Best way to describe is, it's a very poor bootleg that came after the original Game Boy it's styled upon. And contains one of those single LCD screen games, like Tiger used to make.

Asking "who remembers" to learn about the pastโeven if you were not aliveโis generally not confusing; it is a common, effective way to initiate storytelling and gather oral history. People who were alive then often enjoy reminiscing about their experiences.
I love that game!

04.02.2026 17:02 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Current Specs:
- Pentium MMX 233MHz CPU โก
- 256MB RAM (a bit overkill for the era โ typical I believe was 32-64MB, what did you have?)
- S3 ViRGE/DX Graphics Card ๐บ
- Generic SoundBlaster-compatible sound card ๐
- 16GB CF HDD (modern twist ๐ป)
- CD-ROM drive ๐
... This setup runs the Monkey Island CD-ROM version perfectly, but I'm looking at period-correct upgrades to make it even faster and capable of more mid/to late-90s titles. The graphics card is at the top of my list ... the ViRGE is decent for 2D but struggles with 3D games. What do you recommend?
