Game & Watch Multi Screen: Life Boat (1983).
Not just the precursor to the Game Boy—it also foreshadowed the Nintendo DS. That’s right: back in 1983, Nintendo was already experimenting with dual LCD screens.
The premise is simple but tense. Passengers leap from a burning ship, and you’ve got to catch them in lifeboats suspended by rope. Each boat only holds four survivors. After that, anyone else goes straight into shark country. To save them, you need to unload boats quickly and keep the flow moving.
Game A gives you two lifeboats to work with. Game B is cruel: just one lifeboat, and the pace ramps up until you’re practically sweating bullets.
It’s surprisingly solid—easily a cut above the cheap Tiger Electronics knockoffs that came later. Nintendo really were laying down the blueprint for handheld gaming.

@cwebber I guess antifa will have to shutter its global headquarters, sell off its fleet of vehicles, and fire its army of lawyers.

Donald Trump has now labeled "antifa" a terrorist organization and will start seeking crackdown against those seen as participants and supporters.

But, it doesn't have to be a gimmick. Apparently they're working on a new game, Light No Fire, and maybe they're thinking the same way, and maybe the system that spits out worlds will spit out better worlds nine years later. Our computers are bigger, everything is cheaper, maybe they had technical limitations.
But, it's neat. And, I may like thinking about "how do you make billions of worlds that can be visited by any player, without storing billions of worlds" as much as playing the game.

It is, of course, utterly fitting that the mascot of ABC's parent company is a mouse, the rodent that symbolizes cowardice and timidity.

They currently have seemingly about two(?) surface biomes, one cave, and two water (deep and shallow). That's cool and all, but it feels really samey when you spend any notable time on a single planet, like for bases and settlements. It does really feel like "exploring".
So, I think what I'm getting at is that the the billions of worlds thing is a bit. A gimmick. They made a great game, but you're not going to spend time looking at each world...you're not gonna find a lot of surprises. 6/?
