October Quiz - Clues #2

Over half of the games have already been recognised by the people who wished for them, I guess the others are still taking their time. :) Fifty people are playing, you have ten days left to join and still no one has full points. And by the way, dear Shmups Forum... did you find the Shmup of this round? :P

Ready for the second & final clues? ^_^

1) Game 7 is a licensed title, there are also movies and comics.
2) Number 3 is an RPG with Mii characters.
3) #3 is also Nintendo exclusive, just like #10, #13 and one game from the last row.
4) Title 15 is a very japanese music game.

Deadline is Monday the 31st of October, enter via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/

Here's the quiz again: https://i.imgur.com/4g0V0oV.png

Against my better judgement I'm back in the mix this round, despite having barely any more of a clue than the last few...just couldn't stay away another month, I suppose. Embarrassment incoming! I regret nothing!

I think I actually recognized that one, with some effort. In exchange for missing a whole bunch of better-known items, I'm sure.

Two working class dudes, one black one white, just baked a tray of ten cookies together.

An oligarch walks in and grabs nine cookies for himself.

Then he says to the white dude "Watch out for that black dude, he wants a piece of your cookie!"

October Quiz - last weekend

Nearly eighty people did already dive into the October quiz, four of them from this forum - I'm happy there's again so many of you. :)
Now time is running out, in less than 48 hours this round will be over! Well, does anyone have full points? The answer is still NO. o_O

That's why I'm being nice to you all... there are again clues.

Here come the really last ones:

1) The #8 is a part from a series that started in 2010 on Wii.
2) The gameplay of #9 is somewhat like Super Smash Bros.
3) Title #16 is a Soulslike.
4) Game #17 was initially just a mod of a famous fps before it became its own game.

Deadline is Monday 31st October, enter via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/, you can also update your existing entries by submitting again.

Here's the quiz one last time - wait no longer! https://i.imgur.com/4g0V0oV.png

October Quiz - Answers & Score

The Make-a-Wish round is over, all requested games were found out - but three players whose wishes were in the quiz didn't take part at all, boooh! All in all, the number of players was again very impressive with 127, I am happy. :) There was no one with full score this round, mainly due to #25. Scroll down to see what kind of game that was?

Just briefly before we start, here are the "Should there be MORE make-a-wish rounds" voting results (10% non-voters factored out):

Oh well, I guess a score of 5 is not that bad considering I filled 6 of the fields.
And it turns out that Unisghted (n° 19) is already on my wishlist :)

Waiting for next round, maybe score >= 10 if the theme suits me well ?

Yes, several users commented to praise Unsighted after I posted the answers!

Also, the Shmups forum had a player record last round - five people is a first. :)

November Quiz - Clues #1

The fists and kicks and sparks are flying - Thirty people are already eagerly dishing out in this end-of-the-year skirmish! In the November round, many of the most famous this genre has to offer are already out in the first row, exclusively world-famous series with considerably more than a handful of games, all of them million sellers.
So let's get into the ring, round 2: After all, the month is already more than half over...

Here come the first clues:

1) Number 4 and number 5 are famous fighting games from Namco's portfolio.
2) In game #7 only animals fight, in #8 and #10 only women fight - all in 2D.
3) #12 is a 90s title where polygonal robots compete (on PC & Playstations).
4) In #15 you see the N64 entry of yet another well-known fighting series.

Deadline is Wednesday the 30th November, enter via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/.

Here's the quiz again - round 2, fight: https://i.imgur.com/UooGCWA.png

Fighting games are absolutely not my cup of tea. Therefore I’m quite surprised how many of those I still seem to recognize.

At least two of the images are quite deviously picked, I think, as they show rather well-known games, but in their least well-known versions, which makes them hard to recognize.

Which ones? Is one of them number 4?
That title was at below 50% answer rate before the first set of clues... I try to make the first row the easiest, so that was not good. ;)

...and, does it? :)

There's one more set of hints this friday, but then you're all on your own!

I was referring to 16 and 24 specifically. In their more popular versions, I’d have recognized them instantly, but with the versions shown they took me a while to figure out. I, too, struggled with 4 - until I found out what detail to look at. :wink:

I’m pretty confident I identified around 4/5 of the games, but I want to wait for the last round of hints to drop before I send in my answers.

I forgot to reply to you! I'd rather you wouldn't give a store link while the round is active, wait until the end of the month before sharing links like that. Maybe Guigui can tell us if he ended up buying it. :)

I did not get Unisghted yet, not much time to game lately, but will definitely when price drops and life gets less crazy.

Also about getting to 10 points this round ? ... not gonna happen :/

November Quiz - Clues #2

Attention, the last days are dawning.... next Wednesday, the final round of 2022 will end! Just about fifty people are playing, including one from here. Join now, don't let your fellow forum user handle this one alone!

So then, once again hints - but after that you'll have to manage without my help:

1) Just ten games in this quiz use 3D graphics for the player characters.
2) In game 14, the characters can only fight with their legs, not their arms.
3) Five games from the 80s, nine from the 90s, five again from the 2000s.... plus three each from the 10s and 20s.
4) In this round you see SIX games that were released for the C64. All but one are in the bottom two rows.

Deadline is Wednesday the 30th of November, enter via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/.

Here's the quiz again - round 3, final: https://i.imgur.com/UooGCWA.png

November Quiz - round ends soon!

Woah, what a spectacle: almost eighty people are competing in this, it's a full on mass brawl! Also three players from here. But watch out: on Wednesday night the fight is over, so all the remaining observers don't have much time left. Come on people, get in the ring?

By the way, about #6... have you ever noticed that the same fighter appears as the protagonist in several fighting games on this platform? First in the original, then with a tan, then with a headband... that's why I'm friendly when it comes to the answers, but I won't just wave through every lowres Karate dude in a white bathrobe either! :)

See for yourself:

One or two I missed that I recognized after the fact, but the rest? Yikes, never even heard of most of them! Congrats to Herr Schatten, curious which one managed to elude you...

Also thanks to Mr. Horizon for introducing this to the forum, have a nice holiday and looking forward to seeing you in January! :)

Number 23 of course. I actually wasn't aware that there were other games on the N-Gage besides that shitty port of Pandemonium. :lol:

Oh, I had one with a handful of titles. I was quite fond of it for a while, the digital cross was great for cursor positioning while texting!

About the games... you'd be surprised, there's quite a selection of low poly 3D games with wonky framerate in 178x208 resolution. ;)

February Quiz - Open World Games

Welcome to the new quiz year! Linear progression, strict level sequence, no exploration? Not today - we begin this season with a younger genre, I hope the retro fans among you won't run screaming. ^_^

I'm sure there's many classics I didn't include, and instead put titles in this round that just barely qualify as open world... but this is just me trying to keep it interesting, not knowing every release out there and also avoiding re-use of games from previous rounds. :)

The deadline is Tuesday the 28th of February, participate via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/

Here is the quiz, good luck:

Ooh! #24 looks cool.
Two working class dudes, one black one white, just baked a tray of ten cookies together.

An oligarch walks in and grabs nine cookies for himself.

Then he says to the white dude "Watch out for that black dude, he wants a piece of your cookie!"
