Had a go at this stupidly hard quiz!!! Be lucky if I get more than 3!

[Havie]

Just discovered one I got wrong by complete accident - is there anyway to change my answer?

[Mr_Horizon]

@fedprod: Hey fedprod, so that's how you knew what was going on here. Nobby_UK is one of two users that made it to 15 points (and maybe even beyond?!). It's still an exciting race, I wouldn't want to bet money on either of them. :P

@Havie: yes, you can send the form as often as you like - just leave the fields you want unchanged empty and only fill in the games you want to update.


Also, last set of clues incoming shortly!

[Mr_Horizon]

October Quiz - Clues #3

So, the last weekend is almost over - this round ends on Wednesday night. Did you join yet?? At the moment there are 46 participants, and three from this forum.


Here are the last clues:

1) Game number 9 is not Outrun.

2) Game number 24 is not Tomb Raider.

3) Game number 24 is not Aladdin.

4) Sound 15 is a laughing clown in a point'n'click Adventure.

5) Number 22 remains unsolved - time for drastic measures! The game was released in the 80s and in the 90s, and I have been using the speech sample from the older version... but today I updated it to the modern version, which is much easier to understand.
You might need to refresh your browser though.


This has to be enough - last call, all join!

Deadline is Wednesday October 31st.

Damn. That would have been my claim to fame. I had that right in its original form. One of my favorite games back then.

Well, why didn't you send in your answers then - I might not have changed the sample if someone had figured it out.

Even now we only have ONE person with the correct answer... so why don't you join the game now?

October Quiz - Answers & Score

What a round this is - just 0,03 points between the first and second place! Personally I was surprised to see that Turrican and X-Out were the hardest titles (just three people got each of them right), even though the sounds were from the intros.
And Call of Duty is better known than Mario 64?? Blasphemy! Anyway, I hope you had fun and are looking forward to the Answers.

"Get ready for Crossout"
Really ?!?!

November Quiz - Woof Woof the Dog Quiz

May I introduce, the dog on the picture above is Pepper. He's my dog, a six year old Yorkshire Terrier / Shih Tzu Mix. He is a totally good boy, and would be thrilled to know this riddle is dedicated to him.

AHEM, so this time it's about dogs! Across all years and systems you now have to recognise games from the pictured dogs. Sometimes it's easy as the main protagonist is a dog, sometimes it's hard as we are only talking about a background or side character.

Ah well, I am sure you can do it. :P

Deadline is Friday the 30th November, please participate via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/

Here is the quiz... have fun!

[Nobby_UK]

I think I have 14-16
Depending on how strict you might be on Game Episode/Number...

Got another 3 ?

[Mr_Horizon]

what was that about - that you didn't recognise the speech sample, or that X-Out is pronounced Crossout?

If it's the latter, you are not alone - I also will forever call it "X" Out!

[ Show youtube player ]

[Nobby_UK]

Both !

Strangely it seemed much clearer in the Video ?!?!

[Nobby_UK]

Got One More.

November Quiz - Clues #1

Wow (Woof?) that's a lot of people, more than thirty in the first three days - great! After two weeks it's now 50 participants (two from here), I'm happy you all like this round.

Many of you recognise the first few titles, but towards the end it still gets difficult - which is why nobody has achieved to get full score yet.

By the way, we welcome a new forum to his quiz series - the Retro Canteen is already in it with three users: http://retrocanteen.boards.net/threa...ro-gaming-quiz


Don't give up - here are the first clues:

1) Game 1 und game 19 are license games to TV shows.

2) Watch out a bit on the games 6, 8, 10 und 14 - on these I have already given a few "half points" for unclear or too-far-off answers

3) For the most part game 16 plays in various hospitals.

4) I don't like it when that happens - but one game of the November quiz was already in last months SoundFX quiz.

5) Game 22 frequently makes you decide in morally & ethicaly complicated situations.


Did that help a bit? Go search the game buddy, go search! Good boy! :P

Deadline Friday 30th November, participate via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/

Here is the quiz again, good luck:

1) The following games got released for the playstation 2: 6, 13, 18, 21 and the 25.

3) Number 18 and 21 are the only Survival Horror titles this round.

4) Game 22 was made in this decade.

5) Picture 23 shows a game from an Atari console.


This has to be enough... Go search the game buddy, go search! :P

ppffff! The Mega Man one is a robot, the Jet Set Radio one is a breakdancer and the Animal Crossing dog can talk and play the guitar.

I think we are far enough from reality to get a wolf to pass as a dog.
