    What. Is there an actual cart or just the ROM? Will I have to dump it myself if I want to bust out my Gameboy again? I know I can play it on the web, but that just defeats the point, I think....

      The website they built around it is great. Such a blast from the past. A lot of care went into this project by the looks of it.

    Here is the press release from McDonald's. I was struggling to figure out if the game is actually affiliated with McDonald's, which it is.
