Erm, I can't tell exactly what you're asking. If you want a game with a lot of mini-games, play Mario Party. If you're talking about RPGmaker games with a lot of mini-games, well, I think Necklace of Elements (2k3) has a bunch. It isn't done yet, but you can check out the videos.

thanks for your reply. And also I meant in a game I'm making. I'm making a whole lot of minigames and wanted to know if
it was a good idea. Here's the catch, you get to play the games on a computer. So they might be computer games that you
get to save to a mp3 player on the game.

That makes sense now.

Go as crazy with mini-games as you want, just as long as it doesn't draw from the focus of your game (both story and player's attention). Think Golden Saucer from FFVII; nice distraction, but not overpowering.

Oh, and don't make your games repetitive. By that I mean don't have one game be "Press the action button fast enough to pull carrots out of the ground!" and another be "Press the action button fast enough to fill a pail of water (Don't ask)."

Just what I wanted to hear.
My mini games are going to be in game computer games. Kinda like the real ones.
You could also get emulators.(I really don't think that that is a good idea.)

And another thing, is there any way to add \v[X](suppose to be funny) to VX...

1.)Splash screens?

2.)Flash Videos?

3.)If not, why do you think Enterbrain took them out.
