I can see 8 immediately - yummy!

Coincidentally, Little Hav picked up Bugsnax for his PS5 - would have been perfect for this quiz. What a weird game!

I got 11 off the bat. And I'm already shaking my head at a blatant Amiga omission

I want to cry, you are so right! It's even in an early note I wrote for the fruits quiz... well I had to rush this month a bit, so I guess it happens. But it sure would have been a perfect fit for the first row!

I thought about it, but it was just way to brutal for my kid-friendly quiz environment. I mean, look at this!

Not the ones I was thinking about (I don't even know that one!), but yes I'm sure in this day and age kids will be horrified by seeing something like that

Not a problem for Nobby it seems.

So then, which Amiga game were you thinking of that was so obviously fruit themed? Now I had to look, maybe Bill's Tomato Game?

I'll spill the beans when the quiz is over because there is always the risk I'm thinking of a game that is actually in there but the screenshot is simply obscure

April Quiz - Clues #1

Dear kids, eat more vegetables! It's healthy and all. I don't want to preach any further, instead I wish you Happy Easter with enough time to participate in the April round. Over forty people are already playing.

To make participation palatable (ha!), I'll now write down a few hints:

1) In this round, Nintendo has supremacy - ten games are only available on their platforms.
2) At picture 10 you can see a small part of the main character.
3) For the strawberries of number 5 you need especially good platforming skills.
4) Only 8 games in this round use 3D graphics.

@the Havie family, no drama please!

Deadline is Saturday the 30th of April, participation via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/.

Here's the quiz again, good luck: https://i.imgur.com/fVJp71C.png

I endorse how you said eat more vegetables there, leaving out the fruits Candy with nutritional value is still candy.

Mh, are there any surprises there? I thought it was almost a "non-clue". How many do you count?
