Got something moderately exciting in the mail today... the Spanish version of the 1996 Where in the World game. Sadly, it's kind of a mess. For one thing, they didn't even try to translate some of the puns.))

Sadly its not surprising PC game translation was pretty lax back then and most of the time it had nothing to do with cost either. Mostly they didn't want to take the time to find someone to do it right simply because they didn't have to.

    fun facts: Quokkas naturally look like they’re smiling because of the shape of their mouths. The internet adopted them as “the happiest animal,” though in reality they’re just little nocturnal marshmallow creatures trying to survive like everything else.

    Edited because the answer was wrong and needs rewording: I am one of the great world cities that sits near major fault lines. Cats roam my ancient ruins. Empires fought endlessly over me because I connected continents. Where am I?”

    This is becoming a fun rabbit hole....the alphabet has been rearranged a few times. "A" came from a Phoenician symbol that originally represented an ox's head. "B" came from a symbol meaning "house." The names Alpha and Beta evolved from Aleph and Beth. ...
