June Quiz - Answers & ScoreInsert 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) TempestA classic from Atari with a very unique look.
Answer rate:
79%Other suggestions: Asteroids, Star Wars, Battlezone, Doom, Glaxion, Styx
2) CentipedeI never liked this game... everything is so tiny and fast. :/
Answer rate:
86%Other suggestions: Gauntlet, Snake, Space Invaders
3) 1942This 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) GalagaI also let the predecessor "Galaxian" pass.
Answer rate:
84%Other suggestions: Space Invaders, Centipede, Phoenix

74%Other suggestions: Grand Prix, Pit Stop, Pitstop 2, F-1, F-Zero, Formula Racing, Gran Premio F1, Turbo

18.) Deep ScanIn 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?

37%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

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

26) Bonus questionWhere does the short clip of the arcade hall from the intro gif come from? See for yourself
www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QWEcj7UXFsThe bonus point was not weighted, so it is the "weakest" point of this round.
Answer rate:
27%Other suggestions: 5x Stranger Things, Terminator 2, The Wizard, Barcade, WarGames, Las Vegas, Galloping Ghost Arcade, Gremlins, Joy Stick Heroes, Leeds, Pixels, Butcheroni's Great Arcade New Orleans 1987, Studio 54, Tapper, The Last Starfighter, Back to the Future
