I don't know what to do!

So I was looking through my website when I ran across this project using the letter q that I forgot about. Luckily I have saved my .a48 (code) for the game just in case I forgot about it and wanted to look at it if I rediscover it (which I did). So I have come into a quagmire. I have a question: Which q project should I continue? Or should I work on both at the same time? I don't know. I know the Odyssey² needs more games like "Q", but at the same time, "Quirky Q's" is a lot more interesting to work on.

I took a stab at continuing work on "Q." I enabled diagonal movement. I have used 1,450 out of a possible 2,048 bytes of the one (and so far only) bank. I guess I love the letter q a little too much. Makes me want to buy a quince with a quarter with a picture of the queen on it and quietly, quickly eat it. I'm crazy, I know. Either that or bored.

The last time I worked on "Q" was in 2015. Luckily I had put the most recent code since my computer died in 2016. (Yikes! My current computer is 7 years old?!) I guess I then filled the gap (sort of) with Jack and the Beanstalk, but I want another adventure game. Too bad the Odyssey² doesn't have battery saved memory.

I built my current PC in 2012 but didn't start to use it routinely until a few years ago. Eventually I might upgrade, but despite being budget and almost obsolete already when I built it, mostly it lives up to my expectations, in particular after I upgraded RAM from 8 to 16 GB.
