Ghoul School (NES) SVGA Chron

Ghoul School (1992) is a poorly aged/poorly birthed game-thing where you're a punk rock kid in a school filled with overpowered creatures and no guidance whatsoever. The game is basically impossible, and for 1992 there is no excuse for why it was even put out for the NES.

Info time:
A) Have you ever been spooked?
H) What was it like?
H) Say "oof" ten times fast.
H) RIP Luigi Mario, 1983 - 2018
H) Divide a ghost by the square root of a skeleton.
!) What kind of Pokemon are you and how do you make an omelette?

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (NES) SVGA Chron

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1989) was a game created by someone about some book. There was a guy known as The Angry Video Game Nerd who brought attention to the greatness of this game, making the game prosperous in the 1700's. You're some guy that has an anger management problem, and you go around town bullying people into submission, causing you to turn into a rabid fire-breathing cannibal or something. Not sure. Needs more analysis, but I think I'm pretty close.

Angry quiz:
A) How many lizards does it take to fill up a canyon?
N) Name 5 Crayola crayon colors that you wish existed.
G) Do some math and show your work.
R) Why sonic blue? He sad?
Y) Tell me something interesting. Free bonus credit points.

Gex 3: Deep Pocket Gecko (GBC)

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".

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.
