Girl Talk is a 1998 video game developed by Human Code and published by Hasbro Interactive. It is for ages 8 and up.[2][3][4] It is based on the board game of the same name.[5]

Gameplay

The player selects a representative character, choosing hairstyles and eye colors, and then picks a nickname from a list. Afterward, the player selects a subject area to begin. The game presents questions and mini‑games that are simple in structure, each accompanied by an explanation shown every time it is played. Additional features include a diary for personalization, a dream journal that provides meanings of dreams, and a fortuneteller that answers yes‑or‑no questions and gives brief advice. The game allows storage of only one top‑ten list at a time. Visual elements such as background graphics, animations, and a spinner that changes appearance based on the chosen subject area accompany gameplay. Up to four players can participate, though no computer‑controlled players are available.[6]

Reception

Los Angeles Times called Girl Talk surprisingly fun.[8] All Game Guide liked the gameplay and background graphics in Girl Talk.[6]
