This could be the coolest game ever! Remember what a great show Sliders was? Four people with vastly differing personalities traveling to a new parallel dimension every week trying to get home. It had a natural episodic structure built into the premise, which also allowed them to try all kinds of different stories and even genres. The first three seasons had lots of high points; it jumped the shark when Professor Arturo died and was replaced by the sexxxy but braindead combat girl and the show became about fighting the Kro-maggs. If someone announces that they're making a game about Sliders, and the plot is fighting the Kromaggs, it'll suck. If they base it on the early seasons, it'll be great.
