Ever tried learning Spanish from a Game Boy cartridge? InfoGenius Systems: Berlitz Spa is this weird little language tutor that somehow works. You’ve got flashcards, matching games, and these bizarre fill-in-the-blank exercises where you conjugate verbs while dodging pixelated bulls—okay, maybe not the bulls, but it feels that intense sometimes.

First few minutes, you’re just clicking through basic greetings ("¡Hola!" "¿Cómo estás?"), but then it throws curveballs like restaurant dialogues where you have to pick the right phrase to order paella without accidentally insulting the waiter. The Berlitz branding makes it feel legit, though the 8-bit chiptune version of "La Bamba" during correct answers is… a choice.

Honestly? It’s clunky but weirdly charming—like if your high school textbook had a side gig as a Tamagotchi. You’ll either love how retro it feels or wonder why you didn’t just use an app.
