#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.

I would do anything to have a Mario-themed quiz in November. At the very least, can we have a Christmas themed December quiz?

You're lucky I'm behind schedule on my quiz planning, usually I have two or more already produced in advance. But I can't promise anything yet!

@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?

@lifer yes true, I wasn't using twitter for anything really. But Mr_Horizon on Discord should work!

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.

...#26 would be named under clue 2) as well, if anyone is still interested in searching for it.

I am curious what it is, but still have no idea.

Mr_Horizon

lifer

@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.

The one that 9 out of 10 people know is #1 isn’t it....

Still, the only one I know is #3, which I’d still say is one of the most famous video game franchises ever.

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

lifer

@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

@Mr_Horizon Thank you for another great quiz, looking forward to the next one!

@lifer I’m really curious about #26 now

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:

Untitled

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.

Find some more info on the game here, including a selection of screenshots:
https://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=8242

If I have a good idea for next month's theme, I'll post another #26, because now I got a prize here that needs to go to someone.

...and do I get an extra point for knowing #26

Oh, I had no idea about that game. But I will definitely look into having it as a future quiz candidate!

Well, now it's out of the bag. You need to find another game you had no idea about.

November Quiz - Five Themes

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!

This was the first quiz of this kind (https://i.lensdump.com/i/0qBqIb.png), and the themes were as follows:

Cows (7,10,17,19,24), Jetpacks (9,11,14,20,21), Poop (1,2,4,6,16), Rainbows (3,5,15,18,25) and Robots on wheels (8,12,13,22,23).

This time the rules are the same... but the themes are more difficult than in the example.

Good luck!

Deadline is Monday the 30th November, participate via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/

Here is the quiz, have fun:
