Vitamina Oukoku Monogatari (1992) — a Game Boy RPG with no battle menu, that saved itself every few minutes
Episode 58 of "Today Is Release Day": Vitamina Oukoku Monogatari, published by Namco for the Game Boy on September 17, 1992 — 34 years ago today. There is no "Fight / Magic" list in battle; four spells sit on the four directions of the d-pad. The game saves itself every few minutes, and almost every name in it is a food. Famitsu scored it 24 out of 40.
