Also, I hope our answers are coming up correctly as when I came to put my answers in, the page remembered me as Little Havie and then wanted to revert to saved answers so I left Chrome and went to Edge!

Just to note: if ever a Little Gimby starts to participate... that's just my split personality. I'm my own best friend.

September Quiz - Clues #1
The first 35 players have sent in their entries to identify the twentyfive games we are looking for.... No doubt a lot of first-person shooters were released between 1988 and 2023, so this round probably won't be a walk in the park. I wonder how high your answer rate will be? Here are the first clues: 1) In title number 8, there are always four players. 2) Games 4 and 6 were developed by a pioneer of the fps genre. 3) Picture 7 shows a game that was only released for Xbox and Windows. 4) And last, #11 is a "near sci-fi" entry of a well-known series. Deadline is Friday 30th September, enter via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/ Here's the quiz again - good luck! https://i.imgur.com/9tI8cQv.png |

'Only Released for...'
You mean 'debuted on' or 'Initially Released On' As it is now on PlayStation 4 & 5, iOS, Android + Switch |

The Wiki Page... (probably me misreading it) But I see Moby says "Windows, Xbox 360, Xbox One" I did think 'iOS, Android + Switch' were 'Unlikely' |

September Quiz - Answers & Score 126 players confirm it for me - there really are a hell of a lot of first-person shooters out there, and I could create two more puzzles from this round's incorrect submissions alone! I wonder which game in this round was the most guessed? One of the heavyweights of the shooter scene perhaps, so Halo, Doom, Quake or Half-Life? Nah, it's a newcomer that's not even ten years old. Scroll down and see for yourself which one it is. Briefly on the bonus question - the background video is a really old Windows screensaver, called "3D Maze". 53% of you guessed that correctly too! There was no bonus point because some of the answers were a bit vague and I didn't want to be unfair. But now let's start with the answers... first the names of the games as text, then the pictures, then the high score. 1) Halo 3 You got all the Halos wildly mixed up, but it's actually a picture from the third part. Answer rate: 85% Other suggestions: Destiny, Haze, Splitgate 2) Superhot: Mind Control Delete The third entry of the stylish fps with the cool time control feature, and also the most guessed game of this round! Answer rate: 92% Other suggestions: Killer 7, Superliminal 3) Team Fortress 2 Who still remembers Valve's "Orange Box"? Answer rate: 90% Other suggestions: 4x Serious Sam, Borderlands, Fortnite, XIII 4) Quake 3 Arena Maybe the answer rate would have been higher if I had taken the Sarge with the cigar as an opponent and not the funny eye? Answer rate: 67% Other suggestions: Daikatana, Doom, Serious Sam, Unreal, Unreal Tournament, Duke Nukem Land of the Babes, Fortnite, Silent Hill The Escape, The Legs have Eyes 5) Half Life: Blue Shift This version of the Half Life story was even available for the Sega Dreamcast! Answer rate: 91% Other suggestions: Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, System Shock 2 6) Doom Eternal: the ancient gods 2. The "Dark Lord", final boss in the second DLC to Doom Eternal. Answer rate: 65% Other suggestions: 5x Destiny, Daikatana, Gobots, Metal Hellsinger, Painkiller, Unreal, Warhammer 40k 7) Titanfall Even before Apex Legends, Titanfall Assault and Titanfall 2 - this game kicked it all off in 2014. Why did you guess "Gears of War" so often? Answer rate: 42% Other suggestions: 17x Gears of War, Armoured core, Halo, Hawken, Killzone, Resistance, Unreal Tournament 8.) left 4 dead 2 Answer rate: 48% Other suggestions: Serious Sam, Back 4 Blood, Far Cry, Gears of War, Bioshock, Call of chtullu, dead island, Goblin Commander, GTFO, Killing Floor 2, Rage, The hunchback of Notre dame, The Thing, Unreal Tournament 9) Wolfenstein: The New Order The double assault rifle combo immediately reminds me of the new Wolfensteins. Answer rate: 54% Other suggestions: Fallout, Resistance: Fall of Man, singularity, The Darkness 10) Dusk Answer rate: 49% Other suggestions: Witches, Medal of Honor, Painkiller, Blood, Clive Barker's Undying, Daikatana, Quake, SiN, Unreal 11) Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare This is the CoD with Kevin Spacey as the villain. Answer rate: 44% Other suggestions: 5x Deus Ex, Mass Effect, Prey, Battlefield, Cyberpunk, Titanfall, Apex Legends, Bioshock Infinite, Crysis, Dead Space, Destiny. Half Life: Alyx, Haze, Portal, Quake 4, The Persistance 12) RoboCop 3 The technically "ambitious" adaptation of a bad film for home computers (Amiga, Atari, DOS). Answer rate: 35% Other suggestions: The Matrix, Terminator, Siphon Filter, MIDI Maze, Killer 7, John Wick Hex, James Bond 007, Die Hard 13) Borderlands: the Pre-Sequel Answer rate: 56% Other suggestions: Titanfall, Bulletstorm, Mechwarrior, Metal Gundam, Project Warlock 14) Faceball 2000 Away from consoles, also known as "Midi Maze". Answer rate: 41% Other suggestions: Gremlins, Maze War 15) Metroid Prime: Federation Force Controversial fps for the 3DS. Answer rate: 49% Other suggestions: Halo, Gundum Evolution, Overwatch, Speedball 3 16) Battle Frenzy Released exclusively for the Mega Drive, also known as Bloodshot. Answer rate: 28% Other suggestions: 9x Terminator, 6x Zero Tolerance, 4x Robocop, Alien Syndrome 17) Behind the Iron Gate The first Amiga exclusive game of this round, a cumbersome fps that is almost devoid of textures for performance reasons. Answer rate: 18% Other suggestions: 5x Star Wars, Mech Warrior, Alien Trilogy, Master Spy, Nuclear Blast, Starbucks, Substation, System Shock 2 18.) The Colony The oldest game of this round (80s), here the version for the Apple Macintosh. Answer rate: 20% Other suggestions: Antichamber, Maze War, Sega Rally 19) Forgive me Father A Lovecraft-inspired modern shooter with an interesting graphics style. Answer rate: 25% Other suggestions: 6x XIII, 6x Borderlands, Mad world, Rage 2, Red Steel, The Darkness, Walking Dead, ZPC 20) Breathless The second Amiga exclusive game, graphically and gameplay-wise already much closer to Doom than #17. Answer rate: 18% Other suggestions: Star Wars Dark Forces, Rise of the Triad, Butt shooter, Marathon, Po'ed, Rebel Moon rising, Zero Tolerance 21) Corporation Answer rate: 22% Other suggestions: Catacomb 3-D, Descent, Marathon, Mechwarrior, Transformers 22) Red Faction A port of Red Faction...for the Nokia N-Gage! Answer rate: 28% Other suggestions: Quake, C&C Renegade, Gunman Chronicle, Killzone, Marathon, Opposing Force, Robocop, Shogo: MAD, Soldier of Fortune, Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri 23) Forbes Corporate Warrior A really weird first person shooter and the most difficult game of this round. Answer rate: 13% Other suggestions: 4x Tron, MissionX, System Shock 2, Virtual Nightmare, Virtual Reality 24) Dread A Doom clone for home computers (Amiga & Atari) coming out next year, with phenomenally low hardware requirements (A500 with 7MhZ & 1 MB Ram). [ Show youtube player ] Answer rate: 17% Other suggestions: 11x Doom, 6x Duke Nukem, 6x Wolfenstein, 4x Rise of the Triad, Gloom, Avenging Angel, Dark Forces 25) Chex Quest It's not a waffle, it's a breakfast cereal! The game had its beginning as a promotional CD of a cereal box and was then continued several times. Answer rate: 32% Other suggestions: Bernd the Bread, Duke Nukem 3D, Minecraft, Birdseye potatoe waffles, The Evil Waffle, Egg Waffle Killer, Waffle Wars Here is the quiz picture again, followed by the answers: Answer picture: Direct link: https://i.imgur.com/404usu4.png HIGH SCORE TABLE 01 -
