1) Amelia Earhart’s Plane Craft
For those who may not know, Amelia Earhart was a famed female pilot and author. She’s the author of many influential books about aviation, often thought to be a boy’s club back in the early 1900s. During an attempt to complete the first circumnavigational flight of the globe, she disappeared over the central Pacific Ocean. She was 37 when she disappeared, declared dead in absentia yet remaining an inspiration to many young women around the world.
Why’s this number one? I’d imagine if Earhart was a video game character, she’d be pretty similar to Drake, a fearless adventurer who isn’t afraid of the unknown and lives to defy the odds set forth against her. This would be a cool treasure to find, as its one of the biggest unsolved mysteries known to man. Where did she go? Was she actually alive? It would also provide an interesting opportunity to play with real world history – what if she found a hidden utopia, and lived out the rest of her life in her own special escape? Maybe it’s just the tip of an enormous iceberg that involves Purdue University, the university faculty she joined before she disappeared, or maybe she actually survived, and her plane was filled with treasure.
