Join Cyril Lachel as he attempts to take the VGAT: Video Game Aptitude Test, a grueling 160 question quiz first published in the December 1999 issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly. This trivia contest covers everything from the Nintendo Entertainment System to the Atari Jaguar, Street Fighter to Virtua Fighter, the U-Force to Menacer and Gravity Kills to Sugar Ray.

In this first (of three) episodes, we'll cover questions 1 through 45, which will involve multiple choice, identification and analogies. Will you be able to outscore Cyril and become the true video game expert? Take the Video Game Aptitude Test and find out!


You're not done yet! The atpitude test continues in Part 2 and Part 3. Go go go!
