@BabyYoshi12 The title in question certainly has a retro aesthetic, so for me it still counts.

July Quiz - Clues #2

Hey, I almost forgot - the quiz ends next Friday, and I haven't posted any clues this weekend! Well then, let's get to it. So far there are 43 players, and four from this community. The overall average score is still below ten points, and no user has managed to get a full score.

So, here the last clues - you have a handful of days left:

1) Game 7 was released as an exclusive title on the Sega Genesis.
2) Title 11 belongs to a series with three games.
3) Number 18 shows a GBA license game to a cartoon show.
4) On picture 15 you can see a robot that you have to beat up, from a multiplatform game.

Good luck!

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

Here is the quiz again: https://i1.lensdump.com/i/jMXHMo.png

I’ve entered three:

#3- 100% sure.
#7- 5% sure.
#9- 70% sure.

I entered the character’s name as I don’t know what game it’s from. Is that okay?

Heigh Ho Heigh Ho. It’s off to work (from home) I go.

Wow, that went way better than initially hoped for! Although I could kick myself for not checking more on 24, as my first thought was "Double Dragon or Final Fight", but googling that went nowhere...
Biggest surprise to me is that Spider from Micro Machines has only 14%. After all, he's a series mainstay and I'd have thought way more people played those.

By the way, I thought "four of the characters have appearances within one single game" would have been a great clue. I was itching to hint that to BabyYoshi12, but didn't want to be unfair towards others.

I liked the round, 90s games are the best after all.

It wouldn't have been for me! Which characters have been in the same game? I know Boogerman made an appearance in Clayfighter, but that's it.

Well, if it's obvious, then it wouldn't a good clue. But it probably would work in this community, as the game is Super Smash Bros Ultimate, which features Samus, Eggman, King Dedede and Sheriff.

Sheriff too? Oh wow I had no clue, I only recently learned it's a Nintendo game in the first place.

August Quiz - Merchants of Gaming

"Here are my wares, would you like to buy something?" At some time in the 1980s, the "Item Shop" began to spread throughout computer games, having begun with dungeon crawlers like Rogue or Moria, and showing up in other genres as well - wherever one could spend hard earned ingame currency on new equipment inbetween levels.

That shall be our theme for this round - the many faces of merchants, store clerks and salespeople that sold us their stuff over many decades of gaming history. Do you remember them, or did the rest of the game turn out to be more memorable than the item shop?

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

Here is the quiz, have fun!

I submitted my list. Did you go for low skill floor but high ceiling this time? I think the point average will be higher than usual, but I draw a blank on those I don't have yet. For two of them I had somewhat educated guesses, but they don't seem right.
Most likely I'm done for the month already...

I know #10. That’s it. This is the worse theme yet for me.

Heigh Ho Heigh Ho. It’s off to work (from home) I go.

Dogorilla

I don't know very many of these but it's a good idea for a theme. Hopefully I'll be able to work out some more when the clues arrive.

"Remember, Funky's the Monkey!"

@Dogorilla Maybe I’ll be able to not be last locally this time? Probably when the clues come in, that’ll change.

Heigh Ho Heigh Ho. It’s off to work (from home) I go.

Dogorilla

@BabyYoshi12 Well I do know more than one But yeah hopefully you'll be able to get some more after seeing the clues as well.

"Remember, Funky's the Monkey!"

@Dogorilla Haha! I misread your post. I didn’t see the ‘very m’ part and thought you said you didn’t know any of them.

August Quiz - Clues #1

So, how can I help you today? Fresh potions? New Characters? Shiny weapon systems? So far 35 people are part of this shopping tour, and two from here.

I want to give you a few clues, as especially in the second half of this round things get more difficult, and not every title has been found out yet:

1) The games of the fourth row are all from the same genre.
2) The friendly gentleman in picture 13 is trading with sailing ships.
3) The merchant in a suit (game 11) is selling you a car.
4) That fat sheep is selling you items to help you climb better.

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

Here is the quiz again, good luck!
