In "Croc: Legend of the Gobbos", the Gobbos' ruler is King Rufus the Intolerant. His full name is King Rufus the Lactose Intolerant, though only the Gobbos themselves know this.

4. What was the first M-rated game (according to ESRB)?

8. Who do you NOT get an ID card from in "Metal Gear Solid"?

Answer: DARPA Chief

In "Metal Gear Solid", you need certain ID cards in order to open certain doors. You get your first card from Decoy Octopus disguised as the DARPA Chief, not the DARPA Chief himself.

9. In the American release of "Ristar", Ohsat is a shark, Adahan is an armadillo, and Awaueck is an eagle. What is Itamor?

In the Japanese version, Itamor is a cat-like creature. Even in the US release, Itamor's tail can be seen during the credits.

Answer: Conker

11. In "Digimon Rumble Arena 2", Neemon's special is a gigantic gas cloud named what?

14. According to "Zero Wing", who set up us the bomb?

Answer: They

"Zero Wing" was a game that was very poorly translated when it was shipped overseas. Because of this, the opening cutscene has become infamous for its horrible Engrish dialogue, with such quotes as "All your base our belong to us." and "You have chance to survive make your time."

15. The 'Making Of' bonus feature of what game features a video of someone throwing up fruit punch soda?
