriate security clearance level, you find out that NASA has found reminants of life on the moon. You are going up in the next shuttle, but during the flight your ship suffers setbacks that you have to use your expertise to solve.
Also, depending on what puzzles you were able to solve during training you would have different tools to help you once you are on the mission. You can be a scientist, engineer, or pilot. Each has benefits and skills that will help you solve different problems on the space craft. Once you get to the moon, that is where the game takes a turn from reality, and you learn that the moon used to support alien life. You find and underground temple, and learn a back story. The actions you take will give you several different endings.
In the end your goal would be to go home. What would ad to this games aura is if the technology and music in the game were from the 1960's. That could add a creepy retro feel to the game. Ultimately, just as with Myst, the storyline would have to be really good, and this would be a largely puzzle solving game. It would even make a good Iphone app.
