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.

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 (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.

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?

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".
