Re: Video Games Knowledge Quiz - Season 5 - DaveRattlehead

Post by DaveRattlehead »

I was only thinking about the main games when I created the post, so I'll consider Pirez's answer correct. If we also consider spin-offs and side games, he has appeared in 9 different games.

The unilateral deal here is... Okay, I saved you from having to mention all of the spin-offs and side games, but this question will definitely be a bit more obscure :hinhinhin:

I can take it as valid! The screenshot is taken from Myst's sequel, which has Riven: the sequel to Myst as the official name. To make things simple, you can see many people referring it as Myst II :)

Definitely worth it to give it a try if you haven't heard about the series.

32 was more than enough for the question, but it seems you're a big fan of the series! Not gonna lie, there are plenty of reasons to be a fan. You're a wise man :mrgreen:

And now dr_st is getting closer! But he must skip next question...

Let's go with something a bit more obscure again!

I am! And DN2 is somehow one of my favorite shoot-em-up platformers, even though objectively there are plenty that can be considered better. I have played it a lot and got 6M+ scores in each episode. 7M in E2. 8)

Ha! I actually know this. Oh well, that's fair, after all Myst II was just a lucky guess. :oops2:

Let's see... Skype was evil, therefore he must have worked at Activision or Blizzard or both.

I'll go with Diablo.

Not even close pal

Okay here you have a clue so all of you can try again...
It was a remake of a game released in 1990. The game I'm looking for was released in 1993.

Super Mario All Stars isn't weird. It's based and you are weird for holding such views.

I'll guess Lemmings.

While I agree that Super Mario All Stars isn’t really “weird,” I do not agree with saying that Edge is weird for thinking that. People can have their own opinions without it defining their character, and an opinion on a video game is certainly not worth making a judgement like that.

So no, Edge is not weird for calling Super Mario All Stars a “weird Mario game collection.” :pfff:

Wasn’t trying to answer the question, I just couldn’t let that slide. :mryellow:

I’m surprised that you don’t know Pirez’s reputation for making jousts like that! :shock:
