Monthly Gaming Quiz: can you guess the games based on tiny screenshots?

[+jgkspsx]

I enthusiastically recommend 7, 15, 17, and 20. 9 not so much. I love 23 but that is one mean motherclucker.

 

Anyway, I have a game for you, @Mr_Horizon:

 

[+jgkspsx]

This seemed too broad a subject to try to chase down every one. I guessed 19 and I am confident about 13.

July Quiz - Clues #1

 

Cock-a-doodle-doo, goes the rooster - the month has only ten days left! Isn't it about time to get up and join the forty players so far?

 

On the user poll: So far the Millenials are in the majority, with a few Gen X players and a dash of Gen Z. Of course we only have about a quarter of the crowd in, so I'm curious how it'll look in the end. I won't say anything about the nationalities until the final post.

 

Here are the first clues:

 

1) Number 11 shows us a well-known DOS fps from the late 90s.
2) Three images in this round are screenshots from the Commodore Amiga.
3) Game 8 is a fun platformer with up to four players simultaneously.
4) Picture 14 shows a "swan" that is so dangerous that it is kept in a special prison.

 

Deadline is Monday 31 July, enter via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/

Here is the quiz again, have fun  link

July Quiz - Clues #2

 

The birds are heading south very early this year.... not because of the weather, but because the round is over after this weekend.

 

Over 70 players so far, including two from this forum - so who else is joining in? 
Maybe @Keir @Mikebloke @Trinity32 @jeremiahjt @BydoEmpire @Black_Tiger @Hwlngmad or @newtmonkey?

 

The answer rates are very balanced between 5% and 100%, and at the moment you don't even need twenty points to end up in the TOP 20. 

 

Here are the final clues:

 

1) In both #15 and #17 you have to solve crimes.
2) Games #19 and #20 are both sidescroller shmups.
3) There are lots of chickens in this round, but #10 is predominantly about pigeons.
4) Title 18 is a first-person shooter from this decade.

 

Deadline is next Monday (31st July), enter via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/

Here's the quiz one last time link

[Keir]

Didn't recognize most of these and didn't really have time to do any research so my score will be quite low this month.

July Quiz - Answers & Score

 

Alle Vögel sind schon da,
alle Vögel, alle.
Welch ein Singen, Musiziern,
Pfeifen, Zwitschern, Tiriliern!
Frühling will nun einmarschiern,
kommt mit Sang und Schalle!
(famous german children's song about birds from 1835)

 

A total of 130 players from twenty countries came together to correctly name all these feathered creatures... but only FOUR of them actually succeeded, which was mainly due to the very difficult number 24.

But I had promised graphics for the bonus question, so now first the composition of the nationalities:

Well, what do you know, 50% Germany! How come, maybe more than half of the participating forums are in German?

The Atari Age players are all from the USA, no other forum is like this.

 

The countries (and players) under "Other" are as follows: Canada(4), Italy(3), Switzerland(3), Australia, Belgium, Finland, Greece, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Sweden.

And what about the generation question?

Two-thirds of you are Millenials, so somewhere between 27 and 42 years old... plus a good quarter of Gen X, a handful of Gen Z younglings and one percentage point of Baby Boomers. No matter what your age is, I'm glad you're here!

Now we continue with the results: first the names of the games as text, then the pictures, then the high score.

August Quiz - DOS Classics #5

 

With some delay the new round starts - it's the fifth and last entry of the DOS Classics! For one last quiz you can put on those rose-tinted goggles and think back to the great PC gaming gems of the 80s and especially the 90s. Will these glasses also help you to recognise everything? We'll know at the end of the month.

 

Deadline is Thursday 31st August, enter via retrogamequiz.com.

 

Here's the quiz, let's go:

Is it bad that I don’t recognize any in the first row?

I guarantee that you know 4. It was huge in the mid Nineties, and is one of the games I most wish [Giant Publisher] would bring back.

I figured it out but no I didn’t know it before. Didn’t own my first PC until 97 so maybe that’s why.

August Quiz - Clues #1

 

MS-DOS WHAT NINTENDON'T!? This round unfortunately had a pretty humble start, few players (25) and low answer rates (no game reaches 80%). Oh oh!

 

But now there will be some clues, and as always I'll comment that it's also a chance to reach a top 20 place, at the moment you need... three points.

 

Here are the first clues:

 

1) Completely unintentional, but #2, #8 and #17 are all from Apogee & from the same year.
2) Number 3 is a submarine sim classic but still completely without polygons.
3) There are five classic RPGs in this round, e.g. #11, #16 and #20.
4) Game 6 was written by Roberta Williams.

 

Deadline is Thursday 31 August, enter via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/

[Mr_Horizon]

August Quiz - Clues #2

 

Listen up everyone, the last weekend of the last MS-DOS round is on! Forty players are in so far, many of them with rather low scores... so this time you can easily get into the top 20 and make your forum proud.

