Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone here had any experience with the Infogenius cartridges (http://www.gbdb.org/games.php?title=Infogenius_Productivity_Pak%3A_%E2 %80%A8Frommer's%E2%84%A2_Travel_Guide) for the Game Boy. The one in the link is for travel planning as current as 1989, but there are others, like a Personal Planner and a Spell Check cartridge.

I have the Frommer's Travel Guide cart that you linked to, the copy I picked up is the only one of the Game Boy Infogenius series I've ever encountered in the wild. There's not much to say about it, really. It's obviously irrelevant as a reference for the various U.S. cities it was originally intended to be but there might be some small entertainment value in thumbing through the info for a city you're familiar with in the modern day.

I have the Spell Check one, just another thing I shouldn't have bothered to buy.

my friend has one of the translator. i seem to remember there being less than 2 dozen phrases the thing translated. pretty useless, but highly collectable.
