Done answering all regular questions, but it says there are three "secret questions". Anyone have a hint as to where I should be looking for those?

bubnbob · (05-09-2012, 01:36 AM)

This is fun. The screenshots are instant cheat buttons though, I feel like a failure when I click it.

Narag · (05-09-2012, 01:43 AM)

Interesting. Cheated to finish it off and evidently there's postgame content!

Draft · (05-09-2012, 01:50 AM)

OMG, I feel like such a tool. I had to buy all the hints to get Ducktales.

Vire · (05-09-2012, 01:51 AM)

Some of these are pretty silly, they take an obscure song from a really popular game just to make it challenging.

I got 38 without hints. :)

Shadow Hog · (05-09-2012, 01:51 AM)

48 points without hints. Now gonna try and mop up the rest, as best as I can...

Lumination · (05-09-2012, 01:52 AM)

I didn't get too many at all, since I barely owned any games at the time. But my god, that music is incredible. It's not nostalgia, because even songs from games I've never heard of sounded great.

ihearthawthats · (05-09-2012, 01:53 AM)

many of these are recognizeable but i can't remember which game it goes with, which is annoying me.

24/93 without hints, but running through again using hints now.

also, i couldn't find mega man or street fighter, which makes me extremely sad. all the big sega games i got pretty easily though.

Yeah I feel like an idiot too.

mysteriousmage09 · (05-09-2012, 01:53 AM)

Well i legitimately got half of them, got another 20 or so with hints. Even with the pics I had no clue like some of the puzzle games.

I love games like this!

stuminus3 · (05-09-2012, 01:58 AM)

Meh, I'm an 80's gamer and this is what Flash is to me.

You're right but they actually want the subtitle from the second game for some reasons...

Edit: blah beaten >.>

ihearthawthats · (05-09-2012, 02:16 AM)

omg, no wonder i couldn't get mega man... they don't even know how to spell "mega man".

Vitet · (05-09-2012, 02:29 AM)

If you zoom-in into the little trivia questions, you can read:

enchiladas
burritos

Shadow Hog · 02:32 AM

Okay, got all 90 questions and all non-secret-question emeralds.

Question becomes, where the hell are the secret questions?

Found one. Up up, down down...

Alrus · (05-09-2012, 02:41 AM)

Hmm, there's one that's obviously Rocket Knight but it doesn't work :|

Edit : Nvm...

And I was wondering why that game wasn't in the list, one of the few I played. Well no clue on the other two

EDIT: Found another secret up, down, left...

I've found one more (see the last trivia on Sonic for a hint), but I can't think of anything that triggers the final one. I've tried ABACABB and IDDQD, which are iconic enough to stand with the other two, but nope...

djplaeskool · (05-09-2012, 03:20 AM)

Shouts out to Air Buster.
F- yeah.

ihearthawthats · 03:34 AM

so anyone get the last secret code?

also...from the dev found in the comments section, regarding chrono trigger:

Quote:

Developer response from saybox

I've never played it, I used internet sources for the hints / trivia. Thanks for the info :)

what a fraud.

edit: got the last secret code. hard to give a hint without directly giving out the game. the best i can do is probably the code to give full health in a popular genesis platformer/shooter

also... i still can't believe theres no street fighter. that combined with the mispelling of "mega man", he must be one of the anti-capcpom gaffers.

They should make a new one.

The subtitle could be Cod of Duty

UncleSporky · 03:43 AM

I didn't think Cosmic Spacehead would be well known enough for a challenge like this.

I had no idea what game it was until I heard that blippy bloopy item pickup sound.

Also I am somewhat angry that it doesn't require more specific names. "The Legend of Zelda" and "Final Fantasy" should not be all that I need to type.

EDIT: Also freakin' Alfred Chicken that I got because I recognized the theme from the NES game.

mrgone · (05-09-2012, 05:38 AM)

Weird, 93/93 with all the emeralds and I didn't get the 100% achievement. Missing something?

Schweinehund · (05-09-2012, 05:40 AM)

90's apparently doesn't include PS/N64.

