Glenda Adams of Maverick Software let us know that they have been developing a remake of the classic Lemonade Stand game that came bundled with early Apple II series computers.
Adams reports that she tracked down the original game and was able to preserve the original gameplay and economics, but has given the graphics a needed update.
After tracking down the original game and running it on an emulator in its low-res 40×40 graphical glory, I decided it really needed a face lift. So while I kept the gameplay and economics (even using all the original game’s simulation formulas), I had an artist make some great looking new screens for the weather forecasts and financial report, and did a custom iPhone slider interface to let you set your sales options.
I digitized the original music from the Apple II game and its software synthesizer, since it is so recognizable to anyone who played the game before.
The game should be out later this week and priced at $0.99. It should be a kick for anyone who played the original. Screenshots are linked below:
