June Quiz - Role Playing Games

You enter the dungeon. Your party consists of a mage in long robes, a female barbarian in a chainmail bikini, a dwarf with an axe as big as his belly and a rogue with cape and dagger. After defeating countless monsters in the torch-lit (fluorescent mushrooms are also an option) corridors, you reach the legendary treasure room - only a massive iron gate is between you and incredible riches!

But whats this? The mage deciphers the old runes - solve the riddle, or may the gate remain closed forevermore... A riddle?? 25 video games?! WTF?!?

The mage rolls for intelligence, the thief examines the gate, while the dwarf lights a bonfire. At least you brought lots of food - rations for three weeks!

Can you solve the riddle? There's even a bonus question for an extra point...

Deadline is Sunday the 30th of June, so you got exactly three weeks.

June Quiz - Clues #1

Again and again your party rolls for Intelligence and Wisdom, but so far you still haven't found out all games. Truly not an easy task for the so far 30 participants (none from here).

But searching the room reveals further ancient runes... what's that? Clues?! °_° Well here we go!

1) Slightly more than half of the games are western RPGs.
2) Almost all games are part of a series.
3) Four games in this quiz have (also) been released on the Commodore Amiga.
4) Number 6, 12 and 16 can only be played on Nintendo consoles.
5) In the first versions of title 25 the player character still looked like this: @

You still have two weeks to join!

June Quiz - Clues #2

We have a first breakthrough - this week all games were guessed correctly. But still, we'd need to add all your entrys together to have it all, as still no one has achieved full points (25 + bonus point). With eleven correct answers on average it is a surprisingly difficult round, maybe even the hardest riddle of the year so far.

Will our team of adventurers still make it to the treasure? Almost 40 people are in so far (one from here), don't give up now!

Here are the last clues... you still have one week.

1) Game 1 is several years old, but will be released on Switch just this year.
2) For the third title a third entry of the series was announced a few weeks ago.
3) Picture 20 shows you a fragment of the title screen.
4) Game 23 was made by a German team and was released in the late 90s.
5) Title number 8 is an RPG and part of a series, but all other entries are NOT role playing games.

Deadline is Sunday the 30th of June, please participate via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/

July Quiz - Videogame Jobs

Okay folks, it's time to brush up those CVs, because no matter if it's the British "job centre", the US "Job corps center" or the German "Arbeitsamt" - we are job hunting! Luckily you got into an especially modern institution that adapted their listings according to video games. That totally makes sense, because it's been decades since computer games only featured you as a space fighter pilot or some sword-wielding dragon slayer. Indeed, there's a wide spectrum of jobs on display!
For our quiz this means you not only have to name the 25 games, but also the job you are tasked to do. Do you know them all??

Here's an example (with games that didn't make it into this round):
Untitled
The correct answers (for 6x 0.5 points = full score) in the form would be as follows...

1) We Cheer 2, cheerleader
2) Bridge Constructor, engineer
3) Flight unlimited, pilot

Easy enough?

Deadline is Wednesday the 31st of July, please participate via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/

July Quiz - Clues #1

Don't hesitate, an entire riddle filled with wonderful lavishly well-paid (okay, some might be) jobs is waiting! So far the waiting room at the job centre has 23 people, but so far none from this forum.

Here are a few clues:

1) Number 4 is the oldest game of this round (40 years), and number 21 is the youngest (just shy of one year).
2) The games 2 and 6 are Sega classics.
3) Title 14 is the last of a series with five games.
4) Game 24 is all about sports.
5) Half a point for the game, half a point for the job - cheesing cheap half points was never easier than this round.

Deadline is Wednesday the 31st of July, participate via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/

August Quiz - Sound FX #4

Listen to the music! This sound quiz isn't about effects or digitized speech samples, instead we are going after title and background music of mostly well known videogames. Some users had wished for this, and also I am slowly running out of suitable sound effects.

Watch out, there is something special: the music clips are just a few seconds each. If you guess them right, you get the full point. But in two weeks (22nd of August) the clips will be extended to up to 10 seconds. This will make it easier, but will only get you 0,66 points. And for the last three days (29th of August) the music plays twice as long again, but the correct answer at that time only gets you a meager 0,33 point.

So, it pays to be fast - but also the less audiophile users among you will be able to guess many games in the last days of the month.

Have fun!

Deadline is Saturday the 31st of August, participate via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/

August Quiz - Sound FX #4 - Clues

Can you hear the music? Just like its predecessors, this soundFX quiz is tough with lots of clips that ring frustratingly familiar - just with music instead of the effects & speech samples of the previous rounds. Almost 40 people are in so far, one from this community, and the average score is six.
This is the only set of hints. Instead of more clues, you get longer music clips next Wednesday, but those will also reduce the points you get for a correct answer to 0,66.

Here are the clues:

1) The games 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 were only released on Nintendo platforms.
2) With the numbers 3, 7, 13 and 18 you hear music from Commodore home computers.
3) Lots of variety in the last row, the platforms are (not in that order) Dreamcast, DOS, ps1, VR and Genesis.
4) In the titles 1, 10, 18, 19, 22 and 24 you are moving in vehicles (land water or air).
5) Number 9 is a Sega Saturn game.

I hope these are useful.
