Great Greed is a quirky, environmentally-themed RPG released for the Game Boy in 1993 by Namco. You are summoned to the Greene Kingdom to stop the villainous Bio-Haz from polluting the world, interacting with a cast of eccentric characters named entirely after food. Instead of traditional menus, the game stands out with a unique, fast-paced battle system that maps your attacks, defense, and spells directly to the controller’s buttons.
How to Play
Navigate the world map, explore towns, and battle monsters to save the kingdom from pollution. In combat, actions are executed instantly using button presses rather than scrolling through menus. The original Game Boy controls map to your keyboard in the browser: use the arrow keys for movement, Z for the B button, X for the A button, Enter for Start, and Shift for Select.
Tips
- Pay close attention to your combat button assignments and adjust them to ensure you can heal or attack quickly during tough encounters.
- Talk to all the food-named NPCs you encounter; they often provide vital hints for your next objective.
- Your choices at the very end of the game determine which of the multiple distinct endings you will receive.
