June Quiz - Sports - hints #2

Alright, 40 participants and just three days to the deadline!

There are already a few promising entrys, but Top 10 positions are still easily achievable with around twenty points.


Here are the five last hints, happy quizzing:

1) In game number 21 we have humans competing with Robots (in golf...).

2) There is one FIFA game. Only one!

3) Number 20 plays in the year 2105, with a bizarre mix of handball and ice hockey. Reviews were great, it got several remakes and sequels.

4) Title 22 is a boxing game (new IP by a big publisher). Mediocre ratings though, due to hectic gameplay and high difficulty.

5) The last game in the quiz is played with frisbees.


I hope this helps - no more hints left!
So far, there are four users participating from this forum.

Deadline is this Friday the 30th of June - please participate via www.nerdquiz.de/

[Mr_Horizon]

July Quiz - hints #1

aaaannd action! Already there are more than 20 people trying to connect some pile of pixels with classic movies. No one has full points yet, and a top 10 positition is available from 12 points upwards.

Here are some hints, fitting for the nature of this quiz... which actors can be seen? And I don't mean in the movie or steering the car, I mean whose pixelated faces are actually there in the screenshot fragments of this quiz...have a look!

IMAGE QUIZ JULY 2017 - NOW STARRING...

Amy Jo Johnson
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Avery Brooks
Bruce Willis
Clint Eastwood
Dan Aykroyd
Danny Glover
David Hasselhof
Eddie Murphy
Harrison Ford
Jean Claude Van Damme
Jim Carrey
Leonard Nimoy
Liam Neeson
Mel Gibson
Michael Jordan
Wesley Snipes

Wow, what an AAA-list! Arnold, Jean Claude and Harrison even appear several times.


Please put the exact name of the game as your answer. If you name the franchise or the character, you might not get the full point.

July Quiz - hints #2

Aaaannd...Action? End of the next week is the end of the quiz, so time is running out. So far there's 33 people (and three from this community!), I'm sure there's room for more. The top 10 is still accessible, and with 5 points you're already not last place.

Here some last hints to give you some ideas:

1) On the screenshots with vehicles but no persons, those cars are driven by Michael J. Fox, Dan Aykroyd and Mel Gibson.
2) Arnold Schwarzenegger is visible in three games in a row.
3) The entries with the most "half points" are the 5, the 7, and the 11.
4) The SF movie reference for the number 25 released in 1982.
5) The only 3D game in this quiz is licensing three movies at once.

Please put the exact name of the game as your answer. If you name the franchise or the character, you might not get the full point.

Deadline is monday the 31st of july, please participate via www.nerdquiz.de/

August quiz - all new! new! new!

Folks, a bitter truth: Life has to be more than just 16bit titles from the 90s. This time we're going to ignore all the old consoles, DOS titles and Home Computer blocky graphics, because we will focus completely on the present!

2016 und 2017, that's where the action is, this is what I want to know from you this time - do you recognise the games that were just released this (and last) year?
Genres and styles are a wild mix, what all titles have in common is only young age.

Bonus question: One game is a little bit older than the others - which one?


Deadline is Thursday August 31st - you can participate via www.nerdquiz.de/

Here is the quiz... have fun!

August quiz - hints #1

Hey, I am behind my usual schedule - here's a quiz update with a few hints. So far there's 15 people participating, and even the best ones are many points away from achieving a 100% score. I am sure you can do better!


Here a few clues....

1) Image 3 has been zoomed up a lot - it shows the back of the protagonist.

2) Number 8 is a first person shooter with retro look.

3) Title #12 is a VR game.

4) No one has guessed Nr.23 yet - a realtime strategy game with gameplay similar to "FTL".

5) And the number 25 - oh dear, a scandal game with sex scenes! Only after a "blur-patch" it was allowed to sell again.


Don't forget - all these games were released in 2016 or 2017!

So far no participants from this forum.


Deadline is Thursday 31st of August - please participate via www.nerdquiz.de


here is the quiz again - good luck!

[Mr_Horizon]

August quiz - hints #2

Watch out, deadline is tonight! 40 people have joined so far, let's see if a handful of final clues can motivate some more to participate.

Here are the final five clues...

1) Game nr 13 is a point and click adventure by a developer who is very experienced in this genre.

2) Title 18 is a walking simulator with easy riddles and a clever time mechanic.

3) Image 14 shows a game where many of the characters are blindfolded.

4) Number 19 shows a minigame compilation with mediocre ratings.

5) once more to the 23... hardest game in this quiz. Inspired by an anime, you control an artillery fortress and its soldiers, dueling with other bunkers and weapon installations in a postapokalyptic world. Available on Mac, PC, Android and iOS.

Deadline is tonight - you can participate via www.nerdquiz.de/


here is the quiz one last time - good luck!

Oktober Quiz - Sound FX #2

bleep bleep bloop... it's time for another round of sound FX from the world of video games. A few months ago we did this for the first time, and with all the positive feedback it was clear I'd eventually do it again.

Warning - this riddle is especially difficult... again. Even if you only recognise two or three titles, just participate regardless. Keep in mind it will be like that for all players, even the winners had lots of gaps last time.

As I can't post sound effects in this Forum (the picture at the bottom is just a dummy), I have outsourced the quiz.

Here is the quiz: www.retrogamequiz.com

Participate via this google doc: www.nerdquiz.de

Deadline is Tuesday, October 31st... have fun!

1. FF VII - Victory Fanfare
2. Super Mario Bros. - Pipe enter
3. 
4. Duke Nukem - (the sound bite says it all)
5. Dreamcast boot-up screen
6. 
7. Sonic the Hedgehog - Ring get!
8. 
9.
10.
11.
12. Duck Hunt - Dog laugh
13. ......

25. Ganbare Goemon - Yoooooo

October quiz - hints #1

Alright folks, time to go home - every title has already been found out. Every single one, really!

Oh, and does anybody have full points? Not even close!

No one is even close to the 20-points-mark, and the average score (21 people so far) is clearly below ten. Great chance to get into a top 10 position, everybody!

Let me help you a little, here are a few clues...

1) No games from the first sound quiz (click "back" on the quiz page) are repeated in this one.

2) Two sounds in this riddle are not from games, but from a console itself.

4) Title number 6 is a noise from the antagonists of a science fiction series.

5) Sound 15 is a C64 game, the speech sample shows two of the just 15 digitised words in the game.

6) The 17 is the level up sound of a famous fantasy game.

7) The games 4, 9, 13, 19 und 24 are first person shooters.
