Shmups Avatar Trivia Game

SAM · Post by **SAM** » Thu Jan 19, 2006 2:55 pm

Rules:
Found a shmups forum member (Important rule: Not Yourself) with a shmups related avatar not yet mensioned in this thread.

And try to tell...

(1) Where (i.e. which shmups) it is from.
(2) What is it (or who is him/her).

Socreing
The first member correctly state this would score +1 point.

While who state wrongly would got a penity of -2 points, while the member whom first correct him/her would get +2 points.

Notes:
(1) Give wrong information could still award +1 as long as no one notice.

(2) For simple points calculation, the -2 points Penity would apply after the +1 point of wrong posting. So the wrong poster would got a net decrease of -1 (+1 -2 = -1).

I would make a score table here and see who score most within 30 days.

Today's Changes:

zinger +6
Herr Schatten +5
ReKleSS +3
Seven Force +2
freddiebamboo +1
captain ahar +0

To captain ahar:
Sorry, your own avatar won't count.

This rule is intened to prevent this thread from turning into another introduce your avatar thread. The fun is to found out where someone else avatar is from.

To Herr Schatten:
Great job but Super Laydock & Marc's avatars do not count, since Penguin Adventure & Outrun are not shmups.

I guessed so, but I thought it was fun to mention them anyway. I'd love to see more people recognize some of the more obscure avatars, even if they don't count for the trivia game.

Herr Schatten
Twinkle Star from Twinkle Star Sprites

Specineff · Post by **Specineff** » Fri Jan 20, 2006 9:54 am

No_Not_Like_Quake: Aleste Jet from Power Strike/Aleste.

Icarus: Big Boo from Yoshi's Island. (It doesn't look like it's the one from SMW.)

Undamned: Some weird enemy from a rare, cancelled version of Parodius for the TRS-80.

(Please don't count that, Sam)

EDIT: Didn't see it had to be shmup-related only. So I guess I only get one point, right?

EDIT2:

Fighter 17: Name of some obscure company who no one cares about because of their crappy shmups.

That's Twinkle Star? I thought it was Starfy from the GBA Starfy games. I guess they look pretty similar.

Notes:

Seven Force wrote:BTW, shouldn't I get +2 for correcting Herr Shatten? ^^"

Well, since Herr Shatten haven't specifical said the character's name is "Alien Soldier" and "Alien Soldier" happened to be the name of the game where Warp Zone's avatar came from, so he haven't said anything wrong to be corrected.

And since Seven Force provided the character's name Herr Shatten failed to provide, I see this case as Herr Shatten and Seven Force jointly discover Warp Zone's avatar and award each of them 1/2 a point.

BrianC is awarded 2 point for correcting Seven Force (-1). What is kind of game Starfy is, btw?

Lucky for me that I couldn't post on the 1st day, I thought too Herr Schatten's avatar is the Twinkle Star from Twinkle Star Sprites...

Wow circuitface, your avatar worth a lots of point.

Since every one who guess wrong would get -1 and the one who got it right would got 1 + (# of people who guess wrong).

Please tell us if any of them got it right, and say nothing if none get it correct yet. I hold the score for circuitface's avatar for the moment.

You are right, so I added a non-shmups vedio games table.
