1. C - I can't believe that I'm just guessing, but I'd have to assume it would be released for Christmas.
2. A - Heh! 20X6. Hey, Stinko Man! Everybody says you're the guy, but I want to be the guy, too!
3. C - I'm torn between B and C. Never played Ice Climbers. I only know them as the Ice Climbers from Super Smash Bros. Melee.
4. A - Ah! The Lost Vikings! It has a jammin' musical score that'll make you want to get up and move!
5. A - I think...
6. C - I loved the first boss from this game. He just kept saying "I will crush you!" while you blasted the living hell out of him!
7. A - Asteroids had a soundtrack!?
8. A - C just looks like it's too obvious of an answer.
9. B - I've heard enough people give me crap about this game just because it has the word "dug" in the title.
10. C - Eh wot!
