This one's a weird little Game Boy gem—basically a flashcard-style English vocabulary crammer disguised as a game. You get kanji and have to pick the right English translation from multiple choice, with a timer ticking down. Feels like someone took a study guide and slapped a pixelated "game" label on it, but there's something oddly satisfying about nailing a tough one just before time runs out.
The questions ramp up fast—starts with basic stuff like "apple = ringo" but soon throws curveballs with obscure academic terms. I kept getting tripped up on words like "photosynthesis" written in katakana. Classic 90s edutainment: not exactly fun, but weirdly compelling if you're into that grind.
Definitely made for Japanese students prepping exams, not casual players. You can practically smell the pencil shavings and stress.
