I guess for 2021 I'll make it a goal to be in the top 50 Assuming we can expect more quizes of course.

Good result. Looks like it was even more competitive this year.
Three EAB players in the top 20 is great. Only one other forum did better on that measure. |

Well done everyone - only down 6 on last year when I completely missed a month where I would have score 20!
Lets get more involved for next year so we can move EAB up the ladder! |

Well done everyone! And thanks once again Mr Horizon for the huge amount of effort that must go into making this quiz each month!
Congrats on the local win Nobby. And I think we all know deep down that the local 2nd place really belongs to Havie. |

Looking back at the year before, the standards has definitely improved as scores were much higher so we all need to be on top form this year. And yes, huge thanks to Mr H for the quiz especially over the last year when this was a big part of keeping me sane whilst shielding and working 24/7 from home!!! Looking forward to the next one already...and perhaps we can persuade a few more to enter. Damien D we are looking at you... |

...but to be honest; I don't have time to play quizzes. Also, not sure how good I'd be anyway. If it was just about Arcade, Amiga, Mega Drive and SNES games then DOS games and later; I was too busy studying / doing my IT higher diploma to be playing games... well, besides any of the Diablo series |

I suck at most of them too but it's fun to think about it and do a little detective work.

And it only a 'few' hours a month unless you get sucked in and have to try and find those missing ones you haven't got... |

February Quiz - Big Guns Wait what, a new year? Then let's get to it! Massive first person shooter guns, oversized artillery in strategy games, the laser satellite of a mad scientist or straight to a planet killing super weapon? This round we got it all, just making sure everything explodes a whole lot more than it usually would. Do you recognise everything? No?! Well, then enter a game of your choice at the bonus question, as this year we'll have another "make a wish" round that is completely built from user requests. Deadline is Sunday the 28th of February, please participate via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/ Here is the first quiz of the year 2021, good luck! direct link: https://i.imgur.com/DB3xC4Y.png |

I feel that I should know a lot of these but... nope. Oh dear. Off the top of my head recognising 4 or 5 of these...

None of the pictures is recognisable for me. Not a single one rings a bell... This one is insanely difficult. At least for me.
