This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

Based on the cult-hit Japanese TV show GameCenter CX, about Japanese comedian Shinya Arino being forced by his (fictional) bosses to complete certain tasks in various video games, Retro Game Challenge has you completing various tasks across eight games designed to evoke the NES/Famicom style: Cosmic Gate, Robot Ninja Haggleman, Rally King, Star Prince, Robot Ninja Haggleman 2, Rally King SP, Guadia Quest, and Robot Ninja Haggleman 3. The games even come with instruction booklets, plus magazines are added as you progress which contain hints and cheats.

Unfortunately, the game wasn't a success Stateside, resulting in the sequels (GameCenter CX: Arino no Chousenjou 2 and GameCenter CX: 3-Choume no Arino) not getting localized.
