August Quiz - Answers & ScoreSo, that's it (permanently) for the classics from the DOS years... where this category used to always ensure high numbers of participants, the fifth chapter has unfortunately become one of the more sparsely attended rounds of the year with
118 players, same as the much reviled
Flash quiz.
This time a whole
nine people got full points, I'm impressed - but my respect goes especially to the
four people who sent in their answers even though they weren't sure about any game and didn't get any points at all.
I'm sure the next round will be more accessible.
Briefly on the
additional question - your remake requests were very numerous, but the following titles were mentioned most often:
6x Ultima
4x Commander Keen
3x Fallout
Well, who holds the rights? Maybe write to them? After all, clearly the demand is there.
But now let's start with the answers... first the names of the games as
text, then the
pictures, then the
high score.
1) CarmaggedonA well-known series and a very clear picture - the most frequently guessed title of this round still does not reach an 80% answer rate!
Answer rate:
79%Other suggestions: Breath of the Wild, Death Rally
2) Blake Stone: Aliens of GoldApogee, the first... I thought that Wolfenstein 3D couldn't be the only "pre-Doom" first-person shooter that everyone remembers, but I guess I was wrong.
Answer rate:
65%Other suggestions: 18x Wolfenstein, Doom, Myth
3) Silent Service 2A lot of people recognised it as a submarine game, but then got the details wrong. "Silent Hunter" came later in the 90s, "Silent Scope" is the one with the sniper.
