Apple II Classic Game Lemonade Stand Being Ported To iPhone

Lemonade Stand, a classic economics computer game from the Apple II days, is currently being remade for the iPhone by Maverick Software's Glenda Adams. She says she's keeping the original gameplay and economics, but decided to ditch the original lo-fi graphics (shown to the side) for something a little more up to date.

Adams wrote to Touch Arcade on the project:

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.

It is hoped to be released later this week for $0.99 in the App Store.
