Greetings & Scoring Rules
Posted 59 months ago

Hello and welcome to the game quiz cluster. The purpose of this cluster is to stroll down memory lane through series of quizzes on gaming related subjects. Question can be in any form: text, pictures and sound. So, feel free to join in.

I will be adding questions at 4:30 PDT [23:30 GMT].
Scores: after 15 rounds (46 questions)
1st. Beefysworld: 202 points (got: sound quiz 1,2,3&6, image quiz 2&4, Weekly Quiz 1[2,3,6], Weekly Quiz 2[1,4,7], Weekly Quiz 4[1,6,7], Weekly Quiz 5[1,2,5,7], Bonus Question[1] and bonus point on s-quiz 1, w-quiz 4[1])

10th. DanT: 1 point (figured out the franchise right for sound quiz 1)
---. Mishkin: 1 point (Was the first person to answer in the "answer here" box)

Scores unclaimed: after 15 rounds
Sound Quiz 1: 2 bonus points
Sound Quiz 2: 4 bonus points
Sound Quiz 3: 5 bonus points
Image Quiz 1: 5 bonus points

Weekly Quiz 1: 33 bonus points
Weekly Quiz 2: 35 bonus points
Weekly Quiz 3: 34 bonus points
Weekly Quiz 4: 34 bonus points
Weekly Quiz 4: 35 bonus points

It is possible to go for bonus points, by adding interesting trivia about the question in hand. [but lets not make it a wikipedia so I limit it to 5 bonus points per quiz and 1 bonus point per user, that means 5 different people can get 1 point each extra on each quiz]

indeed it has. I'm waiting on more hints as I'm stumped on all of those that remain.

I have been a bit busy these last couple a weeks. But I guess I can put up some hints for the open questions. I also haven't decided if I should go for more image questions rather than sound, as they seem a bit too hard now that I am having trouble finding recognizable games.

EDIT:
A new hint for Question 5 in Quiz 8.
A new hint for Question 1 in Quiz 9.

While it's not related to these quizzes, I thought it was worth posting anyways...

How many different games can you name?

I have been thinking that it might be better to have one quiz a week, with 7 questions rather than one a day. Because it's already getting very crowded and is starting to look like spam. New quiz on the March 30th

Update
Now there is 24.5 hours until I post the weekly quiz, but I've been thinking it might be best
to post hints always at the same time, so too be more fair.

Update 4.4.07
Next Weekly Quiz will be on the 6th. It should be a bit more difficult than the last one, or I hope so. Anyway the race is really tight between Beefysworld and Jwhx, but their is always a room for more contenders, as each week one person can get up to 77 points.

Update 4.18.07
There are still 2 questions left unanswered in the second week game quiz. Another quiz will be on the 20th. The difficulty level will be harder than 3rd week quiz but hopefully easier than second week quiz.

Update 4.25.07
I have moved the first 10 quizzes into a single mblog to clean up a bit.

Even with clues, I think most people have given up on the 2 remaining questions.. :)

I tried to warn Beefy but he just didn't want to listen. :) I wish we had more people taking part. Oh well, I'm still having fun.

Well I did change to a weekly format, so maybe if people don't see anything new they think there won't be anything new the next time either. Also if the question are difficult, then maybe people won't have a clue and can't guess. You 2 may just be more knowledgeable about 80's & and 90's games than the rest of FiringSquad readers. I have been thinking of including maybe 2-3 written questions so everybody has a chance to race for Google and figure out the answer.

EDIT: Of course I could try to plug it a bit more.

I disappear for 10 days and everyone has caught up.. I guess it's a good thing - keeps things more interesting. :)

I've played my fair share of games over the years, plus I post news on an Aussie gaming site, so I spend a bit of time keeping up with a lot of the things you've posted (developer pics, etc). Plus I love a bit of trivia, so I'm not going anywhere in a hurry now.

Due to the time difference, I'm probably not going to be able to look for a day or two, so everyone will probably beat me to it.
