1. The world is doomed! Do you:
(a) Call a ripped, mono-syllabic action hero, possibly with his own skateboard.
(b) Call a suave, womanising super-spy.
(c) Ask a tiny, tiny boy if he can help.
(d) Praise the Lord for his fine judgment.
2. You reach the end of a level, only to be confronted by a sixty-foot tall dragon, breathing nuclear fire from its nostrils. Do you:
(a) Unleash enough atom bombs to vaporise the moon, slay the dragon, but miraculously survive yourself.
(b) Jiggle your breasts provocatively and then kick the lecherous reptile where it hurts.
(c) Find an almost imperceptible ch!nk in its armour, and hit that spot repeatedly until the dragon dies of boredom.
(d) Ask the dragon to make it quick. Or slow. But definitely, definitely make it final.
3. You are wending your merry way across a lovely green field. Do you:
(a) Spray the surrounding vegetation with lead.
(b) Pass and move! Pass and move!
(c) Keep getting interrupted by monsters that, though easily dispatched with a single blow, attack relentlessly in lemming like waves. Every now and then you 'level up'; your new stats still allow you to dispatch the monsters with a single blow, but you now do so with infinitely more style and grace.
(d) Hope and pray that a chasm opens and the earth swallows you up.
4. A puzzle has stymied your progress. Do you:
(a) Shoot a rocket against the nearest wall. Shoot another rocket against the nearest wall. Shoot yet another rocket against the nearest wall. Notice a nearby switch. Shoot a rocket against the nearby switch. Discover your opposable thumbs.
(b) Attempt to insert the babel fish into your ear for the fifteen billionth time. Fail. Give up and go mix yourself a Pangalactic Gargle Blaster.
(c) Light a succession of torches, pull a bunch of pillars back and forth, randomly shoot arrows and cast spells.
(d) Bang your head against a literal rather than a metaphorical brick wall.
If you answered mostly (a)s then you are an American. You are dull-witted, unimaginative but immensely well armed - I wouldn't hear a word said against you. Your gaming heroes are Duke Nukem, Tony Hawks and John McClean.
If you answered mostly (b)s then you are British. You are rubbish at games and blame it all on asylum seekers. Your gaming heroes are Lara Croft, James Bond, Arthur Dent and Ruud Gullet from Sensible Soccer.
If you answered mostly (c)s then you are Japanese. You are daring, innovative and in love with random non-threatening creature encounters. Your gaming heroes are Link, Ico and a succession of twerps from the Final Fantasy series.
If you answered mostly (d)s then you are Swiss. I cannot help you with this. It may be of some consolation to you that most people die in their seventies; and that I will never set foot in your country again.
