The Gaming Quiz

[Martok]

I've not see one of these in a while, so I figured why not:

I got 49%, which doesn't surprise me. I only own a PC these days; I've not owned a console in years.

Actually, my score was still higher than it really should've been, as I had some lucky guesses on a number of questions. Talk about pulling answers out of a dark place....

[Csargo]

55%

[Crazed Rabbit]

57%

Way to many old school console questions. You could be a hardcore gamer for the last five years and not know it.

CR

[Kongamato]

72%. Not enough console experience.

[Monk]

59%.

All the questions about J-RPGs and obscured trivia from console gaming before i was born killed my score.

[TevashSzat]

57%

Bah, I got everything up to round 2 correct and most of round 3 too, but after that...

[Strike For The South]

44%

[Kekvit Irae]

83%
It pays to be born in 1980.

[Martok]

It pays to be born in 1980.

Would that really make that much of a difference, though? I'm only 4 years older than you are, yet my overall knowledge is obviously still scanty by comparison.

Of course, I'm probably not the greatest example, as growing up I didn't have as much exposure to video games as most kids my age. My parents long held the opinion that "video games are the devil's work", and so I didn't get to play them much unless I was at a friend's house or visiting the local arcade.

Got lucky with some educated guesses, but the degree of difficulty in rounds 5 and 6 killed me. Not too bad for someone who has never owned a console.

The year is not sufficient enough, but when combined with other factors such as loving parents who are technologically-inclined and open to gaming, it does make a big difference.
Whereas other children my age back then would have been playing with their Barbies or such, me and my sister were busy with Dragon's Lair on the Coleco.

[Tiberius of the Drake]

69% at my highest.

[Ferret]

46% I've never heard of most of those games...

[pevergreen]

100% until some Final Fantasy questions came my way.
Gah, ended up around 70%.

[Husar]

48%.

It's not my age, I was simply not interested in many of the games others consider classics, I played mostly Flight Sims in DOS, some questions about these wouldn't have hurt.
Oh and before playing in DOS I played with Paint, had friends and read a lot more than nowadays.

[CountArach]

40%

Way too many old SNES/N64 games there. I didn't own either of them...

[Crazed Rabbit]

And they had no questions about lemmings, which was the oldest game I played.

CR

[Ironside]

46%

Lower than expected

[Thermal]

48% to many old unheard of games, started easy soon became very hard, i guessed a bit to, i got the kirby question right caus ive played smash mario bro or wateva its called 4 the wii

[Quirinus]

53%.. o.O Being a very casual gamer born in '91 who doesn't play consoles, I fully expected to get 20-30%... though I got many, many lucky guesses. =D

[frogbeastegg]

72%. I tripped up on most of the MP and sport games questions.

[naut]

55%. All those J-games and old school console questions, like those SNES questions I kept getting. :yawn: Was exited when I got a couple Silent Hill questions.
