What would you play?

NonCon and I were talking about game mechanics last night, which got me to wondering, just what is there a market for that a small-timer could fill?

To put it this way, things like 3D shooters are pretty much dominated by the professionals, as is pretty much anything else in 3D of any note. That's not really what I'm asking about.

What I am asking about is stuff like first-person and top-down RPGs, point-and-click adventure games, side-scrolling platformers and fighting games, etc. Basically the stuff of yesteryear that's been making a tentative comeback lately. What would you like to see? How retro do you want it to look and sound?

This is just to sate my own curiosity, because I know what I want and I'm making it in my spare time. I'm just curious as to what (an albeit small sample of) the rest of the population is interested in that the indie market could offer.
