Dave I'm sure whatever you come up with will be hilarious.
it's a mugging simulator.
"Transit Rider"
You control a hapless commuter who is riding (Muni) into work. Your commuter has a pleasure meter. Goal is to max out the pleasure meter on the ride to work before your final stop. This will be hard though, since by virtue of the commute the meter will be going down constantly. If your meter goes to zero, you become a commuter zombie. You can prevent your meter from going to zero by performing the following actions:
* staring at the hot chick on the train,
* grabbing a seat (but don't knock over granny doing it!)
* getting on without paying fare (adds pleasure cuz you will have money for lunch and the thrill factor)
* surreptitiously eating a donut that you carried on board (don't get caught!)
You lose pleasure points if (just a sampling):
* You are standing and squeezed in like a sardine
* Someone stinky sits next to you
* You stare too long at the hot chick and her boyfriend berates you
* Crazy person starts acting crazy (and you don't move to the other side of the train)
Variants or sequels to Transit Rider, using the same basic premise include:
"Coach Class Flyer"
"Checkout Stand Queueing"
"Elevator Rider"
I think the airplane ride version would be pretty cool - I can think of a lot of problems I've had on flights recently - sick passengers - late flights - no seat room - dang.
Navigate Alan Greenspan through a room full of strippers, tipping each $1, while avoiding Andrea Mitchell. You lose ("failed monetary policy") if you tip the same stripper twice, or if you run into Mitchell, who performs a Mortal Kombat-style finishing move on you.
