A few easy and difficult questions. You can win a GOG for 5.99 USD.
1. If you had won the game in real-life, Daikatana would never have been designed. Who was the designer and what was the game?
2. 502 years after the real Exploration, he became the title figure for the German version of this game. Who is he?
3. In the German version of another game, published in the same year as the one from the former question, you could go to Moscow but not to the United States. The English version featured the United States but not Moscow. In both versions, however, you had to become - with legal or illegal means - that kind of businessman that was the title of the English version. So what was the name of this game?
4. Sex and violence in videogames were a strong theme in the title of a video game series that won many awards. After all, the name-giving protagonist still is regarded as one of the coolest heroes, and lots of garbage and grabbage are to be found in the most popular part. What was his name in the first part of the series?
5. Another video game series got a TV spinoff of which one episode numbered 1x38 was banned in several countries, including India, UK, the United States, France, Singapore, Malaysia and China. An edited version was passed in the United States. What could have been seen in the six seconds that caused the ban, after all, caused many people to go to hospitals, some having seizures. What was the name of that videogame and TV series?
6. A financial crisis was caused in Japan by a Taito video game. What was the kind of the crisis and what video game led to it?
7. A lot of Silicon was used in videogames. Adding Synapse a game for PC and another platform was created that featured three rather old men. What was the name of the game by a company that would become very cold?
8. A famous game leads you from 1802 to 2000, through a first and Second Century. What is it's name?
9. The first part of the series the game from the question before is from was designed by one of the more famous video game creators. In 1990 he laid the foundation to another video game series, working for one of the most innovative companies that however had the half of its lifetime behind it. In 2003 the last studio of that company was closed. What company brought us so many classical and really good old games and what is the name of this famous video game designer?
10. Send me an e-mail with all the questions correctly solved and specify what game you want. Searching for my e-mail address on the forum is the annoying part of this quiz. :-)
Explanations and the winner will be posted here.
