That explosion in the top right looked familiar, thought it was from Firefly which it wasn't, so I checked everything by Ocean which took a while. But it was fruitful as I found a few things (in some games not made by Ocean, but published by them at some point, like as re-releases so they were also listed there).

- The remaining part of the face (with eye) is from Altered Beast
- The cross/tombstone is from Night Breed
- The green leg is from Renegade III
- Bottom part of explosion is from Shao-Lin's Road

Good work! All correct.

That just leaves the hands.

Correct!

The final league table is as follows...
  • In first place, ending their 30-year wait, are [mention]GreenCard[/mention] and [mention]XTM[/mention] with 5 correct guesses each.
  • The European places go to [mention]Morkin[/mention] in third place with 3 correct guesses and [mention]Daren[/mention] and [mention]Juan F. Ramirez[/mention] in fourth with 2.
  • Mid-table mediocrity for [mention]bj_kock[/mention], [mention]Joefish[/mention], [mention]MatGubbins[/mention], [mention]MrBlaz[/mention] and [mention]R-Tape[/mention] with 1 correct answer.
  • And relegation for the rest!
Same time, same place next week? I have a multi-round mega-quiz prepared, if anyone is up to the challenge.

LOL, 30 year wait ... I won't come (tied) first again for a long time, I had this week off so I actually sat on my computer on a Friday morning. Won't happen again so soon as I'm never home before 4pm on that day.

But it was a fun quiz, thanks for doing these!

Well, this really is an honour! I'd like to thank my parents, my agent, my pet tortoise, Rorthron for organising the quiz, my joint-first place winner XTM, and all the other nominees/contestants... ;)

Excellent quiz, really enjoyed it! :)
