Computer Game Sequels

I was arsing about on social media instead of writing a book so I wrote some ideas for sequels to successful computer games. When I went down town to mooch around instead of writing a book I bought a USB game controller from a charity shop for £2.99. The two things weren't connected I don't think, but if they were then I oughta've written about Aria Pro II bass guitars. Oh well.


  • Reverse Tomb Raider: Lara has to go to all the UK museums and grab all the stuff that's been nicked from other countries, and then repatriate them.

  • Sonic's Aftermath: Sonic has to go on community service and return all the rings to the clouds that he nicked them from on his feral, Sunny D-fuelled rampage.

  • Jet Set Willy's Divorce: Jet Set Willy and his wife decide to split up due to clear incompatibility, and they hire a cleaner to get the house in order before selling it and downsizing in separate new flats.

  • Tekken Mediation Add-On: the combatants sit around a table with their foes and some trained negotiators, each having space and time to calmly explain their issues. Then, they realise how much they have in common and embrace their differences whilst celebrating their shared bonds. They go their separate ways and spread this new-found insight to engender an open-minded and loving society.

  • Grand Theft AutoReplace: each car stolen is actually done so to replace it with a more eco-friendly electric vehicle, and/or a bicycle, with the owners compensated accordingly.

  • Untitled Goose Game: The geese's rage is shown to be at the environmental vandalism that humankind has wrought. Humans finally take note and re-wild huge areas, whilst moving to a sustainable economy. All geese then become friendly and approachable.

  • Micro Machines - Antivax Edition: All the micro machines are destroyed by deranged QAnon followers who believe the cars are merely vehicles for Bill Gates to inject them with mind-control chips.

  • DOOM, Sparky Update: You are contracted as an electrician whose task is to fix the lights properly. All the monsters are revealed to be jobbing acting graduates desperate for their break in showbiz. You shoot them anyway, because they won't leave you the fuck alone.

  • The Sims Unionise: Your power to control any aspect of the Sims' lives is challenged by a well-read and determined union. The Sims refuse to work under your all-encompassing rule, and you are ousted in favour of a democratically-elected representative decision-making committee. Their first act is to remove all cameras from the houses, streets and other places, and to build proper roofs and walls in their homes.

  • Worms Disarmament Treaty: The worms mutually agree to turn their weapons factories into craft workshops, affordable housing and social spaces for all; the weapons are melted down to help create quantum computers and thrust research forward for all wormkind.
