QUESTION 31 - Name 3 games that used 3D graphics (in other words Polygonal) on the GBA.

[Pirez]

Damn, I only know two : Dark Arena and Tron 2.0 Killer App (which only has segments in 3D)

As for a third... A racing game? Let's try a port of Need For Speed Underground maybe?

[Hunchman801]

Isn't it when you walk on a narrow sidewalk and this huge pig comes up opposite you, so you try to let it pass, but it just keep standing there dumbfounded, then you shrug and continue walking, then it freaks out and starts running away from you across the highway, almost getting hit by 3 different cars?

Such a waste! You can't even eat it with all the broken bones.

[Rsandee]

Spiderman 2 on the GBA (exploring the city in between missions is in 3D), Dark Arena and Tron 2.0 killer app.

[Master]

Pirez got in a lucky guess, and takes the point. He's now a single correct answer away from victory!

Though I'm surprised you hadn't heard of this Asterix game:

QUESTION 32 - What is the name given to the technique used to simulate transparency on CRTs for older 2D games (think the waterfalls in Green Hill Zone as an example)

[dr_st]

Are you referring to using dithering (a.k.a screen-door transparency?)

[Pirez]

Though I'm surprised you hadn't heard of this Asterix game:

You'd be surprised how many Asterix games I've missed. I'm mostly aware of the NES/SNES ones, and also that Risk-like on the PS1 but that's about it.

I said 'almost getting hit'. It survived and ran into the bushes. Some time later a different pig got hit by a motorcyclist on a different street. The pig died, and the motorcyclist needed just six months of physiotherapy.

The motorcyclist should be good to eat, then.

dr_st making a last second charge from the rear it seems!

QUESTION 34 - What was the time period between the release of the first TF2 "Meet the team" video (Meet the Heavy) and the final (Meet the Pyro)? Closest to the actual time range will get the point, so I'll leave this open for a day or two unless someone happens to get it bang on.

Bonus point if you can tell me what was also released alongside the final Meet the Pyro video.

[Giant Chicken]

6 months?

[Rsandee]

12 years?
