I had a GREAT IDEA the other day for a fighting game of Street Fighter sort. All the combatants would be famous PHILOSOPHERS! F'rinstance, Socrates would be able to spew hemlock at his opponents, and Nietzsche would transvalue all values, whereby his health and his opponent's would be swapped, etc. I think this can't fail to be a success.

And the ultimate boss is ARCHIMEDES! He has a bunch of powers:

  1. Uses super LEVER POWERZ to MOVE TEH WORLD!
  2. Finely-ground lenses focus sunlight and BURN YER ASS!
  3. Big grappling-type thingies DROP SHIPS ON YOU!
  4. Measures your volume by SUBMERGING YOU IN WATER!
  5. High-powered mathematics BREAK YOUR BRANE!
  6. Ability to summon giant killer commie robots! <- MAY NOT BE 100% HISTORICIONALITY ACCURATE

As with all teh big bosses he has his weakness, of course. Try ERASING HIS PET CIRCLES and he'll temporarily DROP HIS GUARD! FLAWLESS VICTORY!
