The GBATEMP Video Game Trivia Thread!

[JKR Firefox]

I've decided that since this a forum primarily dedicated to video games that we should have a trivia challenge!

Everyone here knows a lot about video games so this should be fun

Here's the rules:

1. The first person to answer a question correctly gets to post the next question.
2. You don't just have to use text to ask a question, be creative!
3. Please give each person time to post a question after they've gotten it correct. The thread won't die after a few hours. Be patient!
4. The above also applies to someone being given time to verify an answer is correct as well.

So, since I'm the creator of this thread, I get to go first:
