Still only know one of them... but it’s one from a lesser known game, so I might be in the small minority who gets it.

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

The only one I'm missing for which hints are coming is 20... and the hint for it about row four didn't help me so much. I kinda assumed as much with the other four being grouped together...

@BabyYoshi12 I'm not sure you are right about it being a lesser known game. From what I can gather, it should be the third best selling game of these, and fairly close to the #1 and #2 in sales.

@lifer I wouldn’t say it’s a lesser known game , but not a very well known character. I don’t know, I can’t compare as I don’t know any others. 🤷‍♂️

I submitted my list. Did you go for low skill floor but high ceiling this time?

Usually I just attempt to make the quiz easy in the beginning, and hard in the end. And to avoid too many users with full score, I don't give any more hints on the last row.

I have set up some formulas in the results sheet that automatically give me a graph of the answer rate, it currently looks like this - quite close to what I wanted:

I expected Nr.20 to be the hardest, but it had to stay it in the fourth row so I could keep all games there in the same genre.

Let's see, there is one more clues post coming. Maybe that'll help you recognise another game... there's so many classics here!

Mr_Horizon

BabyYoda71

Oh, boy. Classics. Wish I could say that helps. I wouldn’t get 10 if you gave lots of obvious clues. 😆

That graph though... I was sort of right with 10. Not many people have it right in comparison to others. It’s in the middle, kind of.

Thanks for sharing the graph, that's interesting.
0% right surely is a sign of a high ceiling. It's kinda enticing to try figuring that out now...
It looks like an Amiga or other computer game, but with no one having the answer, it could be something entirely different...

I'm somewhat surprised that even 24 and 25 see 10%+ correct answers. It seems there will be a couple of quizzers with 24 points. I need to up my quiz game even further!

Yeah, with less than half of the people having that right, I'd say you were definitely right about that!

August Quiz - Clues #2

"Dear customers, thank you for your visit today. Please take note that this store will close in one week!" So then... time to take another guess or two, with the final set of clues.
The item shop is about half full with 45 people, and two of them are from this forum.

So far all scores are between 2 and 23 points - here are the last clues:

1)​ Number 1 shows a well-known 3rd person action game by Capcom.
2)​ Game 20 was released twice, once in 2016 and once in 2020 (with a new name).
3)​ On picture 17 we see the ugly Spectrum version of a multiplatform Shmup from the late 80s.
4) Title 9 is a Playstation & PC game with lots of wild robots.

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

Here is the quiz again, good luck!

I still don't know many of these, there's a few that I sort of vaguely recognise but can't think what they are which is annoying

Thank you Nintendo for giving us Donkey Kong Jr Math on Nintendo Music

Bunkerneath

@Mr_Horizon Are you supposed to name the game or the person? As some of them I dont think have actual names.

I AM ERROR

GASP I might recognize #25!!! I’m 0.01% confident though. If it’s who I think it is, everyone would know it.

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

lifer

Still missing 20 and 25.
I figured out 24, but even with the two pointers on 20, I still got no clue yet...
Did anyone figure that one out now after the final set of hints?

lifer

Dogorilla

@lifer Nope, I thought I'd be able to work out #20 with that clue but I still have no idea. #25 is one of the few that I do know though

@Dogorilla Nice! I had a couple of ideas, but none confirmed.
@BabyYoshi12 Hope you got that one right, too. Once you go beyond Mario or Pikachu, there won't be many game characters everyone would recognize, so who knows.
@Bunkerneath Definitely the game title. In months where character names were also fine had that noted explicitly in the OP.

Mr_Horizon

@Bunkerneath What lifer said. I don't think all of these characters even have names.
@lifer It is still by far the hardest game of this round, with a 3% answer rate. Don't beat yourself up if you don't have it, you already got a great score!
@dogorilla I can confirm - you know one of the games lifer doesn't have. It is the 3rd toughest title.
@BabyYoshi12 Now I am curious too, please participate so I can see!

@Dogorilla ... @lifer ... @Mr_Horizon ... I locked in #25. I’m certain it’s incorrect. But there’s only one way to find out. Geez, August is almost over.

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

One more to go...
