A bit of a memory game, plus it teaches you things that you probably never need to know (unless you are a supermarket cashier).

Basically, every single fruit or vegetable has a (usually) four digit PLU (Price Look-Up) code that the cashier types in at the register, in order to properly identify the produce.  In this game, you play as the cashier, quickly and accurately entering the appropriate PLU before time runs out.

The code is presented to you the first time you see the fruit or vegetable, but after this, you must memorize it, or waste time looking it up by pressing F1.  With each level, new fruits and vegetables and their corresponding PLU's are added for you to memorize.


(Eventually, the fruit and vegetables will have little ASCII images in that empty box on the left side)

This will be made with GM7.

Oh, you bastard. I used to work at a supermarket and I HATED memorizing PLUs. I will test this game with a mixture of bitter memories and interest.  Big Laff

Hello this is Pencerkoff

You should have a bonus game : Stocking the Shelves.  You get a food item and have to locate the isle it lies in.

Maybe you could add some mopping mini-games in between those games, you know in case some players are too overwhelmed by the action.
