March Quiz - answers & score

No matter if Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, PC, Commodore Amiga or Game Boy - the fake screenshots have all been solved, because two users managed to actually get every single game right.
One of them has already been good at the quiz in the past, but the real number one just joined the fun recently.

Who is that? You'll see at the end of the post, now let's show all the answers first! This post has as lot of pictures so get ready to scroll:

Thanks to all for participating (hey Nexus!), and see you next time... in May! There are other users posting riddles for April (in the old maniac, Powerplay and Multimediaxis forums), if you suffer from withdrawal feel free to check there.

May quiz - dragons - clues #1

Thank you to the 24 people that already joined, and I am looking forward to more users participating! But now let me give you a first set of clues...

1) Seven of the 25 correct answers have the word "dragon" in it.
2) Game number 10 was developed by a french company.
3) The third game is an exclusive title for the playstation 3.
4) title number 8 is from a well known run'n'gun (...or jump'n'shoot?) series, but the dragon we see here was never seen in a console version.
5) Four games use the first person perspective, but only three of them can be counted as first-person-shooters.

So, did that help? Or still more questions than answers?

@Nobby_UK: yes, not bad! But not a perfect score yet. :P Maybe you'll find the missing ones before the month is over...

Deadline is Thursday 31st of May - please participate via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/

[Mr_Horizon]

May Quiz - Dragons - Clues #2

Hi everyone, this quiz round ends on Thursday night! So far we have 34 participants, two of which are from this community.
Here is the last set of clues, from now on you're on your own...

1) Game 13 is from a fantasy action series, where a new installment was just released with game-of-the-year ambitions.
2) Number 19 is an exclusive title for the Xbox One.
3) stop asking - for the first and second game (and all others too...) it's enough to name the series/franchise, you don't need the exact part.
4) The 15th game is a license title to a post-apocalyptic action movie.
5) toughest one in the entire quiz... the 22 is a fantasy sidescroller for console and arcade.

Deadline is this Thursday, 31st of May - please participate via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/

June Quiz - slightly disturbing

For quite a while I have been collecting ominous blood messages on video game walls, with the intention of one day creating an especially dark quiz round. But after being unable to aquire 25 fitting contributions, I came up with a different approach... this round celebrates its contrast: half of it are bloody warnings from horror games,

and the other half is cute animal creatues, large eyed anime characters and other games with a colorful cutesy look.

Don't be distracted by this slightly disturbing mix and have fun finding the games!

Deadline is Saturday the 30th of June - please particiapte via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/


Here is the quiz... good luck!

Hey, that's odd! It's a regular PNG saved from photoshop... imgur upload like all my other quizzes.
You seem to be doing quite well though, even though you can't download it?

June Quiz - Clues #1

So, who of you is too distracted by E3 or world cup to join the gaming quiz? So far we are 25 people in total, one of which is from this community. :P

I think it's time for some clues, maybe that will inspire more people!


1) The numbers 6, 12, 14 and 20 are games by Nintendo.

2) Game 2 is a 2D platformer that was released this year.

3) Title 9 is a game over screen from a well known survival horror series.

4) The entire quiz is very "new", most entries (14!) are from the current decade, eight are from the 2000s, just two from the 90s and only a single one from the late 80s.

5) Games 1, 5, 15 and 21 have you run around in large space stations where something went terribly wrong. Looking closer, nr 21 is the forgotten grandfather of the genre, and game 15 tries really hard (and fails...) to match the class of the famous games one and five.

Deadline is Saturday the 30th of June - please participate via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/

here is the quiz again... good luck!

June Quiz - Clues #2

I just watched the 2:1 Germany vs Sweden football game, and now I am writing this final quiz update over a cold beer.
So, there's one person from this community already participating, and 37 users in total... Actually, this time we have something that didn't happen in a while - there's one entry that every single person has gotten right. Cheers to that! Do you have a guess which one it is?

These are the final clues:

1) Of all those scary games with the bloody messages, only number 11 has you run around without weapons.

2) Only one title in this quiz was released for a Commodore computer... the 21 is a C64 game.

3) Game 24 is not as cutesy as it appears!

4) The creature on picture 20 lives alone in a little house.

5) Game 18 was first released on the Sega Dreamcast.


So, you got exactly one week left!

Deadline is Saturday the 30th of June - please participate via www.retrogamequiz.com/

Here is the quiz one last time:

June Quiz - Answers & Score

The "bloody messages" are over, and looks like you had fun - 60 people joined, four more than last time. Average score is at 14.5, making this the easiest quiz of the year so far. Was it because of the many classics, the wild mix, few retro titles or just simpler screenshots?

Almost everybody got the Nr.4 right, but in the end there were three users who couldn't recognise the character as someone from the Sonic series.

July Quiz - Commodore

The highest selling home computer model in the world? That's the Commodore 64 from the early 80s, around 20 million were in use worldwide (even made its way into the guiness book of records). Commodore also made several more affordable entry models like the C16, which came with a delightfully retro cassette deck called the "Datasette". From the late 80s to the 90s things continued with the Amiga series, from the succesful Commodore A500 to the A1200 and the early 32bit console CD32... you notice something? This is a real RETRO quiz... and it should be a breeze for everyone in this Forum!

Where the last round had almost exclusively new games, this time most entries take us back far into the 1980s, with one half being C16 & C64 titles, and the other half being games for the Amiga Computers.

Don't worry if you were a PC or console gamer - there are many multiplatform titles in this quiz.

Deadline is Tuesday the 31st of July - please participate via http://www.retrogamequiz.com

Here is the quiz... good luck!

I am fine with Amiga games, but with C64 ones, I remember only half of them. But I submitted my attempt.

July Quiz- Clues #1

1980s and early 90s Games for Commodore home computers are not that well known anymore despite their many excellent titles. Due to their age you have to be well over 30 yourself to have come in touch with them naturally.
So I am quite happy that even with a niche topic like this, we already have 30 participants after the first week (four of which are from this community).


I believe it's time for some clues:

1) here is a graphic that shows when the individual games have been released. The 16 and 64 stand for the C16 and C64, and the red/white ball is the symbol for an Amiga game.


2) Number 13 has the same name as an old German (later international) TV-show, but it's not a license game.

3) Game 18 is a horizontally scrolling shooter, very similar to a legendary japanese shmup game.

4) On picture 14 you can see a computer virus, which you have to hunt in this action game. To do so you are using a small yellow robot with lots of different weapons.

5) Game number 1 has a few wannabe 3D sequences with static backgrounds, but number 16 and number 24 are first person shooters with real 3D graphics.

6) Before I forget... the games 1, 2, 3, 4, 19 and 20 are also PC titles, and the games 1, 2, 6 and 9 were also released for at least one console.
All others were either exclusives for that Commodore computer, or have only been ported to other home computers of that time (Spectrum, Atari) or iphones/ipads.

July Quiz - Clues #2

Ladies and gentlemen, there are now 9 days left to participate in this quiz! We are almost 40 people now, and I hope some more will join despite this being a niche topic. The lowest score right now is zero, so you won't be an embarassment.

There are currently four people from this forum.


I think it's time for the last few clues:

1) There are action figures and a cartoon show to go along with game 21.

2) Number 19 serves as an inspiration for the fallout series.

3) The games 11, 13, 15 and the 23 are titles for the C16.

4) Title 22 took the wrong lessons from "rise of the robots" - also a 2D beat'em'up with render graphics and bad gameplay, but this time not even the graphics are pretty... rightfully getting it scores way below 50%.

5) Game 25 has a killer soundtrack! [ Show youtube player ]
