All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros. (FDS) SVGA Chron

All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros. (1986) is Mario with a twist. That's right, you guessed it, the entire game is based off of some obscure Japanese TV show. Basically, it's a 1st party hack of the original SMB, but with strange, demented graphics. This game was never released in the US due to how spoopy it was. Oh yeah and it's for the disk system.

Halloween quiz:
1) What's your favorite Christmas food?
01) Binary code is offensive because it's only 0 and 1. What about gay people?
9) Before there were 3 Musketeers, there were 9. So what happened to the other 6?

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.

B) Spell "Dracula".
C) Did you know there are over 5 languages in this world?

The Terminator (1993) and Super Turrican (1993), both for Super Nintendo. And yeah, I suck. Footage was taken from VGA's group stream on 9/22/17. Accompanying VGA are co-hosts Pumpkin and Moff, joined by their guests Tom and CGH.

Just another survey you won't read:
1) What's the appeal of shooter games?
2) As you can see in the video above, VGA is terrible at these games (only these types of course). Why is that? How can he improve?
3) If you've made it this far into the survey, congratulations. You've made a critical mistake. How many Pikachus does it take to screw a Megaman into Luigi's eye socket while Mario is on fire, juggling 7 Bowsers who each are juggling 18 Kamikaze Koopas who are each juggling 72 knives which is each laced with instant-gayification serum?

Felix's NES-based World

Felix The Cat (1992) is a game for NES. It features Felix, a cat, who has a magical bag. In this platformer, Felix gains power-ups that enable more of his magical ability. It is not known what type of cat Felix is. I recommend this game to anyone who is looking for a good time.

Quick Survey:
1) Why hasn't anyone ever heard of Felix The Cat?
2) How many remakes of SMB2 do we need starring Felix?
3) Why didn't Lego Felix premiere last year for the Game Boy Advance?
4) If Felix is so great, why is he a cat? Furthermore, why did Looney Tunes reject him?

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?

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".

3) If a Giraffe barks, is it just a really deformed dog pretending to be an octopus's grandma?
4) If you had a power-up from the Mario series, what would it be and what would you do with it? Why? Elaborate. Why? Why? How? Why? Explain. Divide by 5. Why? Add 10 but subtract 22,000 from the integer, squared by half a goat. Explain how you got your answer.

Gex Enter The Gecko for GBC (Part 1)

Gex for the GameBoy Color is a painful game. Expect to be annoyed or confused, but try to have a good time anyway.

Twin Dragons (NES)

Twin Dragons (2016) is a new NES game in the works by Broke Studio. The version I played was a demo for the 2016 NESdev Coding Competition. This game is a platformer in which you play as a dragon and kill enemies. The dragon I chose, named Dinky, eats peppers and spits fire. The graphics are perfect and the music is catchy and satisfying. Gameplay and controls are nice, however don't forget to press Up+B for the power-up attack and Down+A to descend through platforms. This game is planned for a release on cartridge.
