I wouldn't. I have a feeling not many others would either considering there are games a million times better for free all over the internet.

If you plan to distribute said game, you better make sure you have a license from the current copyright holders. They really don't like people making knockoffs.

there really isn't a whole lot of money in javascript game design... there are just way too many people doing it for free.

ok, i understand :D

Frankly speaking even if i had the opportunity to sell i would not...
I was just curious... when i showed the game to one of my co-workers at my work place he
loved it and said: "try to sell it to Yahoo"

My original idea was to code classic game remakes in javascript and then put the games on my personal website
together with description of how it was done...

I think i'll just stick to my original idea...

thanks
