July Quiz - Clues #1

No question, after the slightly easier Sega Quiz you've got some work to do this time.... It's a tough selection of titles and just 13 players (with modest scores) have turned up after the first week. Now there is some help from me, I hope this can serve as motivation.

Hints #1:

1) In the games 1 to 4 there is a lot of shooting, but in indie game #5 there is "dancing".
2) Titles 7 & 13 are horizontal autoscrolling shoot'em'ups with arcade versions from the 90s.
3) Title #12 is an 80s home computer game with Gauntlet-like gameplay.
4) Game 6 is a turn-based strategy title with permadeath for computer and Switch.

Deadline is Saturday 31 July, enter via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/

Here's the quiz again: https://i.imgur.com/XTKFRzg.png

Ah yes, now I know which of the hundred pixelart games #5 is

Biscuit · 17 July 2021, 14:30

I think I'm currently sat on 11 correct. A few really bothering me because I've seen them somewhere. Time to hit those hints.

July Quiz - Clues #2

Ouch, the month has less than ten days left and just 24 people (one from here) are in the game. Looks like I finally actually overdid it with the difficulty!
But see it this way, was it ever easier to land on the upper spots in the high score? Especially as just a single user managed to barely achieve the twenty points threshold.

Here is the second set of clues, I wish for lots of inspiration as well as motivation!

1) Game #2 is a well known Indie Metroidvania from the past decade.
2) That figure on picture 11 is not some horizontally scrolling Knight, but rather a very vertical King!
3) The Titles 10 and 16 are both platformers with a soccer/football theme, which they also carry in their names.
4) The games 3, 10, 12, 15, 17 and 18 (plus two from the last row) were released on the Commodore Amiga, number 15 even as an exclusive.

Deadline is Saturday the 31st of July, participate via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/

Clues no help to me, but are sure to help some

Submitted my 19 ?

Havie · 27 July 2021, 19:48

Up to 18...need a few more!

gimbal · 28 July 2021, 13:19

Damn, even the local legends haven't gotten to the 20 yet. I don't feel bad for getting absolutely nowhere with this one

Havie · 29 July 2021, 17:56

One more - need to get 20, need to get 20...

Biscuit · 29 July 2021, 19:47

Ha, I totally get that feeling. I always set my sights on 15 though.

Luckily I have a few pixel art books and this is the perfect excuse to spend some time tonight flicking through them.

July Quiz - Clues #3

Sixty people in the game, three from here, and zero with a full score? Well, then I'm helping one last time - so that all the fair-weather people can get back to their screens and maybe one particularly creative nerd will guess everything correctly after all.

Here is the third and last portion of clues, because this round ends this Saturday:

1) The Penguin Game #9 first appeared as an arcade title in 1982.
2) The #17 has you shoot up some crazy TV show and also first came out as an arcade game.
3) Look at #19! That's rare indeed, a Sega Saturn exclusive.
4) Game #8 is a story-heavy platformer from 2019, you control a robot.

Deadline is this Saturday the 31st of July, enter via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/

Here's the puzzle one last time: https://i.imgur.com/XTKFRzg.png

Nobby_UK · 30 July 2021, 06:58

Well, you gave me one (17)

and made me doubt another (19)

Can't believe you hadn't got 17!

A couple of helpful clues so might hit 20 yet?

Havie · 30 July 2021, 19:05

One all might effort and have (hopefully) got to 21! Can't believe there are two Amiga ones I can't get but both look really familiar...

Picked Time travel for a future quiz - hopefully Doctor Who related games please!

Havie · 31 July 2021, 23:23

Finally got 12. I knew I recognised it!!!!

gimbal · 01 August 2021, 17:47

oh whoops, I forgot about the deadline. Oh well.

Havie · 01 August 2021, 22:54

Sorry to hear that - I did the same last year and was seriously gutted!

Can someone tell me what no. 23 is as it's (as Danny Dyer would say) doing my nut in!

Me too! It's so familiar yet cannot place it at all. I'm guessing that must be the one Amiga game I didn't get.
