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.

If you reside in the US or Canada, did you take note of the interest rate cut announced today (Sep 17)?

@gwcoffey hopefully the negative framing didn't throw you off. I think it's the most common way to say it, though.

I’m not sure if I have the cringe-endurance to learn swing dancing. At least with ballet I can just suck at it without a dance partner being brought down with me.
