Major sparetimequelch, game making, oh brother!

This is me not doing any school for the time being :)
Happy times you might say. It is, REALLY!!

Suddenly I have a lot of spare time on my hands. AND it's raining. Add it up, and it makes for Computer-time.

So I have undertaken a couple of impossible tasks:

1. I am trying to make a remake of the classic DOS-game "Jones in the Fast lane". A simple career game. Probably the predecessor of Sims. The master plan is to make a 3D landscape in Blender, and use the Blender game engine to remake the game. I am well on my way of making the two first tiles of the map. (it has 10) I call the game "Tux in the Fast lane".

2. I had a crazy idea to remake Ducktales. It kept my mind racing and made me stay up late (in bed) to plan how to all in my head. The plan is the same, although I plan to make the animation in 3D, the gameplay will be in 2D sidescrolling, or up or down or whatever. I'm probably going to have the most trouble with the "Launchpad McQuack-flying" part of the game. Or maybe that will be the easiest. I don't know - Because I have to LEARN everything!!!
Game-name: TuxTales.

3. Another game-making idea. (This will have to wait till I'm well on my way with 1. or 2. And I really have forgotten what it was! LORDY!!!! Oh well, it'll come back to me soon. O! OOO! Oh!!! I got it. It's a rather complex task of remaking a simpler and heavily modified version of "Buzz Aldrin's Race into Space".

All made in Blender game engine, all plesant futile tasks. Wish me luck!
