Great Greed (or Vitamina Oukoku Monogatari as its known as in Japan) is an environmentally-themed RPG for the Nintendo Game Boy released by Namco in 1992.
The game's plot deals with a protagonist who is unnamed in the game, but referred to as "Sierra Sam" in the game's promotional materials. Sam, a resident of the "real world", is transported to the fictional world of Greene in order to prevent Biohazard Harry (simply referred to as "Bio-Haz" in the game) from continuing to pollute Greene.
The game plays similarly to many other RPGs of the time, although the game assigns each action in battle to a specific button (or direction on the control pad) instead of a regular menu. Additionally, most of the characters and towns in the game are named after different types of food.
Tips & Tricks Magazine listed Great Greed as one of the Top 10 Hardest-to-Find Original Game Boy Games (officially licensed North American games only).
