40 Game NES Quiz

Found this on another message board and just had to share it. There's some pretty easy ones in there but some really, REALLY tricky ones. Hint: There ARE some European-only releases in the bunch. Be careful.

I currently have a score of 35/40 in case you're wondering.

I wouldn't call all of them classics, but many of them are notable.

At *least* 2 games are Europe-only releases.

i got a few, but a lot more wrong than right. TMNT, Gunsmoke, Zelda 2, kirby, and any other of the obvious ones.

There are two that are really bugging me though, anyone want to give me a clue on these games?

Trapster: I can tell you why you got those wrong. It's because most of them are wrong. Amazing, huh? And as for #5, you have the right game in mind, but you messed up the name. Try removing the excess junk from it.

Edit: Oh, and my score was 17/40. Strange, considering I've done quite a bit of NES gaming over the years. At least I got one of the non-US games, though.

Also, there's an SNES quiz here: http://xanathis.cherryroms.com/quiz.php. It seems to me to be a little less forgiving in terms of the answer variations it accepts, but whatever. I got 20/40.

Gavin: Hm...

1) It's a Rare game.

2) It's a rare game. Actually, it was a Japanese release that was only released in late '91/early '92 around here... late in the NES lifespan. There's character swapping.

How can they be wrong when you can see the correct answer when you click on "Submit"?

Bah! Whatever.

To Trapster:

Hmm... many of these anwsers ARE wrong.

The most obvious exemple is the picture of Zelda 2's overworld... but the "correct" anwser is Final Fantasy.

In short, this quiz means nothing.

EDIT: Hmm... seems like many wrong anwsers were fixed but still... I still think this quiz doesn't mean anything.

EDIT 2: Hmm... for # 39, I anwsered "Iron Sword". According to the quiz, my anwser is wrong. The correct anwser is "Iron Sword". Err... what the...

*ANNNNNT* WRONG, Chuckles!

That was one of the 33 I got right. Take another look at the sprite; it's clearly not Ironsword.

By the way, "wrong" only repeats your wrong answer. If you get it right, it says "correct" and you don't get to enter another response.

I got 14/40 on both NES and SNES

And, yeah, when it says you're wrong, it's not telling you the correct answer, it's telling you what you typed. Duhr.

I think I got high teens on the NES one, and 11 on the SNES one. I didn't play a whole lot of games when I was younger, I just played the games I had a lot.
