July Quiz - Clues #1

This round has been running for a week, so far 35 people have demonstrated their map skills. Not bad, but I'm sure there are plenty more to come! However, almost no one has got the bonus question right yet, so I want to give something away here - I cheated a bit, this is not a computer game.

Here come the first clues:

1) Game 1 shaped its genre so much, the term "Game 1 clone" was very common for years.
2) In Game 14, the first in a long series, you are exclusively in the water.
3) The first version of map #3 more or less founded an entire genre.
4) Four titles in this round have been released exclusively for Nintendo consoles.


Deadline is Sunday 31st July, enter via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/

Here's the quiz again, good luck: https://i.imgur.com/c3y7vic.png

Up to a semi-respectable 14 now. I'm missing 3 Nintendo titles and haven't figured out #3 yet.

July Quiz - Clues #2

One more weekend and then the final sprint of this round begins - you have just under ten days left to join! Fifty-five players are already in.
There will be no more clues next Friday, just a reminder to the forgetful procrastinators among you.

Here come the second clues:

1) The 15 is an automap in a game from a west RPG series.
2) Game 10 was not released until over 20 years after its completion.
3) In title 12 you use a hovercraft as one of the ways to move around the game.
4) Nothing is Commodore exclusive, but 8, 17, 19 & 20 are multiplatform games that were also released on C64 or Amiga.

Deadline is Sunday 31st July, enter via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/.

Here is the quiz again, good luck: https://i.imgur.com/c3y7vic.png

I'm quite sure I'll end up being a wreck. (stuff you didn't realise you never looked up...)

[gimbal]

Gosh darnit, I got #15 finally. I already guessed it before but came up with nothing in the Google image search so thought I had it wrong. I simply needed to do a different search term though, the exact phrasing in the hint made the lightbulb go off. Sometimes Google is a fickle beast.

[Nobby_UK]

Based on the Colour + Font
I have a guess for #15

July Quiz - last weekend

As one month draws to a close, the current quiz round will soon be over too.... So far we are seventy people, of which three are from this forum. Well, which of you is still missing?

You only have this weekend to join the game!

The deadline for entries is this Sunday, 31st of July. Enter via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/

Here's the quiz one last time: https://i.imgur.com/c3y7vic.png

[TCD]

Damn! Was/am too busy to rack/wreck my brain one last time. 10 it is for this month then.

[Havie]

Found one more just in time but - what looked like an easy quiz was not!!!

What are you doing to us Mr H?

[gimbal]

I don't see how this can be easy. The in-game map isn't exactly the most popular thing to screenshot or create a youtube video about. Because it's pretty boring really.

[Havie]

Yes but compared to the previos month...
