Monthly Retro Gaming Quiz

[darkwave]

I probably should have got a couple more, but blimey Nobby, Little Havie and Havie. Well done!

Well Done All

[gimbal]

I didn't recognize Borderlands the Pre-Sequel.

I don't know who I am anymore.

Then again I didn't recognize the majority of these games, the only obvious ones to me were Superhot, TF2, Blue Shift (Gearbox Barney...), Robocop 3 and Dread :/

Same here. I played around 60% of them at one point, but I didn't even recognize the Doom Eternal screenshot. Ah well, maybe next round.

[Havie]

Dread was confusing as it's not even a finished game!

October Quiz - Make-a-Wish

Once in a while, there's a bonus question where you can wish for games that will then, with a bit of luck, be used in a round like this one. From the roughly 100 entries I got in the last question, I have chosen 25 titles, one from each participating forum.

The following criteria influence the chance that a title will be chosen:

- Has the game been in another quiz before? If not, then +1!
- Did several users wish for the same title? If yes, then +1!
- Are there good screenshots of the game that don't look like other titles? If yes, then +1!
- And lastly: Does the player participate regularly? The more often, the better.

The more of the above is fulfilled, the more likely it is that your game will be in the next Make-a-Wish round.

And like last time: If you don't recognise your own wish, you lose one point!

Deadline is Monday 31st October, participation via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/.

Here's the quiz - is your game in there?

This time it's not my fault! These are all user wishes!

[Nobby_UK]

6 and 4 maybes

[gimbal]

Hm... know 10. And then I count #16 for which I do not know the exact game yet, but I recognise the graphical style to know from which software kitchen it came (I hope...).

[Nobby_UK]

Found another 6

And another 6

October Quiz - Clues #1

25 screenshots, 25 forums, and 25 players, that's what it looks like right now in the make-a-wish October quiz. While every game has been guessed at least once, no one has been able to score full points... which means YOU can still win this round.

Nine people have already found "their game", but oh dear: one player didn't recognise his own wish and will get a minus point if he doesn't realise it before the end of the month!

Here come the first clues:

1) With the 4, 6, 8 and 14, there's some famous RPG series included - two from the East, two from the West.
2) Titles 17 and 20 are each set in one of the world wars.
3) Games 5 and 9 are new and only released this year.
4) This round does not show a single Amiga screenshot and only one of the games has been ported to this home computer.

Deadline is Monday 31st October, enter via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/.

And it is not the C64 one

There's a 64 game???

Got 21 at the moment - may have reached my limit.

[Havie]

And is the Amiga one a modern port I wonder?

[TCD]

Got a few, but there are some games that I'm sure were released only on systems I've never owned. Interesting how recent some of the games are.

[Havie]

Its generally the modern pixel games that are hard to get... look retro but aren't!

If it is the one I think it is ? :
Then it had an update this year
Though it first appeared over 20 years ago.

But he is prob... thinking of the C64 game

Think I'll bang in my 20-22 ?

Thinking about it - you're right about the C64 one!
