Can it be a remake of a game that wasn't actually bad, but could be much better?
I want to enter this, but I am not at all embarrassed by my oldest games. I'm much more embarrassed by more recent ones (Gato Sucio, Bad slime Mother and their ilk). However, I've always wanted to do a total remake of Totally... Gihern, with a fleshed out plot and more nerds to terrorize. Would this work?

Hello everybody, here's some screenshots of my entry's current progress.
Title screen
Something is about to go down!
A sudden realization!
The face of a menace, revealed!
This screenshot goes best with alarm and laser shot sound effects not present in this preview.
A vengeful enemy with forbidden knowledge?
Mercenaries for hire doing battle against an evil purple Kat army bent on evil!
The original tank ten years ago didn't look nearly as dangerous as the one that Kat is riding!
The evil Kat army is so evil... they recruit Kat spirits to do their dirty work for them!
Hope that motivates some of you. Anyone else got screenies of what they're getting done?

Out of the blue, bis_senchi PM'd me on CP offering to help continue Never Forget. I don't remember this, but apparently I included a text file asking for help making the next version.
The game is really, really old -- it released shortly after the first plotscripting version of the OHRRPGCE. (Late 2000?) I'm not sure if I'll do anything with it for this contest, but I went back to take a look at it and was sort of impressed. The plot is generic but fairly well-written, all things considered; the characters are better than standard OHR fare and the game feels pretty developed.
The game ends just as it gets interesting: it opens up into a mission-driven game, where you take jobs that might advance the plot or might just give various rewards. There are about three missions available in the game currently: two story-advancing missions and one just for money. I remember I included the missions partly because I didn't plan on giving money for random battles. I'm not sure to what extent I planned on making the story mission-driven, but I like the idea insofar as it doesn't dilute the plot.
