"Ultimate Foggers Quiz - Round 3 - Classic Games."

Obviously, if you want to be a true futureofgaminger, then you'll have to know about the past of gaming. POG.

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.

Theres quite a few people claiming to have invented the first game... some guy reckoned he was told to build a TV back in the late forties... and ecided to stick a game in... some other guy reckons he wrote a Tennis game in the late fifties (although nothing as sophisticated as pong)

Although the only one I've really read on is the 'Tech model Railways club' game... SpaceWar!... it was a written back in the sixties... on a DEC PDP (1 or 6 I cant remember)... Its had quite a few remakes (and was the insiration of asteroids so I'm told?)...That must have been around the mid 60's?

With JSW ... ??? ... mmmm ... oh yes... bloody hell, I'd forgotten all about that...

There was this competition to be the first person to complete JSW... and a couple of guys did complete the game... but they realised they could only do it if thay cheated by adding a few (3-4) pokes... to get rid of a few killer objects, blocking objects, etc... and the infamous 'Attic Bug'

at least I think thats the answer?!? its been a long time since I thought about it... ???

Because it was the same level over and over again. Great game mind you. Along with Granny's Garden.

The first games recorded:

Contrary t popular belief, the game was a tank war games displayed in ASCII characters... I think the game was battle tanx, or something...

Please someone tell me the answer to No 4 it sounds intersting.

What's the first sub game of the sequel to that?

Thats gotta be confusing :) ...

International Karate + was the game where you fought with up to 3 players on screen at one time...

Way of the Exploding Fist 2 was more of an adventure... you scrolled (actually, I dont think theres was all that much scrolling... more screen flipping) on a quest to rescue some bird or other? ... I dunno ... long time ago
