Gimme A Break: Shijou Saikyou no Quiz Ou Ketteisen 2, released for the
Famicom in 1992, is the second game in a series by Yonezawa PR21 based on a

fast and if you are not going to cheat using save states, then this game is

The game flow is the following. You choose a region of Japan that your
character lives in. Then you will compete in the regional quiz championships.
This is composed of a qualifying quiz that you have to get 10 questions right
to pass, then you compete against the other contestants from your region that
also passed the qualifying test. If you get first or second place, you will
move on to the national level of the game. Again, you must pass a qualifying
quiz. Then you will compete against the other contestants that made it
