Old Nintendo Diabetes Education Games

Has anyone heard of the old Nintendo Games "Packy & Marlon" or "Captain NovoCar"? They are diabetes educational games. Would anyone know where I might find such games?

 

I think they were some of the games that were packed in with that "hands-free" controller that used the chin mounted joystick and utilized a puff and sip mechanism for the A, B buttons.

 

As to where you can find them these days, try a children's hospital or medical supply chain.

Well, the reason I'm asking as that we're developing a video game for diabetes education aimed at Native American children and we want to look at previous work in this area. ( See: http://atl.ndsu.edu/projects/#nd ) I've purchased a copy of Captin Novolin. It isn't the most fabulous game on the planet. But I suppose it does it's job. It is difficult to play, not becuase its challenging, but because the controls are bad. I've tried to get a copy of "Packy and Marlon" but that game seems rather difficult to find. If anyone can get me a copy, the project would be happy to pay as much as $25 for it.

 

Thanks,

 

Aaron

Who would have ever thought you could by diabetes games for the SNES?

Are you serious?
