Again, making me feel like a heel for not uploading scans. I like the idea of the convenience store game. That GBC cover is pretty cool too, which game is that?

I fired up the convenience store game last night and even though it requires a higher level of competence in the Japanese language than I currently obtain, I was able to successfully stumble my way through setting up a new store, stocking it, and scheduling staff for the week. After that, I watched it run on auto-pilot for awhile, as customers popped in and out of the store. Kinda neat. I'll probably enjoy it more once I have a better grasp of Japanese.

As for the GBC game: that is Kaijin Zona, AKA Phantom Zona. To explain it would be ... well ... just read the description for it on the following webpage:

(Due to GS's "forbidden .html" filter, you will have to remove the hyphen in "clas-sic" of that URL.)

The game has a pretty strange (usual for Japan) plot and does something pretty cool with the GBC infra-red port.
