#4 I suspect thought that probably even some high scorers might have missed out on before, right? Only 45 people in for the month! Maybe the excitement that was the zoom-quiz is still taking its toll?
Yes, I totally misjudged how easy it would be to recognise number 4. The clue is helping, but the answer rate is still too low for a "first row" game.
It's 53 people by now - still a slow round, maybe not the most exciting theme.
@Mr_Horizon I saw that you had a Quiz Twitter account but which was deleted. Is there a good way to contact you directly, besides registering on another forum that has DM? Discord, maybe?
All the stars of this round have assembled, and it turns out one is really famous, 9 out of 10 users know right away who it is... and another one unfortunately has it the other way around. This fits perfectly, as those two celebrities come from the first and last entry in this quiz.
So far there are 62 users attending (four from here), maybe some more of you want to join? The quiz ends in one week!
Here are the last clues:
1) Number 5 is a famous youtuber (active for over 15 years) with millions of subscribers. 2) The celebrities shown in the games 2,9,11,14,22 and 23 are musicians. 3) Game 10 is a modern 3rd person shooter, there's also a sequel. 4) With title 15 we have a first person shooter for ps2, xbox, GBA and the DS.
@Mr_Horizon Clue time!
It would probably be row 4, maybe row 5 material, due to it being single platform, one that you rarely found in people's homes even at its heyday, and also for its age.
And: the game is surprisingly easy to google, albeit will not be obvious even if it pops up in the finds.
@BabyYoshi12 Besides #3, do you have any guesses on the names of the people starring booked in? You still get 0.5 points for those!
There are seriously big stars in there, some certainly being the most famous overall in their area of work, if not even overall, globally.
@lifer Is the name of the celebrity in the title of the game?
Your clue about the game being on a platform not many people owned made me go through lists of every game released on CD-i, 3DO, Atari Jaguar and Amiga CD32 looking for games with celebrity names in the title, but I don’t think i found your game.

@JoakimZ You are asking a lot of detail...
It's none of those systems. I'm not 100% sure, but my guess is that less people will have had the platform of this game in their home than any of those.
I say again, this one is really easy to google. I'm sure you have seen the game's title many times if you searched generally for the games on the Quiz this month. I didn't realize this at first, but when looking for my missing #23, I browsed by #26 many times, sometimes even showing the screen the thumbnail is part of!
@lifer Well I only asked for one detail; if the name of the celebrity was in the title of the game. But now I know it’s on none of those systems, at least
the last autogram, the last flashlight, the last limousine, the last spotlight... this party is over, and our prominent guests have left again. My question to the nearly 100 guests - did you recognise them all? ^_^

A winners celebration: Congratulations to TheLastToKnow, The_BACH, J.R. and Antiriad2097... you all have FULL POINTS and won this round!
Also kudos to EarthPainting, lifer, residentgrigo, Nobby_UK, Parsnip and Neural, together you are the TOP 10.
Thanks for another fun month!
I've never heard of that NSYNC game. It definitely has GBC style graphics, but that's certainly not my strongest platform (which would be Atari VCS).
Here's the solution to #26:
It's Journey, the arcade machine starring the American hit band of the same name. It's from 1983, but uses digitized pictures of band members resulting in an absolutely bizarre graphics style.
In case you don't know the band, you may at least know the tunes of "Don't Stop Believin'", which has been featured in many, many TV shows.
Huh, what's this? One topic alone is not good enough anymore?! Years ago there was a "Multi Theme" riddle, and this is the sequel.
The catch is that each of the 25 screenshots belongs to a theme. There are 5 themes with 5 pictures each.
For the name of a theme you get half a point. And if you gather all five images of a theme without a mistake, you get another half point. So a maximum of 5 bonus points in addition to the usual 25!
