Play Around The World In 80 Days (E)(Independent) Online
You play as Fogg’s frazzled assistant, bribing train guys and outrunning bandits while the clock races you—those pixelated cities feel like flipping through a worn-out adventure book.
Around the World in 80 Days for the Game Boy Advance came out in 2004 as an independent release. It was part of that wave of smaller, often book or film inspired titles that filled out the GBA library alongside the bigger franchises. You don't see many games based on Jules Verne novels, so it always stood out to me on the shelf.
You control Phileas Fogg's valet, Passepartout, managing your limited funds and time as you travel the globe. The main goal is to complete the journey within the 80 day limit, which involves buying tickets for various transports like trains and ships, and dealing with random obstacles that delay you. Key mechanics include making choices at certain story junctions, engaging in simple action sequences like outrunning pursuers, and a constant battle against your depleting wallet. The pacing is tense because the clock is always counting down, making every decision feel important. It feels like a careful balancing act between speed and resource management.
