Name the Game - Sprite Quiz #02 (difficulty: ★★☆☆☆)

Post by mikeleddy83 »

Thought I'd post another Sunday quiz, please read the new additional rules (they've changed a little) in advance of entering.

Additional rules
To allow more players to participate I've taken the measure that you only submit up to 4 answers at a time until prompted for more. I want as many people as possible to be in for a chance at trying the quiz. As with the last quiz the best answer will get the point!

Posting more than 4 answers at a time will void your entry.

Name the game each sprite is taken from. Have fun!

Difficulty level: ★★☆☆☆ (lenient on answers)

Good luck! :mrgreen:

If you're way too advanced for this quiz I'd suggest Roy42's brilliant quote quiz: Name the Character - Quotes Quiz (Difficulty: ?/5)

1. Glass Joe (Mike Tyson's Punch Out!)
2. Kirby (Kirby's Dream Land)
11. Mario Mario (Super Mario World)
14. Blinky (Pac Man)
Oh. Only four. GLaD I saw that in time.

And unless there's a deep mythos surrounding Tetris that I'm not familiar with, calling 17 a character is a bit of a stretch.

If you really want to be plagued by troublesome thoughts google 'tetris fanfiction'.
If you want your dreams haunted google 'tetris slash fiction'.
:o

I have a feeling at least one Tetris game spin-off has attempted to imbue the tetronimoes with personalities, but I couldn't swear to it.

Nice.. I get the names of the characters too (not required though)! I'm glad you brought it up though I'm searching google immediately ;)

Yeah, I know the last quiz was dominated by characters but it's not my intention to let a whole world of gui sprites, background sprites and incidental sprites go homeless just yet. Despite the guess at 13 being wrong it's blown my mind that Karnov is a thing (and somehow I've played 2 games with him in it)! I'm going to have to read up on my Data East.

Rich, you get 2 more guesses since 6 & 11 were taken.

That's not from the original coin-op though (number 8). Could be the Master System version or possibly a handheld.

Master System version then for number 8. Whoever Sega employed to do the box art was the laziest artist in the world. :)

It really annoys me that I know almost all of these, since our answering capacity is so limited. C'est la vie; no restrictions on answers is what kept me from getting in on previous quizzes, so I shouldn't complain. In any case, it actually surprised me that I knew some of them. Suppose it goes to show that for everything else one can say about a game, a lot of the time the artists can create images that simply stick in your head, be it by design, art style or colours.

Don't you worry about that, there's a little trick in store for this quiz, I'll post it around 9 if the quiz seems to be wrapped up by then.

Nope, you got them in one (non-redeemable bonus points for rockman :D)

Any takers for 13 & 19? Anybody is free to guess
