"A nice little game that not many people know about"

Foil Greede's Plans!

Grim Faces- that's all you see. Children crying- that's all you hear. I.M.Greede, a morally corrupt tycoon with wicked plans, is buying up the local factories! He's hoarding all the quality products so that he can build his own empire! At the same time, he's making sure the poor citizens of Segaville are getting all the rejects. (What a crook!)

The desperate citizens are counting on someone like you who's brave enough to take up the toughest challenge-sneak into Greede's factories and get the quality products to the people who rightfully deserve them.

This is surprisingly easy and fun to play. You play a dumpy little kid, in a factory. There are people queued up at the bottom of the screen, at the end of conveyor belts. Items come through the walls on the belts. You must alter the course of the goods (or bads) and get them to the customer, by standing on switches. Later in the game, you have more than one type of person to the goods to. For example, you must deliver bread to the young woman, and the gamegear to the kid. If you give them the dud doodah, you get a scowl from them, and your remaining time decreases. There are guards with the intelligence of a SLUG, that you knock temporarily unconscious by spitting at them. Yep, you read that right.
Even FURTHER into the game, the system changes. Now you have to move sections of conveyor belt to and fro, to complete (or break) the course of the item. You still have to deliver the correct item to the correct person. The guards to get a little bit smarter, and they are armed with some sort of pistol.
The graphics are as they should be. Not too detailed or bright, but clear enough to be identified and understood. The only groan is that the bullets shot by the guards later on are a bit small.
The theme is some famous classical music.. you'll recognize it instantly. The music is easy to listen to, and not too annoying. The sounds are exactly what you would expect from a GameGear, you know what I mean.
I haven't completed this yet, it's hard, but it got a tad dull far into the game. The game gets more difficult as it progresses. It doesn't have any kind of password or save system, so it is ideal for long car journeys, boring lectures, and rainy days.
I nice idea, that has been executed well. A decent Gamegear puzzler, that many have sadly overlooked. Seven out of ten.
