GAMEPLAY:
At the menu screen, use the D-pad and A button to choose "CITIES" or "800#'S". In CITIES, scroll up and down using the D-pad to choose one of the 15 U.S. cities. Press select to get a brief travel guide synopsis of the city ("This place is great! Come spend your money here!"). Press A for access to information that might have been useful to travelers in 1991, including names, addresses, phone numbers, prices, and methods of payment accepted by hotels, restaurants, shops, transportation, tourist traps, and so on.
"800#s" is a repository of toll free numbers for various would-be-useful places and services.
THOUGHTS:
This is an interesting but completely useless relic that only the hardcore collector should seek. The passage of time has rendered much of the information on the cartridge obsolete. Obviously, if you were genuinely interested in this kind of software, you can find a better product (one that is prettier, more easily navigable, includes more and better information, and is more customizable) for a smaller and rechargeable modern device.
