- Here's a mini-series I am doing to celebrate the 30th anniversary of one of my favorite childhood PC games: "Richard Scarry's Busytown!" Here I will be comparing the original 1993 MS-DOS version (which I had as a kid back in the 90s) with its' enhanced 1999 remake.
Here's an installment covering the Gas Station, where they let young Huckle Cat tend to the customers despite his young age! A variety of different customers and their vehicles still come to Huckle for help, for refueling their gasoline tanks and also for additional vehicle trouble! The remake combines two of the customers into one, replaces another customer (the race car dog with Dingo Dog from the books), renames the "unleaded" gas as "regular", and a few other odds and ends.

Seeing all those stores in the video reminds me of going to the mall.
Cool comparison. Keep the great job.
A gas station with no convenience store…. That’s something you don’t see everyday, literally every gas station I go to has a convenience store. And each time I go to one it’s so hard to choose one tasty treat.
The scene looks amazing 😊
I failed to play the Gas Station in 1999 Version before once or twice on my parents computer before!
Yeah, for some reason, to get the Gas Station stage to work in the 1999 version, you have to copy and paste all the files off the CD-ROM onto the computer's internal hard drive. I did this on my Windows XP virtual machine to make it possible.
Too bad there’s no going over the limit of gas/petrol in this game. Can you imagine what would happen if Huckle overfilled the gas/petrol tanks?
I also noticed there aren’t any female drivers in both versions. If this game were made in 2023, would the inclusion of female drivers be probable?
