The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
I've put this together in a few mins... It's not long, but see how many you can get:
1) What was the first task Miyamoto worked on concerning video games.
2) Name the first 3 3d games (in order) made by sega. As a hint, they were arcade titles, and when I say 3d, I mean proper polygon games. You should be able to name them out of order, because everyone will have heard of them.
3) The head of Nintendo once said to the press, "At first we will not allow 3rd party developers to work on it [N64]". This soon backfired. The question is, "How many games were available for the N64 in Japan 3 months after launch?"
4) How much has Microsoft allocated Xbox advertisments?
5) Why is Trip Hawkins famous?
6) Name 2 of the 3 video games exhibited in the smithsonian museum.
7) Sega has recently broken up into several companies. Give 5 of the new names for the R&D (/AM) departments.
8) Before being named as the PS2, what did Sony demand that magazines refered to their new console as?
9) Here's an open one. Name 3 opposites between Mario and Sonic. As an example, one wears red, the other blue.
10) And finally, name as many new consoles as you can. The earliest you can start with is the DC. I can name 6 off the top of my head. Please, no handhelds!
It may not be too hard, but there it is!
Merry Xmas

Not only were the questions easy... but that's wrong! Well, not totally, but what about the game's name, and what he did on it?

Trip Hawkins was the founder of EA and current CEO of 3DO.
OOOOOOOOOO... so close... but not what I was looking for! Think about the second part of your answer and expand. Why is hw always included in "where games went wrong" supliments?

He predicted that the 32-bit market would be a 'fad' and be shortlived. His crystal ball is widely believed to be very cracked, just like his predictions.
