Yeah - if you're really that stuck, I suggest you just play games instead of making them (hey, games design isn't for everyone...)

If we give you an idea it wont be truly original will it?
Have some ideas before starting on your game, or get inspiration from something.

Just play some games for a while to inspire you!

Here's a few helpful articles I wrote:

And a few nice games for inspiration - Darwinia, Uplink, Mafia, Conquest of Elysium, Avernum (any one of them), Dungeon Keeper 2, Warrior Kings (not very original but excellent design), ADOM, Nethack, Baldur's Gate 2, Fallout 2.

That should be enough to last you a year

Just take a moment to sit down and think, I know you're not stupid, just thing of something YOU can do/code in whatever program you're using (TGF, MMF, etc...) and add on to it. Need an example? How about, you know how to make a circle-shaped character collide with the left side of the screen...I know that sounds dumb, but then think ahead, what if when he collided with the left side of the screen the game ended? So your goal would be to avoid touching the left side of the game screen, while space monkeys shot lasers at you from the right. Think about it. :/

 
Heyya, what you sayya?
