November Quiz - Answers & High Score So ladies and gentlemen, not only is this round over, but the whole quiz year has come to an end!

Samus Aran is a gaming icon, everyone knew her! Answer rate: 100% Other suggestions: - 2) Castlevania: Aria Of Sorrow.

Yeah I guessed it was Metroid Prime for #1... Hard to tell them apart you know
The Cave Story one was pretty gnarly, luckily it was easy to find by just googling "No00 egg" I must admit this was not my favorite quiz, there are just too many bloody metroidvania games and a lot of them kind of blend together. BUT... I did find quite a few awesome looking games. To name a few: - the Last Faith (could have been a sequel to Blasphemous): https://store.steampowered.com/app/1...he_Last_Faith/ - Faeland: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1280080/Faeland/ - Sheepo (I had this one pegged for #15 actually, but the aesthetics didn't match up exactly): https://store.steampowered.com/app/1281790/SHEEPO/ And especially: Inmost, https://store.steampowered.com/app/938560/INMOST/ Last edited by gimbal; 02 December 2021 at 14:19. |

I think Nobby has the overall win for the year and it will be interesting to see where EAB are overall... |

Great result. Strong knowledge here.
Seems to be getting more competitive. If only I could have made it into the top ten just once. Next year! And of course, thank you Mr Horizon for all the effort you put in. Really enjoy it. |

Well done Nobby and Havie. Very close! And well done to everyone here on moving up to 7th overall.
I still haven't got over missing out on Sonic Shuffle in the Sega round to get what would have been my first full house! Oh well, here's to next year. Thanks Mr Horizon on all your hard work putting this together. I always look forward to my monthly fix and enjoy the discoveries along the way. |
