March Quiz - Answers & ScoreExciting, exactly the same amount of players as last round -
153 people! How did that happen?
Seems to have been a balanced round with answer rates from 10% to 100%.
A quick pie chart on the SoundFX survey, which unfortunately wasn't very informative:
Only 20% "yes" votes is a bit weak, it would have to be three times as many for me to do such a round again. That's why I'm taking a different approach now. Until the next quiz (i.e. for about a week) you can check out all the past sound quizzes at
www.retrogamequiz.com. Then the "don't know" percentage should reduce and we'll repeat the poll with a clear YES/NO.
But now we start with the results... first the names of the games as
text, then the
pictures, then the
high score.
