An educational memory game from Learning Technologies and released in 1985 featuring colorful characters you meet while on a bike ride.
The player goes on a bike ride, and as they peddle about in the park they see a number of items, including: trash bins, rabbits, frogs, deer, flowers, and more. After the bike ride, the player must remember which items they saw, how many, and they are graded on the quality of their memory. The player can choose short or long bike rides, and the number of items progressively increases as the game continues.

Bburago Rally is a rally racing game exclusively released for the Commodore 64, featuring miniature Bburago rally toy cars. Players navigate these tiny vehicles across challenging tracks in a unique arcade-style racing experience.
One of the most exciting aspects of the game was its special contest: upon completing the original version, players received a code, which they could send to the publisher for a chance to win one of 50 real Bburago toy cars.
Although the game was never officially released outside of Hungary, an English-language version exists, thanks to the efforts of dedicated crackers.
