Hey, if you get past a score of 999,999...ummm.......Actually, assuming anyone's crazy enough to test this--Could you please tell me if the score would restart, freeze, or if a secret message appears or anything. Much appreciated. -Justin Hack

I took the screenshot and messed with it. I conclude that it is a mix of the two (so if anything it's 16-bit).
These are the 8-bit qualities it has:
:Colors Available: 52 colors
:Max colors at once: 24 colors
:Max sprite size: 8x16 pixels
:Max sprites: 64 sprites
This is the 16-bit quality it has:
:Max sprite size: 64 x 64 pixels
I am still figuring the resolution.

[[Image:rhinofeederbox.PNG|thumb|220px|Now for Super [[Funmachine]]!]]

'''{{Film|Strong Bad}}'s RhinoFeeder''' is a game invented by Strong Bad where you have to feed an angry rhino. You have to avoid snakes to get his food. If you fail to feed the rhino, it charges after you. This game comes equipped with the amazing 32-bit graphics that look almost real! This game is also accessible from the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[video games]].

'''Page Title:''' I Rhino! I hunger!

== Instructions ==
<pre>Feed the rhino.
Don't tread on the snakes.
Hint: The rhino gets mad if he tries to
eat and there is no food.
click to start</pre>

== Fun Facts ==
===Remarks===
*In the Strong Bad Email [[video games]], when the rhino gets mad and charges, Strong Bad moves out of the way, yet, in the real game, you cannot move out of the way.
*Despite its fairly low quality graphics and sound, Strong Bad thinks that it is [[Strong Bad's Technology|high tech]].
*The font for the score in this game and [[Secret Collect]] is drawn in a normal serif font instead of the pixelated font used everywhere else.

===Inside References===
*On the cover box it says "For the Super [[FunMachine]]" which is a reference to [[Secret Collect]]'s cover that said "For the Funmachine". This is also related to the NES and SNES.
*The snakes' [[Sound Effects|sound effect]] is used in the cartoon [[That A Ghost]], in which spiders make it. This sound effect is taken from the Skulltulas in [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]].

===Real-World References===
*This game appears to be a parody of a minigame (Feed the Dragons) that is in the Playstation RPG Chrono Cross. The sound effect the rhino makes, and the way it turns red when Strong Bad fails to feed it in time are identical to this game. (The sound effect is actually a low note played using the General MIDI instrument "fret noise.")
*"Don't Tread on the Snakes" is a reference to the American Revolutionary flag with the caption [[Wikipedia:Gadsden flag|"Don't Tread on Me."]]
*The page title refers to the old arcade game ''[[Wikipedia:Sinistar|Sinistar]]'', where one of the title character's sound bites was "I hunger!"

I took the screenshot a and messed with it to figure it (white, black, 3 shades of yellow, 3 shades of green, 3 shades of red, 8 shades of blue, and 5 shades of gray) as 24-bit. however, this is not an exponant of 2, so it must round up to 32-bit. But, if you were to take out the sky (blue, and clouds--or--blue, and the gray lettering for the score) it would bring it down to 16-bit. [[User:10nitro|10nitro]] 00:37, 3 May 2006 (EPT)
