Ok. I had a dream last night about a computer game called CITY ZEN (It is not
a real game) . You would choose what you wanted to look like, your job (You
would have to pick a job that the game thought it didn't have enough of, e.g.
you couldn't pick accountant if all of the accountant jobs were taken), age
(couldn't go below 9 yrs), height, weight etc. and you would get your own
character and have a job in this virtual city (CITY ZEN), house, family
(Optional), and car (Optional).....the city would have various commercial,
industrial, and residential establishments. You would play the chracter in
third person view (Something like in Tomb Raider with Lara Croft). The city
would look simple at first (Like Midtown Madness). You could do whatever you
want, but, if you do something bad (Go on a deadly rampage with your car)  you
would be kicked out from the game (Except in single player mode). You could go
online and play with other people all over the world (It would be the ultimate
Role-Playing game). If you died and a computer A.I. person touched you, you
would become that person. The game would come in 4 Cd's ( Character design,
Life editing, City 1 Cd, City 2 Cd). You could buy things and interact with
other characters, make friends, enemys, lovers.....It would be almost real
life except on your computer........

Tell me what you think.

(...) Wow. Creepy. Sounds great. Would you talk in writing too each other, or your own voice, or what? Could you just do anything? How?
