Pokemon Trading Card Game (GBC)

Pokemon Trading Card Game (2000) is a card battle game for Game Boy Color. This is the first GB game I ever owned on cartridge. It's pretty fun, and mostly easy if you are good at the card game in real life. The cards featured are from several of the first ever WOTC sets. Some cards are exclusive to this game, and others can only be obtained via infrared Card Popping with friends who have both the game and a compatible Gameboy. If you're interested in the Pokemon TCG, but not so much invested into card collecting, buy/play this game for a satisfactory introduction to the Pokemon collectible card game. Enjoy.

H) How does Geodude's Castle factor into the Ash Ketchum Pokemon Coma Theory?

Jagtris (MS DOS)

Jagtris (1998) is an interesting puzzle game for MS DOS. The game is like Tetris, the twist being that you are to tile match instead of clear lines. This game is more similar to Puyo Puyo than Tetris, yet it sports a Tetris clone-style name. Surprisingly, the game is compatible with USB gamepads. This makes for comfortable play, like a console puzzle game. A fun time killer.

Gex: Enter The Gecko (GBC)

Gex: Enter the Gecko (1998) is a horrid platformer for the Game Boy Color. You're a gecko, traversing levels with the most frustrating controls possible. Everything's out to get you in this game. Nothing makes any sense. This game is so uninspiring to write about.

Rage Test:
1) R u mad?
2) Sally takes 700 caterpillars from Billy. How many rare bananas does Jake have?
3) Why doesn't Mario use the Super Boots on Level 10 of MegaLuigi Bros 5?

Lego Bionicle (GBA)

Lego Bionicle (2001) is an overhead action RPG set in the Bionicle universe. Bionicle is a strange series of stories by Lego with lots of invented words and forced lore. It doesn't at all feel natural, yet the Lego models themselves do look interesting. Instead of playing as one of the cool tall models, you play as one of the cheap short models. You're basically this Lego robot thing on an island of others like you, throwing fruit at monsters in caves from a topdown-isometric-pseudo 3D perspective. As one who considers himself still fresh to Lego games, I found this game to be fun and even worth playing again. It has many RPG qualities that mix well with the action-based nature of the game.

International Survey:
1) Why don't Bionicle wear pants? Does this not affect censorship or the FCC?
2) Is the FDA preventing Nintendo from releasing Super Mario-themed meat loaf? Show your work.
4) Describe, in graphic detail, how Bionicles mate.

Need For Speed Carbon - Own The City (GBA)

Need For Speed Carbon: Own The City (2006) for Game Boy Advance is a game that involves driving fast on roads. In this game, you are a guy suffering from amnesia after a car accident. Right away, some strange people scoop you up and demand to train you to start racing. This game is insane; the controls are terrible and the plot is confusing. It's one of the later Need For Speed games on GBA, so I am doubting the earlier games were better. Not recommended.

Survey:
1) Who is "Need" and how does he relate to "For Speed"?
2) Who is Homes? Where does his character come into play and is he the protagonist of the Carbon series?
3) On a scale of 1 to 50,000 brazil nuts, how would you rate this game in comparison to Mario's rating? Note: You have to also rate Mario.
4) Why isn't Mario in this game?
5) If you have 10 Marios and you lose 12, how many Luigis are born from Yoshi eggs per second?
6) If it's raining in Dream Land, what mathematical equation is needed to allow Kirby to progress towards MegaMan 8's Emerald Zone Act 1?

Sugoro Quest: The Quest of Dice Heroes (NES)

Sugoro Quest (1991) is a game that came out for Famicom only. It's basically an RPG in basically a fantasy world. You - the player - throw dice at monsters in order to fight them as you crawl around on a map screen that resembles a board from a typical board game. It's kind of a weird concept, but it works.

SAT test:
A) Name one song by Eminem. Divide it by 3.7. Show your work.
B) What's the triangular root of a turkey's China-made NES on a Thursday on Mars? Why?
C) If Mario eats 3 mushrooms, does he grow 3 times as large compared to his base form or his Super form? What happened to the Mega stage inbetween? What? Show your work.
D) Mario is autistic. True or False?
E) Why can't Zelda save the princess in MegaMan 13? Type the game genie code to beat Ganon in Mario to find out.

1942 (NES)

1942 (1986) is a vertical scrolling shooter game for the NES, originally an arcade game by Capcom. In this game, you are a fighting air craft that shoots projectiles at other air crafts. Some of the enemies shoot back! You cannot take damage in a game like this without dying. This is one of those games where time is of the essence. That means it takes time to develop an essence of ability to play this game. Enjoy the video, person.

Description quiz:
A) Why is the game titled 1942?
B) How many buckets of sand does it take to fry an egg in Mario's house?
C) Pikachu has 3 pales of lettuce, while Dodrio has 72 gallons of wine. How many gallons of wine does Dodrio have?
D) Count to 1942 without stopping (except to breathe, sleep, pee, eat, etcetera).
E) How many Digimon died in the making of this game? Was there a lawsuit? Why/why not? True or False?

VGA 'N Friends: Galaga - Demons of Death (NES)

Galaga - Demons of Death (1988) is a port of an arcade game known as Galaga. Unlike games like Gradius, Galaga is a fixed shooter, similar to Space Invaders. You play as a spaceship attempting to shoot only about three missiles at a time towards gigantic flies, crabs, and lobsters. Sometimes the lobsters try to use tractor beams on you - watch out! Apparently all these enemies are the demons in outer space and you play as one who is trying to destroy them all. Uncommon of a shooter, this game is actually fun.

Description quiz:
1) What's the square root of a banana?
2) What kind of Pokemon are you and how do you do the things you do?
3a)What's your favorite kind of Pokeball?
5) Which game universe would you choose to live in if you had to choose?
5b) Who did Super Mario take to court for vandalism in 2002?

VGA 'N Friends: Gargoyle's Quest 2 - The Demon Darkness (NES)

Gargoyle's Quest 2 - The Demon Darkness (1992) is the sequel to Gargoyle's Quest 1. I haven't played the first one yet, but I can tell you that this game is hard as hell and somewhat misleading. It starts off as an RPG, then throws you into difficult platforming. Thank balls there isn't a timer. Anyways, you have to climb on walls and jump around. You shoot fireballs at enemy, kind of like Mario. But enemies respawn like no tomorrow and they can attack you through walls! What the fuck! I don't actually recommend this game, but it's not that bad. Just requires time and patience, like any game in the Ghosts 'N Goblins series.

Personality test:
A) What Mario is the real Mario?
B) Name at least 6 Bird-type Pokemon from Gold or Ruby versions, specifically.
C) Name 5 characters from Pokemon Z.
D) Define "Mushroom".

VGA 'N Friends: Super Mario Bros. 2 (Famicom Disk System)

Super Mario Bros. 2 (1986), also known as Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels in the USA, is the sequel to the original platforming game Super Mario Bros. This game is hard as a ballsack. Some of the mushrooms are toxic, there's more enemies, and the levels are cluttered with unjumpable gaps at times. Although this game is intense, I recommend it to anyone who enjoys challenging platformers. It's one of those platformers where you definitely have to invest time into the game.

Worth-your-time survey:
2) Why is Kirby pink? For that matter, why is he any color at all? Why is he not transparent/clear?
3) Which Final Fantasy is the FINAL fantasy for you?
4) When you play Pokemon Red, you get 10 Pikachus. Why?
5) Define "super jump".

Tetris for Game Boy

Tetris (1989) for Game Boy is a phenomenal puzzle game that is alive and well today on many platforms. This version of the game is commonly praised and cherished by retrogamers across the world. There isn't much to say here - it's just Tetris, but on the go. If you like action puzzle games, this is the holy grail of them all.

Description quiz:
A) Why is Mario scared to play Tetris? What's he got to lose?
B) Comment "Tetris" if you've ever scored more than 500 points in the game.
C) Many gamers have theorized that Banjo Kazooie was the original first-ever Tetris game, but does this theory hold liquid water?
D) In Yoshi, enemies fall from the top of the screen. But in Tetris, it's blocks instead! How could Nintendo have gotten away with this specific inconsistency?
E) 3 Yoshis divided by 4 goombas and 1 Red-shelled Koopa paratroopa equals 10 Waluigis and half a Sir Kibble. True / False ? Show your work.

Lego Racers 2 (GBA)

Lego Racers 2 (2001) for the Gameboy Advance is the sorry sequel to Lego Racers. The controls on this game aren't that great. This game plays as if Super Mario Kart were ripped off and then combined with an unproductive RPG. The characters in Story Mode will bore you to tears with their horrid, time-wasting dialogue as you endure more of Lego's forced lore. All you wanna do is race karts, but you have to play it like a board game first and find the right person to challenge.

Public quiz:
1) Why does Lego insist on forcing lore upon us?
2) How many Lego sets do you own?
3) Name your favorite NES game for the Sega Genesis.
3) If three triangles attend Mario's house party, how many Sonic the Hedgehogs does it take to cut a Donkey Kong some slack?
3) What happens when you mix Mega Bloks and Legos? (Hint: Divide by zero)

Another Bible (Gameboy)

Another Bible (1995) is a Gameboy game from the Last Bible series. It's not bad, I kinda like it. It's a strategy RPG, and it's turn-based at that. One could say this game is tactical and strategetic. This game was only released in a place known as Japan, but a translation patch can be found for it online. Just ask the Internet! Also, this game is compatible with the Super Gameboy!

Description quiz:
A) You're in a cave. To the west is a SNES, to the north a Famicom, to your right rests a Dreamcast, and to the south is a TurboGrafx-16. You have 2 double A batteries, a sandwich, a deck of cards, and a Yoshi. What do you do?
B) If Mario is pregnant, how many Goombas can the RX-78 take out before Megaman defeats Rockman for defeating Batman? Divide your answer by 3 and show your work.
C) What's your favorite turn-based RPG and why?

Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2005 Adventures GBA (Full Video)

Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2005 Adventures for GBA was supposed to be a game which stood with the phenomenal, influential Cabela's game series. But it's lame. The console and PC versions of this game were released in 2004, despite the game having 2005 in the title. More proof that Cabela's was ahead of its time.

POST-VIDEO TEST:
1) When is wabbit season?
2) Divide 7 by 0. Now add 10. Determine how many cells is in the body of number 10. Now take 10 and multiply it by 12.3. Put the end result in a hypotonic solution and record the final result. Show your work: True or False?
5) What's a Cabela?
8) How many deer live in Pennsylvania right now? Cite your sources.

Energy Breaker (Combat System)

(Part 4) VGA Chron guy picks Energy Breaker back up again in order to understand the battle system. As it turns out, this game is not for the beginner RPGer. You may have to try harder than I did to play this game well.

Ancient quiz:
1) When does Sonic the Hedgehog make a cameo in Energy Breaker?
2) If you were Sonic the Hedgehog, how many Wii U games would you buy?
3) What's the square root of 7 Sonic the Hedgehog rings, divided by 52 Super Mushrooms? Show your work in Microsoft Excel.
4) Seriously, how many times does Sonic show up in Energy Breaker and Lufia II?

Energy Breaker (SNES)

VGA Chronicles presents the first VGA Chron video ever. Brought to you by VGA Chron Guy. Energy Breaker (1996) is a Super Famicom RPG with isometric graphics and stuff. It's interesting in a way. But I really don't know what I'm doing.

Survey:
A) What's an RPG?
B) How many magic spells does it take to defeat a dragon in Super mode?
C) Which weapon was used to defeat Yoshi in Castlevania III?
D) How many Pikachus does it take to convince Mario that he's just a figment of Kirby's imagination from one of Sonic's dreams about this game?

Cabela's Big Game Hunter for GBA (Full Video)

Cabela's Big Game Hunter (2002) is a game which is part of the most influential game series in all of game history - the Cabela's series. A lot of games rip off the foundational aspects of Cabela's without giving the proper credit that Cabela's deserves. Cabela's is a hunting game series. You hunt things in these games. This game isn't very good, honestly. It's a disgrace to the Cabela's name!
