Bonzi Buddy if I remember correctly was one of the worst viruses and spyware to ever hit a PC of all time - going so far as to amass personal data from children unauthorized by parents.

While I don't think you can do too much damage in PICO, SS, the history of its carnage and many users feelings for the hated gorilla remain unchanged.

i don't plan for it to do any damage. however i wonder what it could do. there's not many viruses for pico-8. hmm


Why not make a game on KOKO instead ? Also a gorilla. There's nothing but love for this famous ape.

Robin Williams, famous actor, explains:

Bonzi just struck my interest. and the functions it would have seem like a good coding exercise and it could be a program where instead of silly jokes and adware a informational guide with things strait from the manual (because that will give me a reason to read the dang thing)
.


Well ... alright. But if you just want a toon ape, there are two I can remember from cartoon history.

Grape Ape and Magilla Gorilla.

Failing that, wish you the best. Who knows, maybe you'll turn the opinion around on the historical icon.
