Drats!

One of my ideas has certainly been done already. My idea for a gangster game that was free roming has already been done. The game is called "Mafia" and it is listed as:

* 20 action-packed missions with subquests - Luxury and riches are yours for the taking, if you do as Don Salieri has requested. From mob hits and car chases to shootouts and more, complete the unsavory tasks the Family needs done and you will be handsomely rewarded. * Explore over 12 square miles of the 1930's American city, with simulated traffic, landmarks, and surrounding landscapes. * Convincing environments pull you into the 1930's with their attention to detail and style. From seedy bars and hotel rooms to train stations and airports – every location is rendered in fantastic detail by the 3D "LS3D" engine, such as the Lost Heaven International Airport and Chinatown. * Gun down enemies with classic mob weapons including machine guns, shotguns, and the famous molotov cocktail. * Drive over 60 vintage cars, roadsters and delivery trucks using the most realistic car physics ever made for a game.

Pretty much what I had in mind, so ...

I am tossing around between werewolves and Oz. Here is an interesting site for Oz information. Who knew how big the Oz universe was?
