The All You Can Eat Quiz

Answer: Mushrooms

Mushrooms were a very important part of the "Mario Bros." games. Besides extra size and power, some mushrooms gave you extra life and some made you temporarily impervious to hits from your enemies.

Answer: Apple

"Streets of Rage 2" was an early fighting game. You would search back alleys and side streets for magical apples. By eating one of these video fruits you would become stronger and your healing power would increase. Your injuries from kicks, punches and stab wounds would heal twice as fast.

Answer: Eggplant

Purple foods are usually full of lutein, vitamin C, fiber and flavonoids. But if you saw an eggplant while playing "Kid Icarus" you wanted to run away just as fast as you could. The Eggplant Wizards would attempt to throw one of these at you and if contact was made you turned into a giant.

This was just about the worst thing that could happen to you while you were trying to find your way through a dungeon maze.

Answer: BurgerTime

The whole point of the game "BurgerTime" was to make hamburgers. You were also attempting to avoid your enemies the evil Mr. Pickle, Mr. Hot Dog and Mr. Egg. You would win by taking ingredients and making hamburgers and if needed, you could drop ingredients on the head of your enemy. There is so much food in this game, that it is quite possibly fattening to play.

Answer: Bowl of Gruel

Eating a bowl of gruel, one of the least nutritious and cheap foods on the planet, helped you gain strength in this video game. All the other options are high price foods that were eaten by the rich. In this game two players could race each other through a maze of rooms to get to the yummy bowl of gruel.

Answer: Fruit

You are trying to eat fruit. There are watermelon, apples and pears for you to eat. Each fruit strengthens you in a different way while you try to defeat a dark wizard that you are battling in a fictional universe. Be warned, this role-playing game could give you a bad case of the munchies. At least, that is what other players have told me.

Answer: Pizza

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" have used pizza in all their games. These magical pizzas give you the ability to jump, flip, and give you energy. They also help to restore your health. Who knew about the benefits that eating multiple pizzas could provide!

Answer: True

"Spore" is a unique game that is based on the life cycle. You start the game as a generic microscopic organism. Through feeding, growing, and adaptation, you progress through the game until you become an intelligent creature capable of intergalactic travel and interaction with species from other worlds.

There are a variety of foods found. You may change from a carnivore, to a herbivore and then to an omnivore, before starting all over again.

Answer: Purple pickles

In the multi-player game of "Fast Food" you are a pair of giant lips trying to eat as much fast food as you can. Hot dogs, french fries, soda pop, and hamburgers are just part of the menu. But beware of the dangerous purple pickle that may come your way.

The game is over after you have eaten six of them. The winner of the game is the player who manages to eat the most calories before the end of the game.

Answer: True

Kraft Foods joined up with Mattel to come up with this video game. Many folks thought it was a thinly disguised advertisement. In this game the evil Thirsties would show up as the player cavorted outside in a pool. At this time you would assist Kool-Aid man in chasing off the evil Thirsties by providing everyone else with Kool-Aid to drink. If you are going to mess with all the food found in the previous games, it becomes necessary to have something to drink.
