Hey waddya know a thread that isn't a "what will happen at E3?" one.

Here's a fun quiz for you. 80 old PC games with only a part of their screenshots visible. Can you name them all?

Quiz 1
Quiz 2

As a loooong time PC gamer I'm ashamed to score only 17 on the first one and 19 on the second one.

Have fun!, and sorry if old (maybe even 1 or 2 years old).

Unison:

34. is...

Boulder Dash (that I played on Speccy not PC)

35. should be Conan but it says I'm wrong

38. This is Bomberman but I guess it was different named on the PC

 

[ToxicAdam]

Unison:

35 is Barbarian (head chopping fun).

Unison:

Hrrm i must have mistyped that one... I entered that!

38. This is Bomberman but I guess it was different named on the PC

Yeah, I tried that & "Mega Bomberman", but i think it was ATOMIC BOMBERMAN.

 

[Borys]

So the first 40 games are unveiled, on to the next part

 

[fennec fox]

36 = Laser Squad

 

[Fragamemnon]

31 on the first one, 25 on the second one.

It's unaviodable, I suppose, but there's too much emphasis on C64 ports and Lucas/Sierra adventuretrash for my tastes in the quizzes. Simulations, turn-based strategy, and second-tier RPGs get slighted a bit.

The first quiz had freakin' GRAND THEFT AUTO 3 in it. No, that's not classic PC gaming. There is a line in which PC gaming went from "classic gaming" to modern-age PC gaming, and that fault line is most certainly was the onset of the big-budget RTS games and the widespread release of Doom 2.

 

[monchi-kun]

it's going to be even tougher for future generations....imagine having part of a screenshot of current gen games

 

[ToxicAdam]

I don't know .. I could probably tell the difference between Mario Sunshine and Dark Cloud 2. Or Halo and Doom 3. Depends how zoomed in the picture is.


This type of quiz would be alot of fun using Box Cover art.

Wait a second - I know that one of those is Zak McCracken and the Alien Mindbenders, yet it won't accept it as an answer? Good grief.

30 out of 40 on my first attempt. Hmmph.

Try 'Maniac Mansion' instead.

 

[Borys]

30 out of 40 on my first attempt. Hmmph.

That's still awesome.

I've mistaken Diablo for Dark Legion and Doom for Shadowrun. What kind of gamer am I?

Try "Zak McKracken" and you might get better results.
