It is at the very least ambiguous, because technically #7 has 3D graphics for example but I don't think you intended to count that one

April Quiz - Clues #2
Have you ever wondered what the fruit on #1 is? It's there from the very first game of the series from the early 90s after all... I googled it today, it's a tomato. Now you know. Over 60 people are already taking part in this veggie round, you can too! :P Even more so with these second and last hints: 1) Six games in this round-up first appeared as arcade machines. 2) In game 13 you fight against gods of Greek mythology. 3) Number 17 is a game for the Atari 2600. 4) And the last one - the 16th entry is a fantasy RPG Deadline is next week Saturday the 30th of April, enter via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/. Here's the quiz again, you have one week left: https://i.imgur.com/fVJp71C.png |

Being a headteacher, I think it is a valid question and was very happy to answer it but I wouldn't know how the answers would impact the quiz?
This is all a bit thought provoking and deep for a Sunday night after I have spent about 6 hours working on school paperwork! |

Fair enough - useful to know the dynamics of the quizzers as it seems quite easy to offend people (without meaning to) now days!

@darkwave, you are an entire day too late. I have already started to post the answers in the german forums - but I can probably still add you to the overall scores.
English quiz results coming tomorrow! |

30 days in April! Oh well. I should have had this entry in well before now. Lesson learned.
Whatever you think is acceptable @Mr_Horizon. I don't mind missing out. I know what I got. Last edited by darkwave; 02 May 2022 at 00:00. Reason: Added @ |

April Quiz - Answers & Score Did you know that strawberries are not berries, but nuts? But bananas are berries? So weird! Let's make things clearer by solving the veggie puzzle... we start with the bonus question. If you had imagined the quiz players to be a rather homogeneous group, you were right: if you leave out the almost 15% strong "don't like to answer" fraction, the field of players (this time 132 people strong) of this quiz series is almost 95% male and about 90% white. Here's a pie chart: https://i.imgur.com/o51R89h.png Does it matter? No. Was it interesting to see once? I think it was. But now something really important, namely the answers to lasts months puzzle... first the names of the games as text, then the pictures, then the award ceremony. 1) Kirby and the Forgotten Land This is a damn good tomato, because it replenishes all your life energy. Answer rate: 91% Other suggestions: 8x Super Smash Bros, Mario World 2) Bubble Symphony One of the many sequels to Bubble Bobble, "Bubble Symphony" appeared as an arcade machine in 1994 and was later ported to the Saturn.

Answer rate: 72% Other suggestions: Yoshi, Bonk's Adventure 10) Zool For "Zoop or zoot or something with the green guy and yellow horns" by Embrodak there was just barely no point, because unfortunately Zool doesn't have yellow horns. Answer rate: 64% Other suggestions: - 11) Super Mario Sunshine Who remembers those nasty fruit mini-games? Answer rate: 66% Other suggestions: Animal Crossing, Katamari Damacy, Banjo-Kazooie 12) Parappa the Rapper Significantly better known than I expected! Should have swapped it in order with number 5.
