The Semi-Impenetrable Fortress of Doom

Good news: I came up with an idea for a one-player Odyssey game. How many of you Odyssey owners out there have cart #7? Because this game needs it. This happened last night. So six² is on hold for now, again, as I would like to release a one-player Odyssey game. I call it "The Semi-Impenetrable Fortress of Doom." I could just as easily have called it "The Penetrable Fortress of Doom," but that doesn't seem as ominous, plus I like the double i there. Not many game titles have double i's. The only one I can think of is "Skiing."

The backstory is set in outer space, near the planet Saturn, where the Semi-Impenetrable Fortress of Doom is. That's all I'll say at this point. It's hard to put batteries in the Odyssey. I wish they could have made it easier to put in and take out batteries. I broke my fingernail trying to do that. Luckily it was at the top of it so I could cut it off without a problem. But geez, I spent what, 5 minutes, trying.
