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.

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)

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?

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!
