Not talking of all the old DOS games and all the other (especially Japanese)) home computers. Nobody, .. ehm .. let's better say: no sane person has ever even played the majority of them (If you mean: consoles, that's a different thing and quite achievable ... ever played Arcadia 2001 games ?

They tried to give the game a bit of a 3D feel, and your goal is to collect clams to pay tolls at the end of each section.
