Let's get it going again. I think we could bust out at least one map/level. I wouldn't even mind if it was just a hippo that walked around a box with obstacles.

What are the necessary skills for each role? I assume most of them require considerable knowledge of programming which I lack, unless we're making a game for the TI-83 (though I'm hoping to learn some actual programming language eventually, I've even signed up for a course this fall).
That said, this sounds fun, and if there's something I can do, I'd like to be a part of this.

Well, I figure as long as all the other bases are extensively covered, the programmer won't need much else to put everything together. Say you wanted to do some character design; I don't know if we still have the old sprites floating around, but essentially you would need to design a control sprite, then some walking animations, turning animations, etc., and the programmer could just stick them in to the code and grind out the rest.
Now, there's a good chance I'm wrong, in which case it'd be astronomically more difficult to do this as a group. But if I'm on the right track we could probably figure something out. I'm just going to be composing a few tracks for an overworld background and maybe some death music and stuff.
Overall I was thinking about approaching this as a Pac-Man or Dig-Dug style game. Simple map, simple goals, difficult execution. IIRC it was initially a true RPG style adventure, but it wouldn't hurt to start small.

It'll be a blockbuster.

Do you still have the sprites? Artwork would be manageable provided I know what you are looking for.

I've looked at the world for quite a few years now and I've found that if I don't laugh, I'll probably end up crying.
