Save: none
Released: September 1991
Works with: All Game Boys

Opening Snide Remarks: Just because it's called Game Boy doesn't mean 
that every piece of software is a game. Gametek did a very brave thing 
introducing its line of non-game paks. This Infogenius series also 
includes Spanish and French language translators, a travel guide and a 
personal organizer.

Gameplay: The spell checker: Basically, you type in a word and it tells 
you if you've spelled it correctly. If not, it gives you a list of 
words that you might have meant. The calculator: Yes, there's also a 
calculator. Just your basic 9-digit calculator. It's not scientific or 
anything, just addition, multiplication, subtraction, division and square 
root.

Graphics: The graphics fit the theme. There's a keyboard with a cursor 
shaped like a hand.

Sound: Just basic sound effects. If you type in a number, you'll hear a 
"ping."

Music: None.

Play Control: You'll have to wait a few seconds for the spell checker 
to work. It takes a few more seconds if the word isn't spelled right. 
The calculator gives the answers automatically, no matter how complex the 
problem.

Final Analysis: A very interesting little pak. It's also rare, so if 
you find one and you think you want it, you'd better pick it up. It's 
kind of fun actually, but kind of useless with the advent of spell checker 
on PCs. If you want a calculator, well chances are your PC has one, but 
if not, here's a good one.
