The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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 then, all I'm looking for are answers to the 30 quiz questions below. Hopefully this'll last a few days at least.
And yes, Shepps123 has to get the credit for introducing his General Knowledge Quiz, which this comes off the back off ;)
The difference between this and the general knowledge quiz though is this is 30 questions, a complete quiz. I suppose, if there's enough interest then whoever wins (highest score or first to 100%) can post another, and it could continue ad infinitum.
Anywhom, here they are.. and, naturally, I'd appeciate it if you didn't just use Google or a similar search engine, sort of takes the point away..
