After much consideration, I have decided not to make a Ghostbusters game for the Retro Remakes competition. People are getting scolded for even considering to make Ghostbusters now.

Instead, I will remake an old educational Apple II game that I used to play in elementary school called "Agent USA". You get to travel across the country, trying to win the game, and you learn some geography while you're at it!

Since a large amount (if not the majority) of the competition entrants are from the UK, I will also make a "UK" version of the game, where you travel around the United Kingdom trying to stop the Fuzzbomb.

You know, it doesn't have to be playstation or atari. There are some really old 8 or 16 bit PC games that I used to play (in fact some of them still work, but look horrible as far as graphics are concerned!), and that is what I am using.

I wonder if Logo would be considered a game? We used to play with that little turtly guy in elementary school--- one of my introductions to logic

That would be fun to remake!

Logo was the bomb!

And who didn't play with Print Shop in elementary school? I can still remember making banners ... for my bedroom ...

But seriously, Logo crossed my mind as well! And you know, I can't believe that nobody else ever got the idea to remake Oregon Trail. What a classic!

Alright, time to find a copy of Logo and play around with it. I need to get a refresher on its language
