3	Ever miss being a child, playing games at your grandma's or in your old bedroom? Then look no further! ''The Adventures of Elena Temple'' is the classic you never knew existed. And the best part is that you can play it on virtual old machines that kind of sort of maybe existed. It's not like you can remember for sure anyway, right?

5	''The Adventures of Elena Temple'' is an indie game developed single-handedly by Grim Talin, and is strongly styled after the 80's PuzzlePlatformer games. The player takes control of an archaeologist named Elena that must explore a temple filled with everything from traps and enemies to treasures and armed with only a gun that can only hold and shoot two bullets at a time. The game is not just a puzzle game but also a strategy game, since every level has a certain path of actions to take to clear it easily.

7	The game's most unique gimmick is that along with being a {{Retraux}} game, it incorporates a dozen different interfaces all resembling different game consoles and computers from the era. The filters can be changed at any time and only affect the look of the game. The levels and puzzle are always the same. The game released for UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} and UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch in May 2018.

10	!!Tropes present in this work:
11	* OneHundredPercentCompletion: The game's world has a total of 120 coins and 8 gems to collect with some in the open and others very well hidden.
12	* ActionGirl: Elena Temple.
13	* BlandNameProduct: The actual computers and game console depicted in the game have loose names based on their actual names, like the "Maple" computer.
14	* CollisionDamage: Touching any of the enemies anywhere is instantly lethal.
15	* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: You have limitless retries, unlike most of the games of the "emulated" period. Elena is also never thrown back very far by each death.
16	* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The part of the game you are actually playing is always strictly monochrome, though the exact color palette changes depending on the device "you" are using.
17	* InstantDeathBullet: Played straight. However, you can only carry two of them at a time.
18	* OneHitpointWonder: Your protagonist is instantly killed by anything in the game.
19	* ProtagonistTitle: Played straight, unless you consider "you" who is sitting in the "in-game rooms" to be the protagonist.
20	* SpikesOfDoom: An ever-present obstacle in the world of the game.