Also no castlevania, wtf.

You're not alone there. It's kinda odd, that.

Try reloading. Comments i saw indicated it was a bug and that was the workaround.

Thanks! That did it :)

BGBW · (05-09-2012, 12:12 PM)

Zombies Ate My Neighbors is called Zombies in PALland. Goddamn this game. Also Neighbours has a U in it for us Brits.

Yet they accept Teenage Mutant HERO Turtles?

Callo Merlose · (05-09-2012, 01:34 PM)

I feel like that one I'm stuck at now I should know, but I give up for now, will continue later. I love this. Wish there was another one.

rakanishu · (05-09-2012, 01:41 PM)

Weird quiz. Should be called, "do you recognize this SNES/NES music?".

Santar · (05-09-2012, 02:17 PM)

Managed 32 without any hints, never had a Master System or Genesis so that made some of them a bit hard.
Would've been nice if it wasn't only recognize the music type questions though.

Vlad · (05-09-2012, 02:35 PM)

Wtf is going on with the third one from the left on the last row. I knew it from the music alone, but when I didn't accept it, I went ahead and bought the screenshot. Now I KNOW what it is but the game doesn't agree. What's it looking for, here?

A good chunk of those are also from Genesis games.

SpacePirate Ridley · 03:10 PM

Can get 19 without using any tips. Theres 2 i recognise but they are making my head ache trying to remember...
EDIT Fuck, make it one, while I was writing I remembered it was Alex Kidd FUUUUUUUUU
Im sure the other one reminds me too much of Piltowings, but the game says its not that.

Listening this samples I prefer the super nes music to the genesis one.

EDIT 2: Fuck, the second was earthbound not Pilotwings! Fuck.

Slair · (05-09-2012, 03:55 PM)

Only the most undercore will get all these no problem, unfortunatly he's banned.

ckohler · (05-09-2012, 06:07 PM)

79/93 was the best I could do before giving up.

MisterLuffy · (05-09-2012, 06:09 PM)

I have been and always will be a 90s gamer.

Josh7289 · (05-27-2012, 10:27 PM)

This doesn't work well:

Oh man, I remember that. That was cutting edge at the time. Shockwave was a lot better for games than Flash was, it seemed like, but sadly died a grueling death.

ShadyMilkman · (05-27-2012, 11:13 PM)

I don't want to get spoiled, so I won't read the various thread replies, but this is awesome.

aktham · 11:25 PM

going by music only and not using any hints I got 15/93

22/93 with hints :(

lobdale · (05-27-2012, 11:29 PM)

Takes too long to click em all.

Dreavus · 11:43 PM

23/93 going off music alone. I never owned a Genesis so I'm I'm shut out from a ton of games. Going to see where my hint points can take me...

I laughed when the music from Super alfred chicken came on. I thought I was the only person who had owned/played that game.

EDIT: 36/93 with all my hint points used up. Some of these screenshots mean nothing to me! D:

Chacranajxy · (05-27-2012, 11:37 PM)

Gone through the first two rows so far. There were 3 I haven't been able to figure out. It's pretty tough. I didn't play a whole lot of stuff from back then, even though I'm hella into old-school stuff.

Gentleman Jack · (05-27-2012, 11:42 PM)

All this quiz reminds me of is that I didn't own a Genesis and can't identify anything other than Treasure or Sonic games.

_woLf · (05-27-2012, 11:48 PM)

So many of them require specific formatting which makes it even more difficult.

This should be re-named "were you an early-mid 90's gamer" though.

Ditto for me too. Sometimes screenshot hints help for those, most of the time they don't.

The Technomancer · (05-27-2012, 11:59 PM)

Man, I didn't game much in the 90s so I'm having trouble with a lot of these. Dude gets major points for having the Kid Chameleon theme in there though, I grinned as soon as I heard it start.

Chacranajxy · 12:15 AM

I'm convinced this guy only ever played licensed schlock which even I, as a 6 year old, had the sense to turn my nose up at.
