For the actual gameplay style, I think a run and gun game with RPG elements would be the best genre, since those are some of the most commonly loved games on the forum.

The main character clearly needs to be RGT-tan, and she can be upgraded with power ups based on various pieces of video game hardware. For example: the SEGA Master System 3D Glasses could give her laser vision.

The game takes a structure of having cities that you run and gun through to save them from the evil TakeDown Gang, who is trying to take everybody’s games. When you save a town, you can walk around and talk to people. Different prominent figures of the forum (like Spike, Waffles, and Yosef) become shopkeepers for each town, that you can use to buy special items to help you in the next stage.

Can I be a useless NPC that adds nothing to the story, like this guy from Zelda 2?

This guy is in every town and just spurts famous video game quotes every time with no reason behind it. Eventually at the end of the game, if you’ve talked to him in every town, he tells you the secret that he’s got tons of brothers who look just like him and they’ve been impressed by you. He will then gift you the ultimate item in the game.
 
my idea: don't
It may not get finished (most commonly it wouldn’t) and it’s also important to not get too attached.

But also, the site rides a fine line. The reason we all need to have an account to use the repo now is because the site got into hot water previously with Nintendo (or other sites did and RGT’s heads chose to be more careful). As such, the site is KINDA trying to not be noticed, while also having people come here. Like I said: it’s a fine line.

The worry about a takedown is the reason this site went from Romancing CDs to Talking Retro Games.::nervous-prinny

That said, I don’t think it’s bad to theory craft a potential game. Might be a fun creative exercise! And if an actual game DOES miraculously get made, it could be a fun in-joke for site regulars.
 
Who is that or what is that or where is that or WTF? ::thinking lolol

Unofficial, but officially endorsed site mascot that was originally made by the user known as Sayo. She has whole threads dedicated to art of her under the Art section of the forum.

Her character is up to interpretation, but the consistent thing is that she has SEGA Master System 3D Glasses usually.

It would be great to create pixel art of that character and feature it alongside the site's logo during a special occasion, such as a holiday, anniversary, or themed celebration. This could enhance the visual identity of the event while engaging the community through nostalgic and creative design.

someone should make a mario maker version of RGT-tan. i can only draw her incredibly voluptuous or chibi.

Then the story of the game: One day for some reason RGT members dissappear so RGT-tan investigates it and it turns out every member are stucked into a video game level waiting to be rescued with a twist!!! The evil power who trapped them turned them into bosses of the levels they are stucked so RGT-tan ike ike to rescue!!! For example I may be a Silver Surfer's boss on NES who throws random BS as attack lolol.

It's okay, we can make this game this website only. No one would care about an inside joke game as long as the shit ain't too good. It can be a simple game like my web browser RGT shmup game lolol:
