Dr. Chaos (NES) SVGA Chron



Dr. Chaos (1988) is a thing on the NES where you walk around in a weird house and do stuff, with some obstacles in the way and some rooms that lead to other rooms. Eventually, you get out of the house or something, I don't know. I was very confused and disoriented when I played this RPG.

Thing time:
1) What kind of things do you do when you wanna do things?
G) What is this game about?
6) Give me 5 good reasons why Sonic is better than Pac-Man.
2) Which Pokemon guest-starred on Survivor in 1993?
97) Divide Weepinbell by Shadow the Hedgehog. Carry the 1. Add 7, then divide by 16.

Thanks for watching Super VGA Chronicles stream clips.

2) Sell me car insurance.
3) jk, frig off, bro.

5) Are Gex games bad, or am I just VGA Chron Guy?

Thanks for watching VGA Chronicles.

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?
D) How many square dots fit into a cucumber?

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.
72) If Yoshi and Pikachu have a son together named Ryu, and Spyro lays 694 eggs within a span of 200 years, while the Nintendo NX released Pokemon Rainbow Nebula, there's still a chance Bernie can win, click here to find out.

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".

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)

Dinosaur GBC (Full Video)



Dinosaur (2000) for GBC. Personally, if you ask me, this game is hard. I wouldn't play it again even if you asked me to. It's just not a fair game and it's too easy to screw up completely. I'd rather play Gex again.

A) How many electrons does a hydrogen atom have when it is bonded with oxygen?
B) Which cell organelle synthesizes proteins?
C) Why is Mario's suit green and Luigi's purple?

That Other Bionicle Game for GBA (Full Video)



This is the Bionicle GBA port from 2003. It is a difficult game. Not sure what the story is. I never understood Bionicle lore. This game is hard, it's not a turn-based RPG. I don't know if I can play this again. I can, but I don't know if I want to. I might, but I might also not. :/

Final Exam:
1) Why do so many people hate Bionicle for GBA, especially me?
2) How many Legos can you fit into a crab carcass before sundown if you start an hour late?
3) How can this game possibly be enjoyed?
4) How many grams of cellulose was used to construct Mario from Paper Mario for the Nintendo 63?

Dinosaur GBC (Part 1)



Disney's Dinosaur (2000) for Game Boy Color is a game based on a movie by Disney. I never saw the movie. This game is an action puzzle adventure. It is unforgiving in difficulty, even though some 10 year old kid can probably beat it in an hour. Well, some 10 year old from 2000. Kids these days don't understand retro. They can't comprehend it.

That other Bionicle game (Part 2)



Part 2: Bionicle Lego models look cool, but the lore is incredibly forced. No one understands what is going on in this series. I just bought these Legos because I couldn't afford Gundam model imports as a teenager.

B) What's your favorite Nintendo 63 game?
3) Luigi + Hydrogen + Radium = ?
D) Name a game worse than this one.

That other Bionicle game (Part 1)



Bionicle (2003) is a game based on Legos. It's about these robot-like things made out of Legos and they live on an island, but there are some bad ones and they get mad and fight the good ones. So some of the good ones are stronger so they fight the bad ones. You play as a good one.

Description quiz:
1) Define "bionicle" in simple terms.
3) Why doesn't this game make sense?
4) Why did Shigeru Miyamuto take the Super Mushrom out of SMB1?
