The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
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.
2) 2 other main songs - Passing Breeze, and Splash Wave
3) You're giving a point for this anyway. Not that I'd have known it.
4) The main one was a caterpilar monster in The Attic caused a bug which corrupted other rooms, including We Must Perform a Quirkafleeg, the East Kitchen, The Bridge and The Tool Shed, and made it impossible to make the return journey.
5) Evil wizard Zaks
6) Albert? There's an Albert in the game somwhere I think....
7) Spacewar
8) Spacewar originally ran on a PDP-1 computer the size of a large car
9) Platformer, often compared to mario. Especially by Nintendo. In a courtroom.
10) erm... does Lizzy also like women in red dresses? Is this a reference to Rampage, where George, Ralph and Lizzy eat people?
Anyway, the questions would be a bit pointless if everyone could get 10 out of 10. I try and write them so it's extremely hard to get 5. I've given you all one point for the third question, because I really messed it up.
Come on then er-no, where are your answers? :0)
hardest sum in the world: women!
Ok, question 3 is causing a lot of confusion... so I'll give you the answer I found anyway.
The first bonus game on it was when you had to throw darts at ninjas.
2) Step on beat, Splash wave and Passing breeze.
3) I think the first bonus stage was dodging balls!
4) There was a bug when you got to the attic screen that made you die everytime.
5) Don't know, the great yolk?!
6) um..later...
7) Spacewar
8) some kind of massive machine made by DEC.
9) Platform, and they were remembered for the lawsuit that Nintendo made about the game being too similar to Mario.
10) I have not a clue at the moment...
Good luck.
