A short stewing for all would be gaming gurus out there, first person to correctly answer all of the questions may proclaim themselves the monarch of mystery, or conquerer of the quiz. Now your starter for ten...
"I plead the first" - A collection of gaming firsts, can you correctly identify the numero uno...
1) What game was the first to feature a now famous mustachioed, Italian plumber?
2) Which PC, C64, and Spectrum title was the first ever game to use 3D graphics?
3) Name the first ever 3D platform game to appear on a gaming console.
4) Which game, and what system, was the first ever title based upon Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels?
5) Which game, and what system, would you find the first instance of a character named "Miles Prower"?
"Whodunnit?" - A collection of mysterious faces, can you shed light on the correct culprit?
6) Who was the original creator of the T-Virus and what sinister corporate front did they create which continues to crop up in titles to this day? A bonus point if contestants can correctly cite the middle initial of this persons full name.
7) Loathed by their sister, frozen, suffered from forced amnesia, took part in a certain famous tournament, and worked as a professional killer... who would we associate with this description?
8) Inventor of parachute knickers, occasionally named after a form of fungi.
9) A man hidden behind a robotic ninja costume, out for revenge... and release, with the help of an old friend. Can you provide the correct name?
10) Another gaming first, this canine character knows how to strut his stuff, his favourite note is "b flat".
"The hills are alive with the sound of..." - Name that place.
11) Name the mythical land in which we first met the characters Link, and Zelda.
12) The humanly challenged domain in which the brothers mario made their first concurrent appearance.
13) A place where we might discover a pink, bulbous character, who can hold his breath for a very long time.
14) The city in which one would expect to encounter the living dead, and cheesy voice acting.
15) The homeworld of two alien joyriders, one large and orange, the other wobbly and red.
Answers on the back of a postcard please. As ever, your first answer is the only one which can be accepted; so think carefully before making your choice.

You weren't supposed to answer the categories, just the questions. :oP
For reference - if it doesn't have a number by it, it isn't a question, just to save any future confusion... lol.
You got 5 correct answers out of the 15 questions.
Some of them you left blank, not going to say which answers were correct because then it'd just be a case of trial and error for everyone else. ;)
