So here are ten questions about classic games. There may be more rounds of classic games...
1) Which way did you have to turn the radio tuner to get Magical Sound Shower in Outrun? (Extra 2 points for the actual frequency.)
2) Still with Outrun, what were the other Songs called?
3) In Exploding Fist +, (The three way fighting one, in the street.) what did you do in the bonus game?
4) Why couldn’t anyone complete Jet Set Willy? (Extra marks for better details.)
5) Who was Dizzy’s nemesis?
6) What was the name of the History teacher in Skool Daze?
7) The first recorded computer game ever made was called what?
8) Alright smartarse, but what was it played on?
9) What sort of genre was the Giana Sisters? Why are they remembered in gaming history?
10) If George likes women in red dresses, what does Lizzy like? Nothing to do with rabbits.
Good luck.
1) To the LEFT, 69.2.
2) Splash Wave, and Passing Breeze. I've never heard of this other one you lot kept mentioning... But if you've got these two, then that will do.
3) Sod that. Have a point anyway.
4) Already been explained, I believe. There was a bug that trapped you in a room. POKES could get you out of it. Anything close to that gets a mark.
5) Zaks, of course. :0)
6) Mr Creak, I believe.
7) Spacewar!
8) A PDP-1 microcomputer. (Micro indeed.)
9) It was a platformer. The game was IDENTICAL to Super Mario Bros, except for the characters, monsters, and power ups. I suggest everybody tries to play it, just for a laugh.
10) One Eyed Snake was close. The game was Rampage. George used to carry around the red dressed women in it, and Lizzy carried around old men in yellow jumpers.
I'm not going to mark them now... but you can mark yourselves. Anyone caught cheating will have 10,000,000 points deducted.
