May Quiz - Clues #1

I hope your battery still lasts a bit, this month is at best half over - more than enough time to join the 35 contestants (one from here) that already submitted their first round of anwers.
In regards to points all doors are still open, the top 10 already starts at sixteen correct answers... maybe these clues will help:

1) Twelve games for Nintendo platforms, three each for Sega and Atari, plus six for Sony. A single title remains a mystery for now.
2) For the companies named above, the rule is "three quiz entries per console" (pre-advance Game Boys count as one though)
3) Number 8 & 9 were launch titles.
4) Number 1 is said to be the best game for that console.
5) the games 11 & 17 are turnbased RPGs.

That's it, let's go!

Deadline is Friday the 31st of May, participate via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/

June Quiz - Role Playing Games

You enter the dungeon. Your party consists of a mage in long robes, a female barbarian in a chainmail bikini, a dwarf with an axe as big as his belly and a rogue with cape and dagger. After defeating countless monsters in the torch-lit (fluorescent mushrooms are also an option) corridors, you reach the legendary treasure room - only a massive iron gate is between you and incredible riches!

But whats this? The mage deciphers the old runes - solve the riddle, or may the gate remain closed forevermore... A riddle?? 25 video games?! WTF?!?

The mage rolls for intelligence, the thief examines the gate, while the dwarf lights a bonfire. At least you brought lots of food - rations for three weeks!

Can you solve the riddle? There's even a bonus question for an extra point...

Deadline is Sunday the 30th of June, so you got exactly three weeks.
Please participate via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/

Here is the quiz

June Quiz - Clues #1

Again and again your party rolls for Intelligence and Wisdom, but so far you still haven't found out all games. Truly not an easy task for the so far 30 participants (three from here).

But searching the room reveals further ancient runes... what's that? Clues?! °_° Well here we go!

1) Slightly more than half of the games are western RPGs.
2) Almost all games are part of a series.
3) Four games in this quiz have (also) been released on the Commodore Amiga.
4) Number 6, 12 and 16 can only be played on Nintendo consoles.
5) In the first versions of title 25 the player character still looked like this: @

You still have two weeks to join!

Deadline is sunday the 30th of June, please participate via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/
