Has anyone here heard of the Ancient Comedy Lysistrata?

Now they are planning on making it into a game...!

:
They said they may consider adapting more Ancient Works into games too depending on how Lisistrata is received...

Is there any Ancient works you would like to see adapted into a Video Game too?

Oh boy, well that was a blast from the past.

Am I the only one who read the Lysistrata in school...? I don't really think its suited for a videogame, but on its own it was actually really funny. (Read it in high school and I was not the only one laughing out loud in class.)
I think I'm a little too much of a historical purist for this? They completely lost me at the inclusion of combat (the whole point of the play's plot is to END a war). Definitely won't be backing it, but...it was interesting to see.

Dang, I recall listening to this on a LP back in college for English. The teacher wouldn't play it in class, but she let me borrow it and I played it back in my dorm room ... a long time ago.
I looked at the KS page but I'm still a little lost as to how you turn this into a game. Am I'm really curious as to how someone even thought this one up. Would be interesting to see how they do this, but I can't see how this wouldn't end up being an H-Game if they really followed the play.
