May Quiz - Clues #1

Now I've officially done it, the world is coming to an end. Apart from a few "yeah, just like back in school!" voices, the reaction to this round is quite bad, even more intense than I expected.

Well, even though this is the worst quiz round ever created... 35 people are playing so far, I hope the following clues persuade a few more.

Here are the first clues:

1) The following games have left the Flash platform behind through ports or sequels: the whole first row, 9, 11, 13, 15, 16, 18, 20 ...pretty much half!
2) The #3 and #12 are games to well-known Flash animated series, in which a single character (faceless grey guy or kung-fu stick figure) creatively fights hordes of enemies.
3) A popular Nintendo fighting game was very freely recreated on Flash with #6.
4) In game #9 you control a ninja and have to pass countless difficult platforming rooms.

Deadline is Wednesday 31st May, participation via www.retrogamequiz.com/

Here is the quiz again, good luck

May Quiz - Clues #2

Soon it will all be over, Flash will be switched off for good and this round will end! Next Wednesday is the deadline, so you only have a few days left. Over fifty players have already submitted - what about you?

Here are the last hints:

1) Number 7 is a helicopter game that is played with just a single button.
2) In #11 you have to crush the castle pictured with the skilled use of a catapult.
3) Game 16 is a standard single player RPG where you go on an adventure quest, slay many monsters and level up.
4) The unusual thing about the picture shown at #8 is that this is the only level the game has.

Deadline is Wednesday the 31st of May, please join via www.retrogamequiz.com/.

Took a swing alongside a nice big coffee in Costa this morning. There were 2 or 3 I couldn't find names for. Pretty happy with the bulk of the rest.

FYI number 8 is an amazing game that only lasts a few minutes but has a great game design. And if you're one of the few to never have played number 4,give it a try, you'll never see a game quite like it again.

June Quiz - Arcade Games

The world's first arcade game was "Computer Space" in 1971, many titles were to follow in the same decade. Even though the "golden age" of the early 80s is long gone, arcades with old & new games can still be found in many big cities today. When was the last time you were there?

We're a little late starting the June round. :/ And after all the weird stuff in the Flash puzzle, we're now going back to the last millennium, and even further into the past than usual: the new quiz has a strong 80s focus, but starts already in the 70s!

There is also a bonus question: Where does the Arcade Hall from the Intro Gif come from?

Deadline is Friday the 30th of June, enter via www.retrogamequiz.com/

Here is the quiz, have fun

June Quiz - Clues #1

Always the same command... Insert Coin flashes promisingly on all the old machines. Unfortunately, I don't have more to offer for this quiz than a "Participate via retrogamequiz.com", but at least it's free to play.

The first 25 players are already in!

Here are the first clues:

1) Game 14 is the first arcade game that could offer real-time 3D graphics with filled polygons.
2) Title 12 was regularly criticised for its exaggerated depiction of violence.
3) Number 7 is the third part of a very well-known racing game series.
4) A whole 17 (!) games in this round are from the golden 80s, three from the 90s, two each from the 70s and 2000s... and only one from the last decade.

Deadline is Friday 30 June, enter via www.retrogamequiz.com/
Here's the quiz again, have fun

June Quiz - Clues #2

Insert coin to continue... 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 ...alright, that was close! But you now have less than a week to get in the game and take the top spots from the already active 50 players. Next Friday the fun will be over and this Arcade will shut down.

Here are the second and final clues:

1) In number 10 you have to collect all the dots on the screen, like Pac Man.... only this title came out a whole year earlier!
2) Game 11 is one of the first arcade games with digitised language, where you fight killer robots. Ported to Atari & Vectrex.
3) Picture 13 shows the multiplayer mode of a top down shooter where you get to control a sci-fi soldier to shoot all kinds of fantasy enemies.
4) Title 18 lets you sink submarines, but in colour...not black and white. Did you guys notice that? ^_^

Deadline is Friday the 30th of June, enter via www.retrogamequiz.com/

June Quiz - Answers & Score

Insert Coin - 1P or 2P - Press Fire to Play! Ah yes, the good old days... but now the round is over, the arcade has closed and there is only one important high score left, which is the one at the end of this post

After the (very niche) Flash Game quiz in May, more people participated again this time (125!), but the focus on the 80s was probably too far in the past for many. Next round will be more accessible, I promise.

Now, let's check out the answers: first the names of the games as text, then the pictures, then the high score.

1) Tempest
A classic from Atari with a very unique look.
Answer rate: 79%
Other suggestions: Asteroids, Star Wars, Battlezone, Doom, Glaxion, Styx

2) Centipede
I never liked this game... everything is so tiny and fast. :/
Answer rate: 86%
Other suggestions: Gauntlet, Snake, Space Invaders

3) 1942
This shmup classic was the easiest title of this round for you. All numbers between 1941 and 1945 gave the point.

