Video Game Quiz
« on: August 24, 2010, 08:44:15 am »
This is different than a lot of the ones that have been posted here.  You have to type the name of a game based on a screenshot.  Some are very easy and others really were a challenge.  I had no idea on an Iphone game....

The description sounds like the quiz at arcade-shop.de

No need to sign up or login.  It's a flash game so your browser needs scripts enabled on the page.  Running Firefox or which browser?

My 218 Greasemonkey scripts and 37 plugins running in FF probably made this one not work.
Safari on my iPad did run it though.
Crap quiz: all modern games WTF. That's not worth 8-bit music. Only Coolio from San Andreas was recognized. -225 points for skipping that modern crap.

Maybe my draw was bad luck then. The only classic I saw was Donkey Kong. Most games did not even look like games, but like artwork on the sketchboard.

My high score was 1250.

Some interesting ones in there.  I had both Jeopardy and Price is Right, The Sims, Myst, Mario, Zelda, Super Mario World, Ms Pac-Man, and a few that I've seen that I have no idea what they are.

Haven't seen anything really old school yet except Pong. Nothing from an Intellivision or 2600 (game system not the member here  :) )

It was nice to see Canabalt on there. I recommend it to iPhone owners. Here's the online version:

See, I didn't realize until the end that it was an overall timer. I thought it was per answer, so I took too much time.

4250 first attempt. That was a pretty broad range of video games. Pretty sure I'm the only person who needed a hint for World of Warcraft.

I hit skip on that. Also I think one of them was Mass Effect or something, but I wouldn't know.

I had never even heard of that game before, I just saw Megaman playing soccer and typed in "Megaman Soccer" and got it right.

It gave me Halo 2 or 3 times in the same quiz.  Maybe they need a better random function!
