The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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..

As he achieved the equal highest score of 16, but managed to do it in one go, before gr13ve. Technical victory over gr13ve, which was unlucky for gr13ve, but someone had to win.

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..

As he achieved the equal highest score of 16, but managed to do it in one go, before gr13ve. Technical victory over gr13ve, which was unlucky for gr13ve, but someone had to win.
