Play America Oudan Ultra Quiz (Japan) on gb Online

America Oudan Ultra Quiz is one of those weird little Game Boy titles that shouldn’t work but somehow does. You’re basically playing a condensed version of a Japanese game show where contestants sprint across America answering trivia—except now it’s crammed into your handheld. The questions jump from "Who was the 16th president?" to "What’s the capital of Nebraska?" to random bits about '80s pop culture, all with that distinctly Japanese take on Americana.

What’s fun is how unpredictable it feels. One minute you’re nailing every answer, the next you’re staring at a question about some obscure baseball player from the '70s. The pixelated host grins at you like he’s in on the joke, and there’s something oddly satisfying about the way the game just throws categories at you without warning. It’s dated, sure, but in a way that makes it more charming—like finding an old trivia book at a garage sale and realizing half the answers don’t even matter anymore.

If you’re into retro oddities or just love trivia with a side of cultural confusion, this one’s a neat little time capsule. Just don’t expect the questions to play fair.
