Dear Mr Cornwell. I wondered if you had ever been approached about a Sharpe computer game and what you think of the idea. I think it would be really fun. I imagine something where you control the character of Richard Sharpe throughout various scenarios, one for each of the book, having to resolve issues and fight bad guys in a first person situation. Perhaps there could be skills to be enhanced throughout gameplay such as when a level is completed. The battle scenes where Sharpe is in the thick of things could be like a usual beat em up type game but with swords. But where he has to command a group of men such as in Enemy where he is doing pretty much a general’s job it could be like a war strategy game. There could perhaps be a campaign option to play Wellington as general thorughout his major battles. My thoughts on Scenario 1 – Sharpe’s Tiger: Beat em up type battle scene with the Tippoo Sultan’s “tigers”. Brief video cutscene – Sharpe and Hakeswill fight, flogging, the Seringapatam mission explained. Sharpe and Lawford then having to avoid getting killed but captured in another cutscene and taken to the Tippoo. Various adventures for Sharpe until he is discovered and locked up again. Then he has to figure out how to escape the tigers and jetties, aid the British in their attack and kill the Tippoo. Hope you don’t mind me rambling on. It would be so great if there was a Sharpe game! Marie
