Of course this copies (slightly differently) what was in my original post. Which makes this in fact the wittiest contribution so far - what am I gonna do, sue you? You could always claim "fair use"

Fallout - Improve your cubby-house's safety by installing rails, non-slip carpet or perhaps safety nets below. Can you stop people falling out of the cubby house?

1111! Pawned!!! How about a Myst style puzzle game in which you simply have to decipher l337 speak. That would be as challenging, and as unpleasant, as the original Myst.

The irony is delicious.
Of course, my idea is the polar opposite of yours. I did remember you posting the game so checked to make sure I wan't merely duplicating yours. Besides, the original idea has been "abandoned" by its owner, so is now public domain.

Don't give Skanky too much credit for his usual Skimsying.

Remember the movie "White Nights" about a Russian emigre dancer who gets caught back in the USSR through a plane crash and is exiled to the Arctic? With the implicit play on "white knights" and the racial elements (his handler is a black American tap dancer who left America during Viet Nam and is married to a Russian woman). Wouldnt White Knights be a more "obvious" title for a medieval fantasy RPG than Never Winter Nights? (of course the name "Neverwinter" is from the preexisting DnD Forgotten Realms World)
