Save Some Money, and Why Not the World?
Tuesday 1 July 2008 @ 6:45 am | By Chris 'Taco' Martinkovic Comment now!While some parents believe that video games are nothing more than time wasting money sinks, this interesting money sink from overseas just happens to be a video game. The BankQuest piggy bank allows Japanese children to go on an adventure using the money they save. Not a bad way to invest in new gear if I do say so myself.
The game consists of a 100 floor tower with over 180 different monsters inside of it. Needless to say you can’t get all that far without first investing a little money into your character. The game boasts over 160 items which total up to 10,000 yen. For 3,990 yen it’s a steep price for a piggy bank, but I can’t help wishing I had one of these when I was a kid. I’d even take one now to replace my Cup-O’-Change.