 

Let's go, here are the second and final clues:

 

1) Number #1 shows the first part of a well-known racing game series, where you can also win a race by eliminating all opponents or running over all pedestrians.
2) Game #7 is the third part of a famous space series with a lot of gameplay freedom.
3) In #12 you plunge into air battles of the Second World War from the cockpit perspective.
4) Title #13 pits two groups of bugs against each other, the game was also ported to the Playstation in 97.

 

Deadline is Thursday 31st August, enter via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/.

Here's the quiz again, now let's go https://i.imgur.com/oR2Tf5U.png

[Mr_Horizon]

Deadline is today

 

After today it's all over! Everything! No more DOS Classics! Ever! 

 

I can only advise you to take part now, even if this is one of the hardest rounds of the year.  Okay, the Macromedia Flash quiz had even lower answer rates, but in the current round not a single game reaches 80%... ouch! 😕

 

There are almost 90 players by now, but none of them from here.

 

@jgkspsx @Keir @RangerS @Mikebloke @Trinity32 @jeremiahjt @BydoEmpire @Black_Tiger ...how about it?

Ha, both you and @Keir submitted two hours apart this morning... of over a hundred people all Atari Age users entered last.

 

Your scores certainly won't place you last in the high score!

August Quiz - Answers & Score

 

So, that's it (permanently) for the classics from the DOS years... where this category used to always ensure high numbers of participants, the fifth chapter has unfortunately become one of the more sparsely attended rounds of the year with 118 players, same as the much reviled Flash quiz.

 

This time a whole nine people got full points, I'm impressed - but my respect goes especially to the four people who sent in their answers even though they weren't sure about any game and didn't get any points at all.

 

I'm sure the next round will be more accessible.
 
Briefly on the additional question - your remake requests were very numerous, but the following titles were mentioned most often:

6x Ultima
4x Commander Keen
3x Fallout

 

Well, who holds the rights? Maybe write to them? After all, clearly the demand is there.

But now let's start with the answers... first the names of the games as text, then the pictures, then the high score.

 

1) Carmaggedon
A well-known series and a very clear picture - the most frequently guessed title of this round still does not reach an 80% answer rate!
Answer rate: 79%
Other suggestions: Breath of the Wild, Death Rally

 

2) Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold
Apogee, the first... I thought that Wolfenstein 3D couldn't be the only "pre-Doom" first-person shooter that everyone remembers, but I guess I was wrong.
Answer rate: 65%
Other suggestions: 18x Wolfenstein, Doom, Myth

 

3) Silent Service 2
A lot of people recognised it as a submarine game, but then got the details wrong. "Silent Hunter" came later in the 90s, "Silent Scope" is the one with the sniper.
Answer rate: 64%
Other suggestions: 6x Battleships, Silent Scope, Silent Hunter, Sea Wolf, Stealth, Red Storm Rising, Fast Attack, Das Boot, Aces of the Deep

 

4) Magic Carpet 2: The Netherworlds

Answer rate: 76%
Other suggestions: Aladdin, Last Ninja, Prince of Persia

 

5) Transport Tycoon
Answer rate: 74%

Answer rate: 42%
Other suggestions: 4x Microsoft Flight Simulator, Stunt Island, Aces of the Luftwaffe, Pilot Wings

LOCAL HIGH SCORE

 

1 - 13 points - @jgkspsx
2 - 12 points - @Keir

 

Congratulations to jgkspsx for the local lead.

You were really close together this month...

 

Thank you for playing... there are THREE quizzes left before I retire!
 

[+jgkspsx]

Well, I’m not surprised by my score

 

Actually, I am - I totally forgot Lost Vikings 2 existed and figured my answer for 14 couldn’t be right!

[Keir]

Argh, you beat me by 1 point!

 

Games #14 and #20 were the only 2 I immediately recognized and the only 2 games on the list that I've played (albeit on different platforms). I too almost guessed Wolfenstein for #2, but I had a feeling that was wrong and your clues were very helpful.

Betrayal at Krondor has always been a game I meant to try. It

September Quiz - Halloween Horror

 

The supermarket displays leave no doubt - since the first of September everything has been geared towards Halloween. Do you all have enough pumpkins, orange buckets, plastic spiders and cardboard bats yet? 
This September my quiz series follows the trend, similar to the zombie and spider puzzles we had many years ago. Accordingly, all signs point to Scary & Horror: 25 games that want you to be frightened... a few from before 2000, and many more recent ones. Will you dare to keep your eyes open and recognise them all?

 

And what's up with the strange bonus question? o_O

 

Deadline is Saturday, 30th September, enter via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/

 

Here's the quiz... you can do it!

On the plus side, I know 21 as a result of finishing it with all but one of the endings. On the minus side, the only other one I think I know for sure is the one with the huge scissors, and I’m not sure about even that.

[Keir]

Huh. I recognize one of them. Guess I'll be doing some research...
