America Oudan Ultra Quiz - Shijou Saidai No Tatakai (japan) Game
📅 1991

Ever stumbled into a weird, hyper-Japanese take on American trivia? That's America Oudan Ultra Quiz for you—a gloriously bizarre NES game where you answer rapid-fire questions about... well, America, but filtered through a 1980s Japanese game show lens. The pixelated host grins at you like a maniac while timers tick down, and half the fun is seeing how wildly off some of the translations are.
First few minutes? You're thrown straight into multiple-choice chaos—stuff like "Which US president wore a hat?" with options that may or may not make sense. The music’s this frantic synth track that makes even easy questions feel like life-or-death. And yeah, it’s in Japanese, but the kanji’s simple enough that you can muddle through with basic knowledge or sheer guesswork.
Honestly, it’s less about winning and more about laughing at how earnest the whole thing is. There’s something charming about a game that thinks "American culture" is just presidents, Hollywood, and... cowboy hats, apparently. If you’re into retro oddities, this one’s a trip.
