Frommer's Travel Guide Game

Okay, so "Frommer's Travel Guide" on Game Boy is... not what you'd expect. It’s less of a game and more like flipping through a digital travel brochure with some light interactivity. You scroll through pages of destinations—Paris, Tokyo, etc.—with tiny pixel art landmarks and bite-sized trivia. The "gameplay" is basically choosing where to "visit" next, which unlocks more blurbs about local food or sights.
It’s charming in a retro way, like finding an old guidebook at a thrift store. The graphics are simple (we’re talking Game Boy green-and-black), but there’s something oddly cozy about scrolling through Kyoto’s temple section while pretending you’re not just sitting on your couch. Don’t go in expecting puzzles or action—it’s pure armchair tourism for when you’re stuck at home. If you’ve ever daydreamed about trips you’ll never take, this might scratch that itch for about 20 minutes.
