@ReaderRagfish Sound FX riddles are always hard! But I promise you something - the quiz after this one will be easy. I have been way too mean for the past three months.
"Hey! Listen!", "Now let's take a look...", "50.000 people used to live here..." and then just a row full of laughter?! - that's the October sound quiz for you. How are you getting on so far?
The average score is just shy of six points (oh dear!) and so far we are 25 people (one from here). The number one spot is currently tied between the Multimediaxis and English Amiga Board - but both still have less than half of the points.
Think we can do more? I hope so! So far there's only three titles nobody found out (22,23,24), but numbers for the others are still really low. Here are some clues:
1) The Sounds 6, 13, 19, 21 and 22 are from the intros of their games.
2) The games 2, 4, 6, 7, 16, 17 and 25 are played from the first person perspective.
Yesterday I sent a link to this sound quiz to a friend right next to me, who then proceeded to click through all 25 fields on a full bus. eyeroll Be responsible, do the quiz when you're alone or use headphones!
Average score went up slightly, now at 6 points for 37 people in total (two from here). The MMX Forum had to hand over leadership to the english Amiga board this week - so far there are only five candidates who broke the 10-points-barrier, and none of them by a lot.
Keep on trying - Only game 22 has not been guessed at all. Here are some clues again:
1) In all three Sound FX riddles there has not been a game used twice. You can check previous quizzes with the "previous" buttons.
2) However, the titles 1, 11 and 17 are from game series where a different (older!) part had already been used in a previous sound quiz.
3) Game 4 puts you in a procedurally generated 3D world.
4) Title number 7 has you fight a lot of zombies.
5) Games 10, 16, 19 and 20 have been developed for or by Sega, and have all been released on the Dreamcast.
So, the last weekend is almost over - this round ends on Wednesday night. Did you join yet?? At the moment there are 46 participants, and three from this forum.
Here are the last clues:
1) Game number 9 is not Outrun.
2) Game number 24 is not Tomb Raider.
3) Game number 24 is not Aladdin.
4) Sound 15 is a laughing clown in a point'n'click Adventure.
5) Number 22 remains unsolved - time for drastic measures! The game was released in the 80s and in the 90s, and I have been using the speech sample from the older version... but today I updated it to the modern version, which is much easier to understand.
You might need to refresh your browser though.
What a round this is - just 0,03 points between the first and second place! Personally I was surprised to see that Turrican and X-Out were the hardest titles (just three people got each of them right), even though the sounds were from the intros.
And Call of Duty is better known than Mario 64?? Blasphemy! Anyway, I hope you had fun and are looking forward to the Answers.

I have a system of "weighted points" to determine who gets the higher position if two people have the same score. After the deadline, if you guess a game right that 10 people got correct, it is worth more than the game that 40 people got correct.
To give an example, getting Donkey Kong right doesn't get you 1 point, but instead "1.04211" points. Call of Duty however has a higher "solved by" percentage (77% instead of 58%), so getting that right only gets you "1.02281" points. The formula is =1+(0.1*(1-solved_percentage)). I hope that helps.
May I introduce, the dog on the picture above is Pepper. He's my dog, a six year old Yorkshire Terrier / Shih Tzu Mix. He is a totally good boy, and would be thrilled to know this riddle is dedicated to him.
AHEM, so this time it's about dogs! Across all years and systems you now have to recognise games from the pictured dogs. Sometimes it's easy as the main protagonist is a dog, sometimes it's hard as we are only talking about a background or side character.
Wow (Woof?) that's a lot of people, more than thirty in the first three days - great! After two weeks it's now 50 participants (two from here), I'm happy you all like this round.
Many of you recognise the first few titles, but towards the end it still gets difficult - which is why nobody has achieved to get full score yet.
Geezus... Was delighted to stumble into this thread and could then only look on in horror as the misery started to seep out of my screen and bite at my ageing brain!
That was pretty tough indeed - got an answer for all but 2, although some of them I’m not certain of the versions (or if the versions even matter!).
Of the 2 I’m missing, I know i’ve played one of them (and the clues STILL don’t help!) and the character for the other looks stupidly familiar. I may go insane before answers are revealed...
@ReaderRagfish: You will usually get away with that, don't worry. In rare cases (which I would announce separately, see clues #1 this month) it will get you only half a point. I'm nice today so you get a personal clue: this month you have one case of "half point" in your answers. I won't tell you which one though.
@BrainOfGrimlock: I am glad you like the quiz. Versions mostly don't matter (see my reply to ReaderRagfish above). You got a good score already, maybe the best of this forum!
And please don't go insane, you only have to last until Friday night.
@Scrummer: happy to hear that - keep it up, not missing any quizzes helps your community in the year-end-ranking!
I'd kind of forgotten about these quizzes, but I'm keen to give them another go. Unfortunately, the retrogamequiz.com address appears to be a dead end. Is that just because I've left it a bit late for this month, or have I done something else wrong?
Who let the dogs out? Well it was a good idea, 88 people joined this round. That's this years record! The difficulty was lower than in the previous quizzes, average score is 16 points. There are even three first places where users got every single title correctly. The bottleneck was number 16, a certain Wii surgery game in a hospital setting. Scroll down and see for yourself!
