Ah well, I hope I'm one of the random winners cos I have no chance of getting a high score!

Good quiz, but was hella difficult (especially since I didn't google any answers).

Good quiz, but was hella difficult (especially since I didn't google any answers).

Considering 5 people had over 90/100 questions right, it was a good thing I made it that difficult.

The reason I'm only releasing the winners' names tomorrow is to double and triple check everything and to also write out a post concerning the prizes. A system will be made to award the games - this to avoid the second spot running away with the three best games.

I still feel like a winner. I stored lot of new knowledge about gaming history.

It was fun & tough.

Well, I am glad to see I didn't fall for many of those traps. It pays off to do some thorough research. If you looked at Wikipedia, you'd actually see all the jobs listed that that guy had. I'm especially glad I didn't go with DK3 at first, but kept researching, so no trap there for me. And seeing as I haven't played most of the games from the screenshot part, no wonder I didn't recognize them.

hydr0x:
Yeah, I immediately thought of Barbie as well. Didn't seem to make sense though, so I gave up on answering that one.

Guderheinz:
I was able to find a video of that map of Duke Nukem 3D, so I didn't have to play it. I did however play through Beneath A Steel Sky to get that answer. And yeah, I also hope eyeballs is accepted, but I don't see why it shouldn't.

Capo:
Yeah, initially I was going to go with Blanka as well, as I clearly remember getting through most of the game with no problems, using Blanka. But then I looked through the thread, and many people actually mentioned Dhalsim being unfair.

Anyway, this was a fun little quiz, and it proved to be quite challenging for the last half.

I really thought white, red gloves, fantastic was Ryu from Street Fighter. But if 5 ppl had over 90, then I know I didn't win, so meh...

I came to the same conclusion as well. It's a perfectly acceptable answer given the 3 words.

I also had Conker for furry, psychotic, grinning. Sam definatly fits the description also.

I think i got about 65-70 questions right so didn't win anyway but it was definalty fun.

I did the same 'mistake' (among others), but I'm sure that "eyeballs" was accepted too...

I really doubt, that I'm one of the lucky winner. :laugh: Abandoniacs are just far better than an ordinary nostalgic person such as myself could be. Nevertheless, I think that I've got no reason to feel embarrassed. So thanks for the great and challenging contest! :thumbs:

But HONOUR TO WHOM HONOUR IS DUE!

Hehe, I never played Duke Nukem 3d, so I went to youtube and some people had clips of them playing second level :laugh:

I also wrote eyeballs, btw.

I'm proud that I did all anagrams correct - that was some brain excersise. With the first one, I figured out 'The Rise of' part and then went to wikipedia but all the others I got on my own.

I'm less proud with the fact that the only other section that I gave all correct answers was section 3 - I really knew only one answer 3.9 and googled all the others.

And I feel lucky that only two answers I decided to have a guess proved to be correct 1.2 though I knew it wasn't Warcraft II or Tomb Raider, so it made guessing easier and 1.10 where I never played Street Fighter II and no obvious answer would come from googling.

But screenshots killed me. There were even a few familiar, but I couldn't figure out where from...

All in all great competition and heaps of fun.

[Thexder]

I just cannot believe I wrote Sam instead of Max..

Oh, well. Since I am under 90, now I wait to see if I am lucky enough to win something through the random pick. But, who cares -- it was a lot of fun to research a bit about these games. Thanks for the contest, red_avatar!

Cheers, Thex.

P.S.: C'mon, my "Transformers: Battle to Save the Earth" was a much better answer than "Paperboy"! After all, (i) they are plastic in their original form, (ii) girls-to-boys (Transform-ISTS), and (iii) they are trying to Save the Earth! Fair enough, this was EXTREMELY obscure, probably did not even make it to the PC, but... well, I have to complain about something, right?

i dint even have time for the screen shots and other parts i just skip cause i didnt find enough time. On treet fiegther 2 mi little brother beat the game with guile doin only the sonic boom without movin doin only that one move so that was my answer guile but i guess thats not a "basic" move so i was wrong
