basically , a classic top-down scrolling shootemup, Armed police batrider style, with google maps as the background .Lets you fight waves and waves of enemy over whatever part of america you like.
ideally would let you change altitude whilst flying in any direction (zoom in and out) not sure if this
would be possible to do both at the same time).

See for yourself. If your smart you'll guess it first try. Crappy picture, but you'll get the point. (Hint: RICH!!!) [KoolKat2500, Jul 01 2005]

//Armed police batrider//
Imagines a tiny Sting saddled precariously atop a vampire bat, ricocheting about the violet night sky, the bat squeaking and and Sting blasting away with an appropriately resized handcannon. |

Why restrict yourself to America? |
|
| |
I'd love to fight in the skies above Chiswick, Chester, or Basingstoke but google maps uk has a poo level of resolution. will there be a google maps japan? |
|
| |
If I was fighting above Basingstoke, I'd be continually distracted by the urge to bomb it! Would Google Maps Japan include dynamic location update for Godzilla and the rest of the giant beasties? |
|
| |
I would like to bomb Hull. Just for a laugh , like. |
|
| |
Great idea. Just change the title from "google maps" to "satellite photo maps". Google's great, but it's not like they took the photos, or will be the only or best one to do so in the future. |
|
| |
Did Hull ever do anything do you?
This sounds like something that a terrorist would use as training. |
|
| |
Bomb Slough, let the ghost of John Betjeman rest. |
|
| |
No, absolutley nothing wrong with Hull. I could have quite easily said Wrexham, Newton-le-Willows or Harrogate. I just wish they would hurry up and make google maps uk higher resolution, so in the GAME it is possible to target specific buildings with minimum risk of collatoral damage. |
|
| |
Hull, the mortal enemy of Grimsby. I don't know why. |
|
| |
Lighten up a bit [hidden truths]. If you take a look at the first link it'll become obvious that this could never be a terrorist training tool...until they all fly giant rocket ships anyway. |
|
| |
Dark version: visit Dresden in a Lancaster. |
|
| |
Now that Google has released its map API, there's all sorts of fun to be had (link). |

I had similar thoughts when reading about google's idea. Not only terrorists, but it would be great for invasion planning as well. |

pilots briefing room - projector pulls up Google Maps and Da Briefer takes out her laser pointer to mark electrical, water, television, etc. infrastructure.
"ok ladies, get some rest and we fly at 0400." |
|
| |
It isn't as though I am against random destruction. That would be crazy talk. I am questioning the idea of bombing real places (and I do realise that this originated in the anno's rather than the idea). |
|
| |
I haven't quite figured out why but I have a strong feeling that Cornwall deserves bombing. |
|

"Lets you fight waves and waves of enemy over whatever part of America you like" |
|
| |
Fill America with imaginary enemies and then declare war on them? Baked, George Bush has done that for years. |
|
| |
On the whole the idea has merit, and the game would be fun... if you like that sort of thing. |
|
| |
Have to agree though that it wouldn't be much good for a terrorist training tool; certainly no more effective than simply using Google Local today the way it is. |
