Monthly Videogame Quiz

Know barely any of these, but I've put my poor effort in to get on the board.

Can we do the remaining rounds of DOS classics?

Yup, didn't get many.

I really should have tried this one, as there are some here I didn't recognise from a glance, but I've actually played! Should definitely have got Dead by Daylight and Half Life: Alyx, if I had of bothered to zoom in on the images. May have been able to squeeze into double figures, which would have been pretty good compared to other scores here.

Hey everyone, I'm currently on vacation and didn't plan so well - now I can't finish this month's quiz in time. :/

That's why I'm taking a break for a month and we will continue in November.

See you then!

November Quiz - Clues #1

Half the month is over, fifty players are already in. Not bad, but there's still a lot of room at the table and nobody has scored full points - sit down, grab a dice and join in! ^_^

Here are the first clues:

1) Game 3 is from this decade, the award-winning first title from a new German game company - here we had the video game first, then the board game.
2) Title number 7 is a well-known children's game where you control a hippopotamus.
3) If you like Japanese RPGs, you may have already seen the card game in picture 9. This title is available as an RPG mini-game and as a stand-alone online game.
4) In picture number 14, we see the ps2 spin-off of a strategy series in the form of a virtual board game.

The deadline is Thursday 30th of November, please participate via www.retrogamequiz.com/

Here's the quiz again... if it's your turn and you can't lay a card, you have to draw one! i.imgur.com/pSlkklm.png

November Quiz - this round ends soon!

How many cards do you still have in your hand? Quick, play all of them! Thursday night this round will be over.
So far almost 100 people have joined, but just one of them from this forum. Don't stop now!

Barely know any of these, but have added my poor effort to the list!

November Quiz - Answers & Score

Time is up and the game is over! Who has brought all their pieces to the finish, has the most victory points and has no cards left in their hand? Scroll down and you'll find the high score list.

Something unusual happened in this round. All games were found out, but not by everyone - nobody scored full points (25+1 bonus) all month long.

The bonus point was awarded for correctly guessing the cover picture, which was of course inspired by the magical board game Jumanji.

Thanks to you all for participating... there is ONE quiz left.

They look like this!

XD

This looks tough, I will have a go. Seeing number 10 just put a smile on my face, I have fond memories of that one!

It's a shame this is the last one, I will miss these.

January Quiz - Clues #2

Here is the quiz again: i.imgur.com/vbJloo1.png

Aaaand done! Not a great showing, but I didn't want to miss out on the last one.

Added my answers also, in an effort to increase the FG participants; what are you people waiting for?!?

I've done it. Fucking peer pressure.
