GBC Did you guys know about this point n click adventure on the Game Boy Color?

[Deleted member 560402]

"The Fish Files" This is a full blown point n click adventure game almost like Day of The Tentacle or Sam and Max. The sprites are big and well animated, super expressive, and very cartoony. It only released in Europe and only for the Game Boy Color. No PC version so no way to play this in SCUMMVM. You'll need a Game Boy emulator or the original cart. Something similar to this was done on GBA with Broken Sword but that was a port. This game is completely original! Anyone play it? What did you think of it?

Kinda like Nightshade on NES? Neat!

What is it called, though?

It is called, "The Fish Files".

Not calling it The Fish Fillets and pretending to be obnoxiously French about it is such a missed opportunity in my pun-addled mind.

See, how do make a super impressive GBC game and then put out box art like this? I know the early 00's had an odd sense of style, but I swear it's like they wanted the game to fail.

Well, now I know.
