There's 64 players as of today, and one week left to join in.

January Quiz - Clues #2

This is the very last clue post, in the very last round... so now it's really time to join, or are you really gonna miss this?? Seventy-five people had enough FOMO to already submit their entries - you do however still have time until next WEDNESDAY.

Here we go:

1) Game 20 is from a German developer whose last title was a big disappointment.
2) Number 11 is a racing game from the 90s.
3) In picture 14, you are controlling a well-known superhero.
4) Title 16 is an RPG based on D&D.

Besides the FOUR bonus points from the additional questions, don't forget the "bonus point for all":
If this forum manages to surpass its highest number of participants, every player from here gets a bonus point.

The deadline is next Wednesday the 31st January, participation via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/

Cool theme, but I think I'd have more success identifying footy games (and boy do I hate soccer). Apparently without really knowing it I stay far away from games with musicians.

January Quiz - Answers & Score

As hoped, the very last quiz round has set a record for participation - I'm happy about every one of the 185 users who took part. Some players were completely new, and some really have been playing for the whole ten years. Wow!
There were five different ways to get bonus points in the final round - let's just start with that.

1) The most participants?
There were the most players of all 100 rounds in the last one - 185 people. The closest with "186" was Scorplian from the Gaming Village Forum. Congratulations!
Close behind were Havie (187), Philippe161 (187) and Illusionary (181).

2) The fewest participants?
You didn't have to guess here, if you like digging through over ten years old forum threads you could find out for sure. The correct answer is 5 people, in the "unconventional racing" round in March 2015.
Seven people got it right, so congrats to n_quadra, Jokus, the Ost-West Elite, Gerhard, malus, yollum and OfflineChris.

3) How many participants in total?
There was a lot of guessing between "50" and "10000". But after completing this last round, the number was clear: there were 846 players.
The closest was "856" by ElginMcQueen from the RetroGamer forum. Very nice!
Almost there were Malus (874), Popeye (888) and xxr (889).

4) How many games in total?
This is not so easy to answer - Mega Man looks the same in many games, also fighting games use the same characters across several versions. So there is some blurring, but for the bonus question the correct answer is 2124.
One user guessed "2123" and thus almost exactly hits the correct amount, and it's Windfisch from the hardcore gaming 101 forum. Superb!
Malus (2118) and ToniLustig (2146) were close behind.

5) Forum bonus for participation record
Which forum has managed to reach or even surpass its all-time high of players? FIVE communities have achieved this.

14 out of 13 so far - Multimediaxis
13 out of 12 so far - Gamepro Discord
05 out of 04 so far - Atari Age
06 out of 06 so far - PC Canard
04 out of 03 so far - GamersGlobal

This means that EVERY player from these forums has received an extra point this round. All bonus points are "unweighted", which means that a correctly guessed game still counts more than the bonus point in case of doubt.

LOCAL HIGH SCORE:

1 - 21 points - Nobby_uk
2 - 19 points - mailman
3 - 18 points - Havie

Congratulations to Nobby_uk for the local lead in the last round.

None of you got one of the five bonus points - but you did well even without bonuses.

Many thanks to everyone for participating! There's one more thing to look forward to, at the end of the month there will not only be an evaluation for the past season (2023), but also a special list for the entire series - and of course the raffle of prizes.

[gimbal]

The end of an era. Monkey Island 3 was sorely missing though The epic banjo blowout!

[Havie]

I knew 19 was an Amiga game, I hold my head in shame.

Well done Nobby and Mailman.

And we all made it into the draw.

[Nobby_UK]

Yup, 19 was so familiar, I thought it must be an Amiga game

I could have gotten 2 more ---
If I did not miss Clues #2

The retrogamequiz - the lottery winners

So, I've disappeared from the scene for a while, not only in this thread, but in the whole forum (heck, in ALL forums). Mea culpa! Instead of ‘end of March’, the prize draw will now take place at the end of April.

As a reminder, this is what I wrote in January, these prizes are waiting for the lucky winners:

1x Neo Geo Mini from Maniac forum admin Rocco
1x 50€ Mystery Box from ‘www.retroplace.com - Your marketplace for video games & consoles’
1x ATARI: Art and Design of Video Games. The translator Stephan Freundorfer is publishing the ‘Prince of Persia’ diaries together with the game designer Jordan Mechner in April this year.

The prizes will be raffled off among the top 50, no legal recourse.


So, in this picture are the top 50 from the last round - did I forget anyone? ^_^



Now the magic happens...

...if the picture is not enough, here is a video: [ Show youtube player ] More documentation is not available. :P


And our winners! °_°


Mmmh, unfortunately nobody from this forum. -_-

These three users will be contacted in May with their addresses. If someone does not get in touch or does not want to give their address, the prize will be awarded at the end of the month to the user of the respective forum with the most total points.

***

Is that it now? No!

No, because there is one thing left - the 10 year overall ranking, with a special prize. This is coming... sometime in May. We have time now.
