Remember those Where's Waldo? books you used to flip through as a kid? This is basically that, but on your NES (or Genesis/Super Nintendo if you've got those versions). It's built around the third book—you know, the one with the weirdly detailed crowds where Waldo's hiding in plain sight.

You scroll through these chaotic scenes—beaches, castles, that kind of thing—and try to spot the guy in the striped shirt before time runs out. Sounds simple, but some of these levels get sneaky. I swear the devs hid him behind pixels just to mess with you. The music’s oddly intense for a game about finding a dude with glasses, though.

It’s not deep, but it’s weirdly satisfying when you finally spot him after squinting at the screen for five minutes.
