A short introduction before we get started: My name is Vee, and my first attempt at a timeline was an adject failure by virtually all standards. I entered into it with little preparation and quickly felt overwhelmed and abandoned it, but I never stopped thinking about what it could have been...

A continuation of the Top Video Games Never Made thread, which died out recently. New Super Mario (2004) Platform: Nintendo DS In a reinvention of the classic Super Mario 2D formula, we follow Mario and Princess Peach on their adventure to save Prince Cream, Peach's younger brother, from Bowser...

............ Greetings. Welcome to my first timeline of two-thousand and twenty-three...... The theme and focus of this TL should be obvious given the title and tags. Now, without further ado. I introduce you to my newest TL: TL-2K23! So, how about we get started on this adventure...

This is my new test timeline to legitimately test out the waters and see how/what I do before going to bigger stuff. This timeline is focused on a earlier start in otaku culture in the United States of America. This will also cover the animation, broadcasting, television, gaming, children's...

Following this quote in Polchat I skimmed Marx's Wiki page and found this quote from Irving Berlin I do not, and will not claim to be an expert on any of the Marx's lives, although I do enjoy their films, so here's the challenge, with a POD that still includes the making of Duck Soup in it's...

According to TV Tropes, Albert R. Broccoli, Harry Saltzman, Ken Adam, Lewis Gilbert, and Freddie Young were in Japan finishing scouting for You Only Live Twice, when they learnt of a show they wanted to see so much they cancelled a flight. That flight was BOAC Flight 911, and it crashed near...

In the 1950s, superhero comics were in a major decline. Nobody wanted to read comic books about costumed crimefighters who had silly names and fought equally silly villains, Axis minions and gangsters at the end of World War II. Many comics companies that produced superhero comics went bankrupt...

Lately I've been spending a lot of time playing a game called Hnefatafl or Viking Chess as some might call it. For those unfamiliar, Hnefatafl is an asymmetric chess like game where the goal for white to get it's king to safety and for black to capture white's king. Under the Copenhagen rules...

Michael Eisner changed everything. When he became CEO of Disney in 1984, he transformed the company from another family-oriented film studio to the enormous corporate media behemoth that it is today. It is due to Eisner that the studio went through its renaissance in the 1990's, and expanded its...

Essentially, sort of a literary equivalent to The best movies/TV shows/video games never made threats. Only this time, it's about books ranging from novels, comic books and graphic novels, and textbooks for schools.

Prologue: A Fateful Choice It was impossible to pretend that Steve Ditko was anything other than one of the biggest names in the comic book world. Right alongside the likes of Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and Gardener Fox, he had been in the game for one hell of a long time and without a doubt, his...

The horror genre is considered the black sheep of the pantheon of Hollywood genres. Films of that genre ended up as marginalized second-rate B-movies done with low budgets and sub-par talent. Those films were filled with cheesy special effects and hammy acting. Due to the Production Code, many...

This is the thread where people can give any and all voice actors or actors you feel would be better than the ones we got IOTL. Don't be shy, all ideas are welcome.

What would happen if Hollywood dies by the late 1970's? What would entertainment be like if that happened?

Much like the greatest television shows never made, this thread is very much the same as that, except for video gaming. Game Of Thrones (2014): Developer: Obsidian Software Publisher: Bethesda Softworks A game set at the start of the series (series 1), you would begin the game as a member of...
