Friday Quiz: SCRambled 4

Post by GreenCard »

This morning, I noticed the eggs in my fridge were a bit out of date. I was going to scramble them for breakfast, but decided it wasn't worth the whisk.

Before I get my coat, I'll very quickly let you all know about a quiz. So, there's a quiz, it's happening this Friday, at around 0900 hours. Pop along, it'll be a hoot. Last one there's a rotten egg.

Not to sound ungrateful but I wonder if anyone else feels Friday evenings would be a better time for quizzes? At 9am any morning I’m usually still ploughing through my work inbox, so often miss out.

Not 100% sure but I think it was discussed before @5MinuteRetro , and IIRC mornings had the edge.

For my part I have a slight preference for morning. Good for quick Friday skive or brew.

The simplest solution is to have one on Friday morning and another one on Friday evening.

Then additional ones on all the other weekdays.

Fair enough. I’ll stand down. :)

I think I actually posted a poll a while back, and mornings won. Can't find it now though, so I might have dreamt it.

Not worth it for me. I’d consider popping along for a hoot and a half, though.

Oh, go on then, but no more than a hoot and a half, ok? I'm not sure I can provide two whole hoots.

It's Friday! Weeeeeeeeeeeee! :)

Here are 20 loading screens, all "pixelised" using the Paintbox tool in BASin. Can you identify which games they're from?

Rules for this quiz: Only one answer per post, no consecutive posts from the same user (mine don't count). Correct answers are worth 1 point each, or 0.5 points each if/when clues are given. If clues are given, rules no longer apply (except for the points rule, obviously). Answers are definitely not Stonkers.
