I can explain this one in four words. Strategy guide for Turbo. I’m going to need two more words. Teen Writer. I might need thirty-three more words. It’s a 1985 arcade game simulating the job of being a staff writer on the animated show Turbo-Teen as if it aired continuously until the year 2020, but the strategy guide for that. Thank you in advance for whatever awards this is eligible for.

I’m starting to think the term “High Concept” refers to the state the writer was in at the time the work in question was conceived.
