Also kudos to Gerhard_S and fedprod, together you form the TOP 10. local high score list: 1 - 24 points - Havie 2 - 22 points - Nobby_UK 3 - 17.5 pnts - lialurl 4 - 11 points - Belgarath Congrats to Havie for the local lead. survey results You are mostly from the UK, and one user from France. The average birth year here is 1968. That makes this community the oldest (of 14 forums with at least two submitted birth years), while NintendoLife (1994) is the youngest forum. Overall average across all users is 1982. You don't come across as old at all, but being an Amiga board maybe locks out anyone born after the mid-80s. Thanks to all for joining and see you next time! |

August Quiz - Sound FX #4 Listen to the music! This sound quiz isn't about effects or digitized speech samples, instead we are going after title and background music of mostly well known videogames. Some users had wished for this, and also I am slowly running out of suitable sound effects. Watch out, there is something special: the music clips are just a few seconds each. If you guess them right, you get the full point. But in two weeks (22nd of August) the clips will be extended to up to 10 seconds. This will make it easier, but will only get you 0,66 points. And for the last three days (29th of August) the music plays twice as long again, but the correct answer at that time only gets you a meager 0,33 point. So, it pays to be fast - but also the less audiophile users among you will be able to guess many games in the last days of the month. Have fun! Deadline is Saturday the 31st of August, participate via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/ |

So, there won't be any hints if I understand correctly?
I'm pretty sure that extended samples won't help me so I guess I will make an early entry. |

Just to be clear: Let's suppose that within the two first weeks I make an entry with 10 answers. -> 10 points Then you post the extended clips and I find 2 more answers and update my entry. Will I get 10 points + 2*0.66 = 11.72 ? Or (10 + 2) * 0.66 = 7.92 ? In other words, will updating the original entry make the previous answers worth 0.66 then? Thank you in advance for the answer. |

Some users do it once a week. So yes you can - just fill in what you want to update and leave the other fields blank (except for username and forum).

The SoundFX quiz is always a lot harder than the regular image riddles. The average score right now is at five, so don't be shy. |
