From Quiz Made in China

Answer: Bruce Lee

"Bruce Lee: Quest of the Dragon" was developed Ronin Entertainment and released in the US and Europe in 2000 for Xbox.

From Quiz Wandering the Virtual Deserts

Answer: Journey

In typical thatgamecompany fashion, "Journey", like its predecessors, is presented in a largely minimalistic way. There's no UI and very little in the way of on-screen instructions. From the very beginning, the ultimate goal of reaching a great mountain in the distance is made clear. While not so much a game as an interactive experience, "Journey" nonetheless transitions between a desert environment, the crumbling ruins of a forgotten civilisation, a darkened subterranean cave system and a snowy ascent to the top of the mountain.

From Quiz Video Game Geography

The three, along with Galactic President Captain Qwark, were taken prisoner by Ephemeris and dropped on planet Magnus.

From Quiz Made in China

Answer: Nine

"Nine Monkeys of Shaolin" was released on October 16, 2020 and recreates the atmosphere of the 1970s kung fu movies following the Chinese fantasy genre of Wuxia.

From Quiz Desert Settings in Video Games

Answer: Journey

A bit more concrete than thatgamecompany's earlier indie productions, "Journey" (PS3, PS4) was still conceptual in nature with a bit less directive than a mainstream game. In this one, you navigated a desert searching for pieces of fabric to help you lead the way to your next destination and, ultimately, you would need to reach a distant mountain. The game also allowed players to meet up together in the barren desert, but online and with minimal communication. As simple as the game was, it was awarded several different 'Game of the Year' prizes from different publications.

From Quiz Wandering the Virtual Deserts

Answer: Banjo-Kazooie

On their quest to save Banjo's sister Tooty from the evil clutches of Gruntilda the witch, Banjo and Kazooie find themselves in Gobi's Valley in search of more musical notes and jigsaw pieces. Pyramids and a talking sphinx called Jinxy can be found here, as well as shambling mummies and disembodied bandaged hands. A few puzzles can be played here too, including a memory card game using large floor tiles, and a hasty jaunt through the maze of King Sandybutt. The eponymous Gobi the camel can be found in this world, tied up to a rock. Banjo and Kazooie free him but later force him to give up his water to rejuvenate a dying tree. Annoyed, Gobi runs off to a small alcove hidden away in the world, whereupon Banjo and Kazooie can force him to give up an Empty Honeycomb Piece (used to increase their health). Now extremely annoyed, Gobi leaves his world and turns up later in Click Clock Wood, where yet again he is forced to give up his water to help a seedling grow. Poor old Gobi.

Answer: The Elder Scrolls

Other imperial provinces of Tamriel include High Rock, Summerset Isle, Valenwood, Elsweyr, Morrowind, and Cyrodiil. Skyrim is also known as the Old Kingdom and was the first region of Tamriel settled by humans from the continent of Atmora. Hammerfell is a maritime province, with most of its interior being sparsely populated while Black Marsh is a land of waterways and impenetrable swamps with few roads, meaning most transport is done by boat.

Answer: Spyro: Year of the Dragon

It's from here that Spyro will finally face off against the game's antagonist, the Sorceress. 100 eggs will unlock her lair, while collecting pretty much everything else in the game (like all 149 eggs and 15,000 gems) will unlock a second fight with her in the Super Bonus Round, also accessible from Midnight Mountain.

From Quiz Desert Settings in Video Games

Answer: Earthbound

While not a lot of the actual (extensive) storyline unfolds in the Dusty Dunes Desert, this intermediary area between the mid-game cities of Threed and Fourside is interesting because, like in a real, blazing desert, it holds the severe possibility of inflicting sunstroke on Ness and the party. No worries though! As long as you have Wet Towels on-hand (which you can buy at the local drug store), the sun is very little to fear as you head towards the game's metropolis.

From Quiz Video Game Cities

Answer: City 17

City 17 is supposedly located in Eastern Europe in "Half-Life 2". The Combine, composed mostly of aliens, runs things in this ugly, decaying metropolis. The Combine's base of operations, The Citadel, dominates the area, reaching over two kilometers in the sky.

From Quiz Wandering the Virtual Deserts

Answer: Dubai

Unusually for a shooter video game, "Spec Ops: The Line" is more narrative-driven than its forebears. Set amongst a partially-buried Dubai after a series of severe sandstorms, the game follows a team of US military soldiers who are sent into the city to search for survivors after a radio transmission. Captain Walker, the central character, experiences a series of hallucinations that get progressively worse before he is confronted with the true nature of the events that have occurred in Dubai.

From Quiz Made in China

Answer: Shanghai

"Formula One 04" was first released for the Playstation 2 in July 2004 and was the first official F1 racing game to feature China's Shanghai International Circuit. The circuit was constructed between April 2003 and June 2004 and held the inaugural Chinese Grand Prix (which was won by Ferrari's Rubens Barrichello) on 26 September 2004. The game was part of an ongoing franchise of F1 racing games developed by Psygnosis (later known as Studio Liverpool) and published by Sony Computer Entertainment during the period from 2003-07 that Sony held the exclusive rights to release official F1 games. It gave players a chance to (virtually) experience driving all 18 tracks that held F1 grands prix in 2004, as well as the chance to drive all the cars and play as any of the original line up of drivers who took part in the season. It also introduced a 'career mode' that allowed players to simulate an F1 driver's career - starting off in a slow car at the back of the grid and earning the right to move up to the bigger teams that provide a genuine chance for a driver to become world champion. This question was raced into the quiz by Phoenix Rising's resident F1 fan, F1f1ona81.

Answer: Myst

When this game was released for PlayStation in 1996, I spent hours playing it. Players must visit various "ages" in order to decipher garbled messages and solve complex puzzles before returning to Myst to piece together the clues. The more puzzles solved, the clearer the messages become and the more complex the puzzles start to become as well.

From Quiz My Interest is Peaked

Answer: Mario Kart 64

Choco Mountain is fairly simple in terms of design, with the winding through a canyon of what presumably is chocolate, given the name. Around two-thirds of the way around, the track loops back on itself in a precarious hairpin-like turn. What makes this turn tricky is the removal of barriers and the danger of falling rocks. The track briefly runs parallel to and above an earlier section, so it can be quite easy to fall down onto the track, forcing you to go back around the hairpin again.

Answer: The Talos Principle

Released on Steam and PS4, this unique puzzle game puts you into the role of a sentient AI who, in trying to determine its origin, is forced to complete different trials involving mechanical equipment to collect items and advance rom area to area. The game's second stage is Egyptian-themed, so visiting those ones in particular will place you in expansive deserts and into ruins and pyramids. While the environment in the game doesn't necessarily affect gameplay through theme, the surroundings definitely play a role in how you construct your solutions and, in some cases, they hold hidden secrets.
