Mr_Horizon

hello everyone,

I'd like to test your gaming knowledge, and have prepared a series of monthly riddles. I've been doing this for a while in various online communities (german & english, over 10 by now!), and would love to include the Nintendo Life forum if there is interest. No worries, this is just for fun - no ads or business intentions.

The quiz can be about finding all games used in a fake screenshot:

...or about guessing the right games from 25 cutouts:

There's even the occasional sound effect quiz, the last one can be seen/heard here: www.retrogamequiz.com

I'm confident there's lots of gaming geeks here that will score well on any of these.

Feedback is welcome, the quiz for June ist about to start... if no one shouts STOP I'm going to post it here in a few hours!

June Quiz - Sports - Hints #1

Okay, half the month is over, and 25 users tried their luck with the topic "sports". If you haven't yet, time to join the ranks - there's still plenty of room in the top 10.

Here are five hints, good luck:

1) Game number 2 is new, june 2017 - it just came out!

2) There are four Nintendo games in this quiz, Sega is there several times as well.

3) There is only one game in this quiz where the name is just the name of the sport. Just one!

4) The numbers 4,8 and 16 don't show ingame graphics, but instead the cover of the game.

5) Two of the games are titles for the Neo Geo.

I hope this helps - have a nice weekend!

June Quiz - Sports - hints #2

Alright, 40 participants and just three days to the deadline!

There are already a few promising entrys, but Top 10 positions are still easily achievable with around twenty points.

Here are the five last hints, happy quizzing:

1) In game number 21 we have humans competing with Robots (in golf...).

2) There is one FIFA game. Only one!

3) Number 20 plays in the year 2105, with a bizarre mix of handball and ice hockey. Reviews were great, it got several remakes and sequels.

4) Title 22 is a boxing game (new IP by a big publisher). Mediocre ratings though, due to hectic gameplay and high difficulty.

5) The last game in the quiz is played with frisbees.

I hope this helps - no more hints left!

...thanks though - that was a lot of fun! I'll try to keep an eye out for these quizzes in future - it's good to give the ol' grey matter a bit of mental exercise every once and a while!

@NaviAndMii - glad to hear you like it, and your score is certainly not the lowest... already now several people know less than you.

There will be some hints in the coming weeks, maybe then you will recognise more and feel like updating your initial answers.

That's hard lol. I guessed about 5 of them : /

I never drive faster than I can see. Besides, it's all in the reflexes.

July Quiz - hints #1

aaaannd action! Already there are more than 20 people trying to connect some pile of pixels with classic movies. No one has full points yet, and a top 10 positition is available from 12 points upwards.

Here are some hints, fitting for the nature of this quiz... which actors can be seen? And I don't mean in the movie or steering the car, I mean whose pixelated faces are actually there in the screenshot fragments of this quiz...have a look!

IMAGE QUIZ JULY 2017 - NOW STARRING...

Amy Jo Johnson
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Avery Brooks
Bruce Willis
Clint Eastwood
Dan Aykroyd
Danny Glover
David Hasselhof
Eddie Murphy
Harrison Ford
Jean Claude Van Damme
Jim Carrey
Leonard Nimoy
Liam Neeson
Mel Gibson
Michael Jordan
Wesley Snipes

Wow, what an AAA-list! Arnold, Jean Claude and Harrison even appear several times.

Please put the exact name of the game as your answer. If you name the franchise or the character, you might not get the full point.

Deadline is monday the 31st of july, please participate via http://www.nerdquiz.de/

From this forum there are three users so far. Nice!

here is the quiz again... have fun!

July Quiz - hints #2

Aaaannd...Action? End of the next week is the end of the quiz, so time is running out. So far there's 33 people (and three from this community!), I'm sure there's room for more. The top 10 is still accessible, and with 5 points you're already not last place.

Here some last hints to give you some ideas:

1) On the screenshots with vehicles but no persons, those cars are driven by Michael J. Fox, Dan Aykroyd and Mel Gibson.
2) Arnold Schwarzenegger is visible in three games in a row.
3) The entries with the most "half points" are the 5, the 7, and the 11.
4) The SF movie reference for the number 25 released in 1982.
5) The only 3D game in this quiz is licensing three movies at once.

Please put the exact name of the game as your answer. If you name the franchise or the character, you might not get the full point.

August quiz - all new! new! new!

Folks, a bitter truth: Life has to be more than just 16bit titles from the 90s. This time we're going to ignore all the old consoles, DOS titles and Home Computer blocky graphics, because we will focus completely on the present!

2016 und 2017, that's where the action is, this is what I want to know from you this time - do you recognise the games that were just released this (and last) year?
Genres and styles are a wild mix, what all titles have in common is only young age.

Bonus question: One game is a little bit older than the others - which one?

Deadline is Thursday August 31st - you can participate via http://www.nerdquiz.de/

Here is the quiz... have fun!

August quiz - hints #1

Hey, I am behind my usual schedule - here's a quiz update with a few hints. So far there's 15 people participating, and even the best ones are many points away from achieving a 100% score. I am sure you can do better!

Here are a few clues....

1) Image 3 has been zoomed up a lot - it shows the back of the protagonist.

2) Number 8 is a first person shooter with a retro look.

3) Title #12 is a VR game.

4) No one has guessed Nr.23 yet - a realtime strategy game with gameplay similar to "FTL".

5) And the number 25 - oh dear, a scandal game with sex scenes! Only after a "blur-patch" it was allowed to sell again.

Don't forget - all these games were released in 2016 or 2017!

So far no participants from this forum.

Deadline is Thursday 31st of August - please participate via http://www.nerdquiz.de

here is the quiz again - good luck!

August quiz - hints #2

Watch out, deadline is tonight! 40 people have joined so far, let's see if a handful of final clues can motivate some more to participate.

Here are the final five clues...

1) Game nr 13 is a point and click adventure by a developer who is very experienced in this genre.

2) Title 18 is a walking simulator with easy riddles and a clever time mechanic.

3) Image 14 shows a game where many of the characters are blindfolded.

4) Number 19 shows a minigame compilation with mediocre ratings.

5) once more to the 23... hardest game in this quiz. Inspired by an anime, you control an artillery fortress and its soldiers, dueling with other bunkers and weapon installations in a postapokalyptic world. Available on Mac, PC, Android and iOS.

Deadline is tonight - you can participate via [a href="http://www.nerdquiz.de/"]http://www.nerdquiz.de/[/a]

here is the quiz one last time - good luck!
