Old Nintendo Diabetes Education Games

[atari_aaron]

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.

Actually, I guess the name was Captain Novolin. What kind of game is it? Was it release for CD or was a NES or SNES game?

 

We're developing a diabetes education video game, and we'd like to see some of the work that has been done before.

Novolin was an SNES cartridge. I've seen it before. It's pretty rare.

If anyone has a copy of "Packy and Marlon" diabetes game for SNES or Windows, please let me know. We're interested in purchasing it.

And apparently not very good, Seanbaby ripped on it in that issue of EGM.

Im gunna check ebay. I wouldn't mind having those games. No matter how badthey suck the concept is worth it.

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?

I definitely agree with Seanbaby calling Captain Novolin one of the worst games of all time. This game makes Donkey Kong Jr. Math look like Super Mario Bros. 3.
