#15, is the most un-sure one

#17, I think we all know the Character --- but which game ?
Some can be ruled out (Graphic style/Era) which leaves a Series (?)
of games with a similar title.

#16, I think I was very Generic

Alright, this self-solving quiz is almost done - thank you to Nobby_UK for the update posts. We are on the penultimate stage, on wednesday you will briefly get the full screenshot (which you will get few points for) and then the round is over!

I suggest you use the remaining days of the month to join in - so far there's 86 players.

Oops. Despite a quick but woeful attempt on the first image, I still ended up doing my answers on the last day. Not gonna be much score for me. Was always the same for my school essays too.

Congrats Nobby on breaking the Top 10 in 8th and also Havie for the highly commendable 12th!

I must admit I found that round hard work, but nevertheless enjoyable as always. I do look forward to a return to the more regular system this month though.

Thanks again for putting it together Mr Horizon.

Yes, definitely. And I am curious about the 2020 end-of-year forum ranking. More people have played than in any year before!
