Video Games Knowledge Quiz - Season 9 - Pirez

[Ambidextroid]

They included a lockout chip on their games?

[LoveMetal]

Nope, but you're kind of close.

[The Jonster]

Each game cartridge was given a seal of quality that guarantees the quality of each product, later called the Offical Nintendo Seal of Quality.

(I’m still not really sure what I’m looking for)

[LoveMetal]

Correct!

That seal of quality was put on every game that was made using a dev license bought from Nintendo. By seeing those Seals of Quality, the consumers were reassured, and thus bought games again.

Sony did a pretty similar move on the PS2 with games that the public liked. What did they do?

[Aaron]

The platinum thing?

[Steo]

I was gonna say that but PS1 had those too. Is it the way they have the PlayStation logo on the back of the discs (if you old it towards the light you'll see it)?

[LoveMetal]

Shit, it was Platinium that I talked about, but I didn't know it was a fact on PS1 as well, sorry Steo.

France always has always been very active in the video game industry. Ubisoft is our leading studio right now, but in the 80's-90's, Ubisoft wasn't born yet. There was another huge french company at this time, as famous as Ubisoft nowadays. What was it?

[Birds858]

Infogrames, now called Atari, SA.

[Steo]

Shit, it was Platinium that I talked about, but I didn't know it was a fact on PS1 as well, sorry Steo.

I don't blame you, nobody wants PS1 games unless they're black label these days

[LoveMetal]

Correct, Birds858!

Rockstar has always been known for violent and crude games. Grand Theft Auto was badly received by the tories when it went out... but they made a game that was even more controversial! What was it?

[Steo]

Bully or Canas Canim Edit?

[LoveMetal]

Nope, Bully was more fun than anything else. It was just about gaining reputation in some school groups. I'm talking about a game that made a huge scandal.

[Steo]

I was just taking a guess because I remember they changed the name of Bully over something like that to Canis Canem Edit in the UK

[The Jonster]

Manhunt?

[Birds858]

Red Dead Redemption ?
Btw, you forgot to add me the previous point.

[LoveMetal]

Manhunt?

Yes!

Btw, you forgot to add me the previous point.

Sorry, corrected.

You're trapped on an lost island, and you travel through the ages of that island trying to understand the story behind it by solving puzzles.

What game is that?

[Steo]

Tomb Raider, the one from 2013?

[LoveMetal]

Nope!

[Greeness]

The Witness?

[LoveMetal]

Nope, but you are closer!

Hint: it's a 90's game.
I should have specified that since the beginning, so everyone can answer again.
