Annoying 64 You're sick of the general stupidity of a lot of humans, so you decide to get your revenge by being as annoying as possible [as an aside, I think this ranks among the best game stories ever]. If someone ever says anything that could be considered to be in some way "correct," shout out, "Meeeowth! That's right!" Answer every question asked of you with, "Because I love you." Eg., "Why, when you borrowed my car, did you crash it into a tree?" "Because I love you." If someone ever doesn't hear what you say properly and says, "What did you say?" reply with, "That's what I said!" Or if they say, "What?" reply with, "That's what!" The game's end boss is someone else who fancies himself annoying by repeating everything anyone says. When you catch on you say, "Are you repeating everything I say?" to which he replies, "Are you repeating everything I say?" Well, two can play that game, so then you say, "Are you repeating everything I say?" This continues until one of you dies of thrist. If you survive you are the undisputed most annoying person in the world! I forgot to mention that you get an extra life every time someone screams at you, "Oh, you're really mature!"

Extra Innings 2 It's exactly like Extra Innings, except that when the game goes into extra innings, you get to hear the voice from the beginning of the game scream "Extra!" "INNINGS!" And there's one other new feature: You're allowed to contest balls ruled foul. But every time you do, you just hear, "Fair is foul, and foul is fair."

Hibernation 64 In this game you play as a bipedal mammal whose desire for sleep and hatred of the cold lead you to sleep from December 1st to March 1st. The question is, can a human really hibernate? Only by playing this game will you be able to answer this question. It plays like a simulation game, and begins in the Summer. You need to acquire and eat enough food to gain enough weight so you can survive 3 months without eating. Next, you need to get lots of blankets to keep you warm all winter long. When Winter finally comes along you'll need to completely empty yourself out, so to speak, because you if you're in a truly deep sleep you won't be able to use the bathroom for a long time. The final challenge is to lower your metabolism to the point that you can survive in an extended state of inactivity. The game ends either in Spring, where you awake, refreshed, thin, and happy that you missed the bitter winter, or when you first wake up, and then die because you didn't prepare well enough.

Improved D-Pad I think the d-pad is the best way for controlling games, but after playing several games where I wish I could adjust the character's speed somewhat in a simple matter, I think an improvement needs to be made. My suggesting is to have each direction of the d-pad be able to be pushed down to two different levels, with a slight click as you reach the boundary of the first level, to offer more control over games, while maintaining the accuracy that comes from a d-pad.

R-Type Special Deluxe Edition This is a special arcade cabinet that commemorates the difficulty level of the arcade classic R-Type. The graphics, level design, control and music have been preserved exactly. But you better not die, because if you do the machine will explode and kill you!

Werewolves Outside the Car In this game, you play a hapless motorist who is stranded in your car, which is surrounded by hungry werewolves, on the night of a full moon. Your doors are locked at the start of the game, which prevents the werewolves outside from getting in. The goal of the game is to think of excuses to open the door so the werewolves can kill you. For example, to kill time you might work on a crossword puzzle, but it's too dark to see, so you have to open the door to get the dome light to come on. Or you whine and complain that it's too "stuffy" in the car so you have to open the door, allowing yourself to be eaten by the hungry monsters. Or you might want to see if your car can fly if it moves with both doors open. The possibilities are endless! But you lose if, when the morning sun has vanquished the horrible night and the werewolves revert back to naked people struck with amnesia, you're still alive and intact within your car.
