Crackpots Atari.
It was a game about throwing vases on the spiders that were climbing the wall to attack whoever was in the top.
Briefing
To do a remake of it today, first of wall it'd have to make plenty of use of the oculus rift! ftw, then it needs massive giant hairy tarantula spiders along with many other types of spider and of course the spider queen and the terrifying spider goddess attacking you and your co-op team from all sides, including the underground and even the sky, those damn nasty jumping spiders!
And as an upgrade for the outdated but heavy vases, you now control thorn vines, death seeds and carnivore flowers, making full use of your newly acquired nature elemental power up! Or choose another of the several mighty classes which will grant you an incredible amount of power to annihilate the spider threat and defeat the spider goddess and its minions once and for all!
Stages:
Crackpots 2 will take you to battles all over the world be it town or country, amazingly dense cities with full destructive environment or vast fields and dark forests, in the middle of the ocean on oil platforms or airborne where you will put your wings to good use versus the mutated air-spiders.
You wil see entire buildings going down while spreading dust and debris everywhere in a very Battlefield style. These buildings were infested of spiders and couldn't withstand it. You also took the chance to throw your thorn vines around the concrete structure, like a whip from indiana jones, smashing it all along with the spiders inside it which are already finding their way out through every breach they could find while creating more with their sharp fangs and claws.
Classes:
You will be able to select from a variety of skills and classes including mixing them together to create your unique mix with the best skilsl you can master plus full character customization.
Beastmaster allows you to control several wild beasts such as saber tooth tigers, wolves golden eagles, snakes and crocodiles to fight by your side along with any other wildbeast you think of.
Nature elemental will give you the power to summon magic elemental creatures, be it a stone golem, fire, water, wind or tree creature.
Shapeshifter allows you to take the form of a werewolf, bear, tiger or even demons and start riping spiders apart along wth your friends since the game has a fully featured online and lan co-op mode!
Necromancer is the mage who masters the dark arts making it possible for him to take control over long dead creatures even dinossaurs, ressurecting their skeletons as your minions.
Warrior as the top melee and close combat damage dealers, which posses a huge variety of weapons at their disposal being able to equip blunt weapons such as heavy maces and hammers or sharp and fast swords, dualswords, daggers and dual daggers, each one of them with its specific masteries and specialties.
Archers deal dame by using their long range tools of war, the powerful energy bows which is fueled by their very inner energy and can hit several spiders with one single shot, immedially setting the spiders it hit on fire.
More classes and skills coming soon on the planned expansion pack. xD
The spiders:
Spider-Ggoddess: the top entity and ruler of all spiders and revered by them all, she seeks the ultimate domination over the entire galaxy.
Spider-Queen: Came to power after defeating its former competitorsfrom the several spider nests throughout the planets conquered by the spiders.
Spider chimeras: spiders mixed with captured humans, a terrible feat indeed.
Underlings: all the other spiders giant and tiny which are under full control of their respctive queen and follow her every order.
