Friday Quiz: MegaQuiz
Friday Quiz: MegaQuiz
You read that correctly - it's going to be MEGA (allegedly)! Tune in tomorrow, at around 9:00 GMT. Or not, it's completely up to you. It's not mandatory or anything.
Re: Friday Quiz: MegaQuiz
Happy Friday, folks! Woooooohoooooooo!
Ok, today's quiz is made up of three rounds. The second round is a bit of an experiment, so I apologise if it doesn't work for whatever reason. It should do though. Hopefully.
Rules: No more than three answers per post. No consecutive posts from the same user. Correct answers are worth 1 point each, then half a point each if any clues are given, after which post/answer restrictions no longer apply.
ROUND 1: Cryptic-ish Round
Guess the name of the game from the (almost) cryptic clue.
1-1. Replica among the stars
1-2. A Christmas drink made with land and youth
1-3. Daredevil scapegoat
1-4. Glitchy child
1-5. Peter Jones's ghost
1-6. Weaponise a bulb
1-7. High-pitched stink
1-8. A chocolate bar goes well with fortified wine
1-9. Envious, inexperienced, stereotypically French headgear
1-10. Battle cat
ROUND 2: Sound Round
Guess the game from the sound effect.

2.5 sounds like it might be Hypersports
Enjoy the sound effects round, feels like I've heard practically every one of them but just can't place them...

These are incorrect.
These are correct (although Morkin already got Green Beret). I'll do an update when I get a minute, just to help clear things up a bit.
I was debating whether to include Armalyte or not, but then I remembered it being released on a YS covertape and thought why not. Besides, someone got it, so it obviously didn't pose too much of a problem.
Re: Friday Quiz: MegaQuiz
Correct!
I wasn't sure how "obscure" to make the sound effects. Glad you're enjoying them, they were quite fun to pick out. I'll do them more often.
Re: Friday Quiz: MegaQuiz
I got it from the clue, and then had to check if it was on the Speccy - I was only aware of it on C64.
