Well, at least the 18 I put in were all correct, that's something
Now for my gripe: I am appalled that the Witness was not in this quiz! That's like the gold standard for a puzzle in the game, it's got more than 200 of them. Or what about Banjo Kazooie/Tooie ? You collect jiggies which are actual puzzle pieces which you then use to complete puzzles so you unlock levels to play... So yeah, Codebreaker. That one was a doozie. The only permutation of keywords that made a screenshot appear for me was "atari 2600 puzzle game". Singular form. As soon as you pluralize to "games", poof - gone from the search results. I was early on cursing the fact that the screenshot had so little detail to it, just a couple of squares. But that actually made it stand out because I can't actually find an Atari 2600 game with less detail to it than Codebreaker. Just had to find a screenshot with almost nothing in it. Chromagun was a fun one. I didn't know the game at all but the Portal hint made me google "games like Portal" and hey presto, top search result. Murder by Numbers I found by complete accident. I was googling every permutation of "puzzle game flying robot" I could think of and zip, nada zilch. I pretty much figured I would never figure out that game. But then I was trying to find what turned out to be Picross and for some reason I started to search for "numbers puzzle video game" even though there are no numbers in that screenshot. And then I saw the flying robot, right at the top of the search results. Go figure. Did anyone not know Silent Hill but still managed to find out based on that screenshot which does not actually show the game itself? I've played the game a million times so I already recognized it by the font alone, but I felt a little sorry for people who were unfamiliar with the game |

You are very mistaken, I never said I didn't get that one. I played and completed all entries that released on the original DS. The 3DS game I did not enjoy as much, the puzzles started to repeat a lot. Fantastic games but eventually they ran out of puzzle ideas I guess.
One thing I did not enjoy as much was frantically tapping all over the screen to find all three coins |

Not so sure about that one. Certainly not the world, the western world maybe but I would put my money on Solitaire then myself.

Fair enough, I just meant almost everyone who has had Windows has probably played it, it's certainly the most played of all the games in the quiz. I kind of suspected it might have been gotten by 100%. |

September Quiz - Time Travel Good old time travel is a popular stylistic device to make a story a bit more interesting (dinosaurs! AND laser weapons!). In video games, Max Payne taught us about "bullet time", and some modern titles use time as a gameplay element even beyond slow motion. In this round you have 25 representatives in one bunch, do you know them all? Deadline is Thursday the 30th of September, participation via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/ Here comes the quiz, have fun: Direct link: https://i.imgur.com/QkMxeQH.png |

I'm spotting ~10 that I know... Three of which are the same franchise.
It looks to me that the most beloved time travel game is not actually in the list... My wagging finger is locked and loaded |

At least time travel is an easier theme. I'm ticking them off by just describing to google what is in the screenshot basically #11 should be really easy in that respect but of course the ones that look the easiest end up being the hardest to find...
The last row is especially difficult as per usual though... I'm at 19 confirmed and I'm thinking I'm lucky if I get to 20... Last edited by gimbal; 06 September 2021 at 17:01. |
