48 out of 58. Not too bad. Apart from the 5 pictures which were driving me bonkers, I was pretty confident. It played into my hands a little as I never really had a preference console wise, even when I had a Megadrive back in the day.

I do feel sorry for Hippyman. Feels like I robbed him. :)

my sincerest appologies - it would appear that your e-mail found your way into my Spam folder, which gets emptied automatically - after checking it was dumped into the deleted folder and i have salvaged it and marked your quiz.

I can only appologise to Hippyman, it would appear GP has scored 48, making him the overall winner. The e-mail was submitted in time and so al is fair.

Sorry for all the confussion and hope i have not caused any problems!

I have not got an e-mail from you, if you send them to me now then i will mark them as it is only fair if you submitted them in time. Try it again and i will mark and update - The winner may be changed!!

Sorry again i just did not see any e-mail from you and so did not mark. But like i said, re-send and it will be marked

If you do beat me GP, I don't mind, honestly - the prize will be yours. But you'll have to beat me first ;)

I did email them last night, which I was told was acceptable. If the results are final then there isn't much I can do but I would like to know how I did.