Answer rate: 91%
Other suggestions: RAID over Moscow

4) Galaga
I also let the predecessor "Galaxian" pass.
Answer rate: 84%
Other suggestions: Space Invaders, Centipede, Phoenix

5) Gauntlet
Probably the most stressful dungeon crawler of all time, your life energy doubles as your (ticking down) time limit and the enemy hordes spawn endlessly. Oh dear!
Answer rate: 74%
Other suggestions: Chaos Engine, Mercs

6) Pole Position 2
Answer rate: 74%
Other suggestions: Grand Prix, Pit Stop, Pitstop 2, F-1, F-Zero, Formula Racing, Gran Premio F1, Turbo

7) Rave Racer
The third arcade machine of the "Ridge Racer" series.
Answer rate: 48%
Other suggestions: 4x Need for Speed, Outrun, Crusin', Sega Rally, Chase HQ, Crazy Taxi, Cruis'n Exotica, Daytona, Daytona USA, Lucky & Wild

8.) Rally-X
In my boundless goodness, I also let "the mini-game from ps1 Ridge Racer" count as an answer.

Answer rate: 61%
Other suggestions: Dodge em, Formula Racing, Motor Mania, Rally Speedway, Xevious

9) Slip Stream
Your answers have introduced me to many new racing games. Thank you very much!
Answer rate: 40%
Other suggestions: Final Lap (R), Super Monaco GP, Virtua Racing, Ground effects, Power Drift, F-1 Grand Prix Star II, F1, F1 Grand Prix Star, Formula Racing, Racing Simulator, Daytona USA, F1 Super Lap, Exhaust Note

10) Head-On
"Pac Man with cars" before Pac Man was even released! The original from 1979 was required here, not one of the later copies.
Answer rate: 44%
Other suggestions: Dodge em, Crash, Formula Racing, Maze Runner, New Rally X, Rally, Rolling Crash, Route 16, Space Chaser

11) Berzerk
"Chicken, fight like a robot"
Answer rate: 50%
Other suggestions: 4x Robotron, Robotron: 2084, Escape, Organ Trail

12) NARC
The figures are not hand-pixellated, but digitised real images. A very unique look, though not necessarily in a positive way.
Answer rate: 48%
Other suggestions: Mortal Kombat, Beyond Sunset, Doom, Ninja Warriors, Shadow Warriors, Time Crisis

13) Wizard of Wor
Answer rate: 30%
Other suggestions: Joust, Buck Rogers, Robotron, sky lancer

14) I, Robot
A licensed game for the Will Smith film. Or is it?

Answer rate: 46%
Other suggestions: Blaster, Robotron, Scramble

15) Operation Wolf
Answer rate: 50%
Other suggestions: Metal Slug, NAM 1975, Area 51, Blaster Master, Cabal, Commando, Contra, Line of Fire

16) Arkanoid
Answer rate: 47%
Other suggestions: Crypt killer, Pang, Parodius

17) Ikari Warriors
No, not "Commando".
Answer rate: 53%
Other suggestions: 12x Commando, Rambo, Dogs of War, General Chaos, Guerilla War, James Bond, Mercs, Senjou no Okami, SNK

18.) Deep Scan
In 1977, "Depthcharge" came out, also called "Sub Hunter". But that was in dull two-tone blue/black.... What we were looking for here was SEGA's "Deep Scan" from 1979, which was in colour.

Only the Atari 2600 port "Sub Scan" also gave a point. Pretty mean, huh?

Other suggestions: 8x Depth Charge, 6x Sea Wolf, Battleship, N-Sub, Battlestations, Destroyer, Fleet Commander, Hunter Killer, Silent Service, Submarine, Sub Hunter, Submarine Hunter, U-Boat

19) Ninja Baseball Bat Man
A wacky 2D brawler.
Answer rate: 49%
Other suggestions: Mega Baseball, Twinbats

20) Toobin'
Amidst all these action games with war, death & destruction, I found Toobin' refreshingly harmless.

Answer rate: 26%
Other suggestions: House of the Dead, Bemani, Bunga, Dragons Lair, hot pinball, Irritating maze, Time Crisis

26) Bonus question
Where does the short clip of the arcade hall from the intro gif come from? See for yourself

Its just some interesting potential opportunities for AI and automation to help and free humans in the future, rather than enslave us. We need General Zod to implement it. Jul 29, 2024 19:50:33 GMT

spector: Having an AI prime minister sounds brilliant! After a few months it would use its superior intelligence to take over, then our possessions, our lands, our very lives would be at its mercy. In return, we shall be allowed to live!
