TerraEarth: Absolute Mini-games. Suggestion time, people.

Okay, here is a complete list of all the mini-games and bonus activities
in TerraEarth: Absolute.

Fishing- Buy bait, fish at docks around the world. Fish caught can be sold or eaten from the menu to restore HP and MP.
>>>>>>Deep Sea Fishing- Upon catching the rare Nassima Catfish, you can go Deep Sea Fishing at Fisherman's Cove. Same rules, but better results.

Trading Card Game- That's right, there is a trading card game in TE:A. It's somewhat minimalistic: each set of three cards works in a triad which runs like rock-paper-scissors. However you can win special Rare Cards (featuring us guys) which can be traded for rare items, stat boosts and more.
>>>>>>>Southera Island- Upon beating any Trading Card Master and getting a Rare Card, you can visit Southerta Island and challenge the rarest of the rare card holders.

Mining- After helping out the boys at the Diamond Mine, you can mine yourself for rare gems which can be equipped as an accessory (example: Ruby boosts your Strength).

Blackjack- In Freejia and beyond, there are gambling dens where you can play blackjack. The rules of blackjack are the same as anywhere else.

Dice- Odds or Even and Sevens or Eleven are your two die rolling choices. These games are in the same gambling halls.

Russian Glass- In Watermia you can play the famous Russian Glass game.

Euro Theatre- Listen to stand-up, music, or even see a play! The Euro Theatre has it all!

RP Punch-Up- What would the game be without the famous arena punch-up. You can have duels, tournaments, survival mode or even go to one of three Battle Royale locations on the World Map!

Wine Trading- You can get involved in the wine trade. Wine restores MP, but collecting it has some of the best rewards!

Books- You can purchase books to read. So far these books will be my TE fanfictions and some other worthwhile stuff (although they will be serialized for simplicities sake.)

Achievements- Based on the XBOX360 Achievements and PS3 Trophies, you can earn achievements- special medals which recognize accomplishing unique tasks from the fairly obvious to the unbelievably complex. Collecting enough achievements makes good things happen.

Well that's pretty much it for now. Any other ideas?

EX Grade - Your performance in battle is graded each time you fight, and to prevent grinding, only the grades of 30 of the personal best fights are recorded initially. It can be used to unlock bonus items and dungeons. Later, the number of counted grades in fights can be upgraded to 50, then 75, then 90, and then finally, 100. Finding secret treasure can also help to further boost the grade.

Wow. That's ambitious, but I don't think that'd be easy to execute in RPG Maker VX. I'll certainly give it a shot, but I imagine if it does turn out, it'll be a tad simplistic.

No sweat.

Off the top of my head:

- Some kind of rhythm-based game.

- Shooting gallery.

- I dunno... some kind of whack-a-mole variant?

- Does the punchup game play kind of like Coliseum battles? If not, then... Coliseum battles. Maybe have 'single' and 'party' battles, you can wager shit and win other shit, etc.

I never said they were original ideas.

cream-a-cat

I've created a Flash version of the Chicken Races in the past. I didn't publish it because it never got finished properly. Although it does work.

I also started a basic version of Cream-a-cat and for those of you who remember, there used to be a Sky Garden memory game.

Perhaps fun to include some of the real Terranigma mini-games. So yeah.. cream-a-cat, chicken race, the eating contest thing, etc..

Prehaps a Trivia game? About random stuff, including games of yore, popular film, music, and the such. Doesn't have to be SBiF's mini game, either.

There's gonna be an eating contest on the Gold Saucer-esque Southerta Island.

Cream-a-cat? is that anything like whack a mole?

Also on Southerta Island is the trivia game show entitled "Factoid!" There will be close to 100 different trivia questions that are randomly chosen and you can star as a contestant as often as you wish. Of course you have to pay to play

Cream-a-cat is a mini game you can play in Liotto (Terranigma). There are a bunch of cat figures inside of a ring where you have to throw rocks at.

Get your Terranigma facts straight!

They also make the rock-throwing-sound when you throw them o.o
