I didn't know it worked on TMNT, and I don't think it worked on Rush 'N Attack?

But it definitely works in Gradius and Life Force (aka Gradius 2)!
 
Two answers I know are wrong. One, from doodles, zelda carts are in both gold and gray. I have both of each. Also, Yoshi was released before yoshi's cookie, in both the u.s. and japan. Though I also checked, super mario world was before either of those.

Well, Karnov actually had a flying level in it where he had to constantly pick up "Wings" power-ups to keep flying or else he's fall into the abyss. So I'd also accept Karnov as a valid answer to that question, or just about any other question, cause that mofo could do anything!

Some of the worst/weirdest game sound effects ever though.
 
dude the contest isnt over yet. I need tons of questions. So until a good amount of questions have been posted the contest goes on.
 
What do the non-winners get for posting their questions if you use them? I hope that you credit CAG (the site) and a lot of these folks for at least giving you ideas.
 
Thanks for the trip down memory lane OP. To get the answers either copy and paste it to Notepad, or just highlight it with your mouse. I guess it isn't a perfect match, but I kind of masked it for anyone that wants to try to guess the answers on their own.
