A game in which you navigate a (hypothetical, but mathematically
straightforward) universe that consists of 4 spatial dimensions.

I've actually written such a thing before... it's not that hard since
the math is pretty obvious.  And it can be represented on the screen
simply as an n*n grid in which each cell is an m*m grid, thus accounting
for all 4 dimensions.  Such a display may or may not be readily
understood by the player, though.  Presentation of 4D constructs on a 2D
screen is a tricky problem, to say the least. :-P
