Were you a 90s gamer?

So someone uploaded a pretty damn brilliant flash game, consisting of over 90 questions which give you themes from various games in the 90s (predominately SNES and Megadrive games) and simply ask you to put in the name of the game, or simply the name of the main protagonist of the game.

Now, not only is it brilliant, it is also fucking hard as fuck. I've been at it for a good few hours, attempting to do it without hints and I've only come up with 32 games so far.

So GAF, go for it. Somebody impress me. Somebody on here is bound to get absolutely every single game without using any hints whatsoever.

[fluffydelusions]

90 questions? no..just no. I was a 90s gamer and don't need a test to tell me that :P

[santi_yo]

oh, thanks, i have no life.

[CosmicQueso]

Jeez, but I already took the SAT. I ain't doing that again.

Thought this thread was about awesome obscure flash games from the internet of the nineties. Was ready to post about how the cartoon network site used to be my bitch in that regard.

[lethial]

Man there was some awful music back then.

[FrontalMonk]

yeah no. I can get some of these, but there's no way I'll get them all without hints. Even with hints, there's probably no way with some of these, just because I haven't played them all, and I know it.

Better than todays

the 80's was the superior gaming decade.

80's for the win, so no, not taking that test,

[Roto13]

It won't load for me but I don't need it to tell me what I am.

[Metalmurphy]

I was a 90s PC gamer and I feel insulted by this game.

Yo that RPG where you play as characters from CN shows and it was split up into 5 "episodes" was the shiiiiit

[Lhexh]

Anyone ever play the FPS flash game on shockwave's old website? I forget the damn name!

[ghibli99]

16-bit is my favorite. Did a quick sampler across the top row... got about half of them. Gonna try it for real later tonight.

[Vitet]

So the PC doesn't exists in the 90s?

EDIT: Beaten. I had a SNES but I played on my PC the most...

[ReaperXL07]

43 correct answers without tips or screens, i'm actually surprised I got that far, considering they actually have some obscure shite on there. It's cool though, would play again if I did not know the answers now.

[Metalmurphy]

Song on 24 brought me back haha

Lion King


And ofc they had to use the moon level for Duck Tales

ski free ftw

[MisterHero]

Awesome, they used the awesome theme from the 1st SNES Power Rangers game

[Vitet]

They put some music for Donkey Kong Country that it's not from the first game ¬¬

[backlot]

I only got 21... Some of their hints were pretty bad. I shouldn't have to give them hint coins for them to tell me its a platformer or a beat em up when that's plainly obvious from the screenshot.

[Typographenia]

I was expecting something like Lenny Loosejocks or something in here.




Do you have to have an account to do this?

[Haunted]

Too many SNES/Genesis games, not enough Amiga/PC/PS1/N64 stuff. C'mon son.

Still, these are always fun. ^_^

It's Diddy's Kong Quest, no?

[Haunted]

Second row, far right, what am I missing?

Certain that it's James Pond.

[BGBW]

Surely you just need one question:

Did you play games between the years 1990 and 2000?


Quiz failed when it asked me for the music from StarWING. Back in the 90s we had two names for the first Starfox game.

[PKrockin]

Thought this thread would be about ye olde flash games :(

[MisterHero]

Surely you just need one question: Did you play games between the years 1990 and 2000?

Not enough of them :(

i'd have remembered some N64 tunes, those would be fun

[FinKL]

I wonder, is 90's video game music memorable because it was actually good, or because when your a kid you grow up with this stuff and it becomes second nature kind of like a language.

Also, every other song sounds like a MegaMan song to me =/

Set on-board a dark space ship?

On chrome I just had to wait a while for it to load.

Well I've discovered songs I like from old games this decade so there were some good compositions. It does help that they have a strong melody whereas music today tends to be more atmospheric.

[TucoBenedictoPacifico]

No, it really wasn't. And I was a 80's gamer myself.
90's were better in any possible way.

That said, yes, I was a 90's gamer too, but I was way more in love with Amiga and PC games. SNES and Genesis (Sega Megadrive, here) were an afterthought for me.

[JumpingTheGun]

Fuck yeah the Cool Spot music is so good

Actually good.

I played Chrono Trigger for the first time last year and its soundtrack blew my fucking balls off.

[fluffydelusions]

Agreed. I gamed in 80's and 90's and I think 90's had the better games overall. 80's were rather "conservative". 90s got a bit riskier.

[whitehawk]

Man there was some awful music back then.

It was still a very new industry. Tommy Tallerico got his job because a Virgin employee saw him with a gaming T-Shirt on so he got hired.

Try the subtitle :P

That fucking Sasquatch....

[The Albatross]

What many of these tests, polls, etc, forget is that while many of us were 90s gamers, gaming was different for most of us then. I was 6 in 1990, 16 in 2000, I played many iconic games but finances were different for me. My siblings & i got 1 or 2 games a year, we got them for Christmas or maybe birthdays. It wasn't like now where, at 28,I can buy any game that I want. For that reason, I didn't play many great 90s games because, well, shit, I didn't have a job.

[schwabdizzle]

That was fucking hard.....or do to substance abuse in my teens in 20s......I don't remember shit.

[Spieler Eins]

Second half of the 90s apparently vanished.

[DarkCloud]

GAH! I used a screenshot hint on #44 cause i didn't let the note play out long enough.

[MrCunningham]

I was an 80's and a 90's gamer. Not much of an "00's" gamer, to be honest, I kinda stopped during that decade. But I'm also a "10's" gamer. :P

[Haunted]

Try the subtitle :P

fucking BULLSHIT

[Jive Turkey]

Number 50 is driving me and my fiancee crazy. We both played the hell out of that game and I can even see the title screen but not the title. Worst part is I know it's super easy. :(
