Send me an email or leave a note with the title and short description of a video game that doesn't exist.
Once a week, I will draw pretend box art for your pretend game. It'll be fun. Maybe.

Spelling Champion: Earn My Love

The first Made Up Video Game is from Mr. Stephen H. He writes of his idea:
My game is "Spelling Champion:  Earn My Love."

You play the part of a parent or guardian raising and training your child to be a spelling-bee world champion.  The game contains little to no actual spelling, but a great deal of telling your son he will never be good enough.  Pit your daughter against her peers in the district championship!  Have her wander the neighborhood, matching wits with strangers!  Have your little one skip an entire weekend of sleep to run flash cards!

It's like Pokemon... but with terrified human children!

And here's what I came up with:

A little bit Imagine Babiez. A little bit Ingmar Bergman. A lot of text. In fact, every National Spelling Bee winning word since 1925 is in there... somewhere. I wanted to make this look as dreary and uninviting as possible because- let's face it- only overly eager grandmothers are buying this. And maybe nihilists.

Would I play this? Only politely.
