I translated "Jeff Jet: Abenteuer InfoHighway" as "Jeff Jet: Adventure on the InfoHighway" archive.org/details/jeff... - a German promotional adventure game for Hewlett Packard from 1995.

Title screen for "Jeff Jet: Adventure on the InfoHighway".

Screenshot from "Jeff Jet: Adventure on the InfoHighway". In front of a green room that seems to be built out of giant circuit board pieces, there are close-up pictures of Jeff Jet and an NPC wearing glasses and a red sweater. A line of dialog is visible between them: "Good day to you!".

Screenshot from "Jeff Jet: Adventure on the InfoHighway". The two main characters, Jeff and Donna, are standing near a road tunnel with a closed barrier gate in front of it and a guard standing by. There is a large truck loaded with gigantic ones and zeroes. The mouse cursor is hovering over these ones and zeroes, and the word "Bits" appears next to it.

Screenshot from "Jeff Jet: Adventure on the InfoHighway". One of the main characters, Donna, stands in the middle of a large desert tent with visible patches and holes. A small office area has been set up behind her, with a woman sitting at a desk with a computer on it. There is an empty chair with a green coat lying on it in the foreground facing the desk. At the bottom of the screen, there is a row of inventory items. The mouse cursor is over one of them, a red and green magnet, with the word "Magnet" shown next to it.

Yesterday on stream someone asked "why do people bother to translate in English boring advergames like Jeff Jet: Adventure on the Infohighway?"
Well, so we can experience something different.
I'll never stop playing them. Even though I got very close last night... www.twitch.tv/thegenesiste...
