This one's a deep cut—a Japan-only Game Boy title from the "Goukaku Boy" series, basically a flashcard-style English vocab crammer disguised as a game. You get 1017 English idioms and phrases to drill through, with multiple-choice quizzes and progress tracking. Not exactly an action-packed adventure, but weirdly satisfying if you're into language learning or just love obscure edutainment titles.

The interface is pure late-90s edutainment: chunky pixel menus, beepy sound effects, and questions that assume you're prepping for some intense English exams. I messed up the first few rounds thinking "hit the books" meant literally punching textbooks. Turns out there's a reason this was niche even back then.

Still, there's something charming about its no-nonsense approach—no minigames, no fluff, just you versus a mountain of phrases. Probably more useful than half the mobile vocab apps today, if you can handle the retro grind.
