The "final five" only exist to manage the amount of "full score" winners - if there's too many it gets more difficult, and if titles actually go unrecognised it gets easier. Maybe this month is such an instance. I should say that if were to solve my own quizzes, I'd struggle to make it to 12 points myself. I really wonder how some people manage to repeatedly get the full set! First set of clues is coming later today. |

June Quiz - Clues #1
And once again the puzzle is DIFFICULT. So far 26 participants, very low average score and there's still games that have not been recognised.... Maybe YOU can do it? Here come the first clues: 1) Eight games in this round have been released exclusively for only one system - three of them for Nintendo GBA and three for Commodore Amiga. 2) Number 6 - in this final part of a platformer trilogy, you play a ...fish. 3) #9 came out exclusively for the Switch in 2017, a sports game with more plot than usual. 4) Game 7 is the only title with 3D graphics in this round, here you are on a relaxing holiday and climb a mountain. Deadline is Thursday 30 June, please enter via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/. Here is the quiz again, good luck: https://i.imgur.com/JfDfNe9.png |

June Quiz - Clues #2
Wow, what a short month: we are actually in the last weekend of June already! The short time meets an extra nasty puzzle where despite forty players (of which three from here) not all games have been recognised yet. Whether it's 1986 or 2023, Spectrum home computer or Nintendo Switch... here are the last hints, your forum needs you! 1) The games are spread across the decades as follows: three from the 80s, ten 90s, three 00s, six 10s and three from this decade. 2) Numbers 8 & 14 are early spin-offs from famous & long-running JRPG series. 3) Numbers 12 and 17 you can only play on Windows and Switch... but one of them didn't come out yet. 4) The following titles have (also) been released on the Commodore Amiga: 4,6,11,16,19,20,22,25. Deadline is next Thursday the 30th of June, participation via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/ Here is the quiz again, good luck: https://i.imgur.com/JfDfNe9.png |

Possibly 18, this has been a *very* hard one. Number 7 is also annoyingly familiar.

Attention everyone - this round ends tomorrow (Thursday!)
Also, it recently came to my attention that the quiz thread is now the 3rd largest (by both posts and views) in this forum section. Who would have thought it'd be bigger than the classics "Non-Amiga things that remind you of Amiga things" and "whats your game room" within just five years. Thank you all for your time. |

Tough round. Got my entry in last night. Looks like maybe 18. The remaining 7 answers look mighty familiar though. It's going to be a frustrating one!

June Quiz - Answers & Score It is rare that a game of this series has an answer rate of less than 10% - this time it was even just 0.7% for game #24, so only one user out of over 100 players found the right answer. Congrats to Marek from the ResetEra for this achievement! o_o About the bonus question: 94% of you are vaccinated, 6% have no vaccination (and 24 users were left out because of no or unclear answer). Sounds quite reasonable? And on a personal note - the NexGam community and the World-of-Players are dropping out due to a lack of players, instead the Forum64 and the Circuit Board are joining with a total of seven players. A warm welcome! But now it's time for some answers... first the names of the games as text, then the pictures, then the high score table. 1) Crash Bandicoot XS Also known as "Crash Bandicoot - the huge adventure". Answer rate: 99% Other suggestions: - 2) Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone The adaptation of the first film for the GBA. Answer rate: 96% Other suggestions: - 3) Spyro 2: Season of Flame Which character from the first row is the most famous: Harry, Simba, Spyro, Ecco or Crash? It's Spyro... As the only one with 100% Answer rate. Answer rate: 100% Other suggestions: - 4) Lion King The adult Simba in battle against Scar. Answer rate: 99% Other suggestions: - 5) Ecco Jr The prequel to the Sega Dolphin games. Answer rate: 91% Other suggestions: Arielle, EcoQuest, The Touryst 6) James Pond 3 Answer rate: 71% Other suggestions: 3x Yoshi, Super Mario Bros, Wario world, Jelly Boy, Muppets, Rex 7) A Short Hike This is a bird, not a penguin. Answer rate: 53% Other suggestions: 9x Animal Crossing, club penguin, Disgaea, Minish Cap, Pingu, The Turyst, Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero 8.) Final Fantasy 2 Answer rate: 53% Other suggestions: 3x Gauntlet, Athena, Dragon Quest Monsters, Gianna Sisters, Kid Icarus, Red Sonya, Wonder Boy in Monster World 9) Golf Story Sports Story, which has not yet been released, apparently uses the same protagonist and therefore also counted. Answer rate: 57% Other suggestions: Pokemon, Earthbound, Harvest Moon, go vacation, gravejard keeper, Andy Capp, Mother, River City, Stardey Valley 10) Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP From this title on, the answer rate drops below 50% and stays there... Answer rate: 46% Other suggestions: FEZ, Flashback, Hyper light drifter, Kingdom: Two Crowns, Machinarium, Salt & Sanctuary, Uncanny Valley 11) Arabian Nights We already had this last year (my mistake), at least the sprite was completely different. Answer rate: 33% Other suggestions: 7x Aladdin, Earthbound, (Super) Mario Bros, Mario vs Donkey Kong, Soccer Kid 12) ElecHead Released last month on the Switch, but has been available for PC for some time. Answer rate: 38% Other suggestions: 9x Mega Man, Chibi Robot, Blaster Master, Bomberman, Super Magnetic Neo 13) To the Moon This is the fight against the squirrel!

Answer rate: 30% Other suggestions: Broforce, Door Kickers: Action Squad, Exit the Gungeon, Hero Legend, One step from eden, Zelda 16) Base Jumpers One of the three Amiga exclusive titles in this round. Answer rate: 23% Other suggestions: Incredible Crash Dummies, Pilotwings, Amiga Boy, California Games, Commander Keen, Crazy Sue, Downwell, Magic Pockets, Mr. Pants, sega rally, Sky Scrapers, Sonic The Hedgehog 17) Gunbrella This game doesn't come out until 2023!

Quite a few were 'get-able' if we were shown a bit (quarter screen ?) more
Well Done All |

Congratulations to Little Havie
I don't know half of the games on that list, but I could have done better if I gave it a bit more time. Lesson learned for the next round |
