  Just for pure insanity value, I wonder how many copies of an old 8 bit game you could run at once. Maybe you could run them like an ensemble model. All randomness in every game unique and user input delayed by 0-25ms on all of them. Instead of losing a life you lose a parallel copy, specifically one of the ones you died in. The display shows them overlaid all at once.

    I once tried to combine Pong with Tetris. The paddle would be a tetris field, so you'd be playing that as usual, but also moving it up and down to bounce the ball. The idea of putting games inside each other like that appealed for a while. I could imagine running snake inside the "dots" of pacman, and other simple things for example. Controlling them would be a nightmare, but it's a fun experiment to imagine the games that would go well inside each other. Defender in the logs floating in frogger, for example?

      That reminds me of AGDQ runs where someone used one controller to control few games at once, it was helluva impressive.
