From Quiz Video Games History

Answer: Atari 2600

The Atari 2600 was released in 1977 by Atari, Inc, a company founded in 1972, but sold to Warner Communications in 1976. This was the home video game console that all the kids wanted, as it came with two joysticks, a pair of controllers, and a game cartridge. By 1982 it was the best selling game system in North America, but its success was short-lived. By 1984 the company was sold once more, and the manufacture of the Atari 2600 ended in 1992. "Megamania" was published in 1982. The game involved shooting down objects like hamburgers and steam irons before the energy bar ran out. Although some people liked the graphics of the game, others said that in spite of the use of hamburgers and other objects, it really wasn't different from other games that had been released.

From Quiz Video Games History Grab-Bag

Answer: Playing cards

Founded way back on 23 September 1889 in Kyoto, Japan, Nintendo was originally a manufacturer of playing cards. Then it expanded to other toys and games. In the 1960s, Nintendo diversified to owning hotels. Beginning in the 1970s, Nintendo started making video games. In 1980, the company released a hand-held electronic gaming device called Game and Watch, produced until 1991. Simple games like Chef, whose object was keeping food in the air, could be played in this forerunner to the Game Boy. In 1985, Nintendo produced its first home video game console to be attached to a television set: the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), or Famicom in Japan, which ran on an 8-bit CPU. So many popular and long-running games were created, developed, or adapted for the NES: "Super Mario Bros.", "The Legend of Zelda", "Donkey Kong", "Castlevania", and "Final Fantasy". The handheld, green-screened Game Boy, invented by Gunpei Yokoi, appeared in 1989 and superseded the Game and Watch. It was the first portable console to use game cartridges. For the first time, then, players could interchange games and not be limited to what was "hard-wired" in the device -- quite an innovation.

From Quiz Camera, Action... Video Game 2!

Answer: Fallout

Developed, in the main, by Tim Cain, "Fallout" is seen as one of the games that re-invigorated the RPG (Role Playing Game) genre.

When a chip controlling the vault's water supply is damaged, our protagonist must venture to the surface to find another, meaning he has confront whatever lies out there.

From Quiz Camera, Action... Video Game!

Answer: Pitfall!

Released by Activision in 1982 you, as the player, control Pitfall Harry through 255 screens of jungle layout. Along the way you need to collect 32 different treasures, which could be money, gold, silver or diamond rings. You have twenty minutes to do it all. If you remain on the surface you can only cross one screen at a time in which case, you won't have enough time to collect all the treasures. There is a tunnel that you can traverse through, below ground, and this will help you to move three screens at a time... but, beware, there are scorpions about and you could run into brick walls that will block your path. It is no picnic on the surface either where there's quicksand, water-holes, crocodiles and tar-pits that can kill you. Also, watch out for those pesky logs which will also slow you down. This question was written by Phoenix Rising's pollucci19 who considers himself the team's pit-bear but we all know that he's our fall-bear.

From Quiz What? Did They Just Make a Video Game About That?

Answer: Michael Jordan

"Michael Jordan: Chaos in the Windy City" was released for the SNES in November, 1994. It is not a sports game, but a platformer like "Super Mario Bros." or "Mega Man". In the game, several basketball players were kidnapped by a mad scientist named Maximus Cranium. Michael Jordan must use basketballs that contain various powers to defeat enemies and collect keys to try and rescue them. It was released a month after "Shaq Fu", which was a fighting game featuring fellow basketball player Shaquille O'Neal for the SNES, Sega Genesis and later the Game Boy and Game Gear.

From Quiz Billion $$ Video Game Characters: Humble Origins

Answer: It did modestly well in Japan but became a global hit after it was released in the US

In 1980, "Pac-Man" evoked a lukewarm response when first released in Japan because "Space Invaders" and other shooting games, (led by Atari) were far more popular. "Pac-Man"'s success in the US took everyone by surprise: the game was the first with "power-ups", the ghosts had rudimentary artificial intelligence and the game had "cutscenes" (Fixed storyboards between levels). Maze-chase games then exploded onto the market. In the US alone 30 million people played "Pac-Man" regularly and it became the biggest arcade game of all time, overtaking Atari's "Asteroids" in 1982. In that year it grossed over $US1 billion in income, at a quarter (25c) a time per play. In 2016 "USgamer" calculated that the games earnings (adjusted for inflation) were over $US7.6 billion. In 2001, "Pac-Man" was voted the greatest video game of all time in the UK.

From Quiz Wasted Hours

Answer: V

In terms of standard RPG fare, "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" has sucked up a few hundred hours of my life. My first encounter with RPGs as a whole was in 2003 when I was given "The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind" (which had released the year before) for Christmas. At the time, I was 10 and didn't really know what I was doing (I don't think I remember ever getting past the first town) so I largely ignored the series as not really being my cup of tea. Fast forward to 2012 when I had a bit more gaming experience under my belt and my interest was piqued by the then-recently released "Skyrim" (2011). I was instantly hooked and so began my travels as the fabled Dragonborn. Coincidentally, like "Guild Wars 2", "Skyrim" also deals with a land besieged by the awakening of dragons and players are placed in the boots of a prisoner on the way to execution. After it is interrupted by a dragon attack, players are free to wander the land and start a new life for themselves, up until they discover they can absorb the souls of dragons and speak their language, at which point they take up the mantle of Dragonborn and have to save the world.

From Quiz First and Last Letter is the Same - Video Games

Answer: Amnesia

Both "Amnesia: The Dark Descent" and "Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs" were sleeper survival horror games that were progenitors to later PC releases like "Outlast" which focused on the true terror behind the story instead of the beat-em-up-and-get-me-away Western horror tropes in later console genre releases. The series, by Frictional Games, was preceded by the "Penumbra" trilogy ("Overture", "Black Plague", and "Requiem") and followed by "Soma"; all of them were for PC.

From Quiz Finish the Video Game Title

Answer: Infinite

"BioShock Infinite", the third in Irrational Games' award-winning series, put the player in the new role of Booker DeWitt, who's arrived in Columbia to save a woman named Elizabeth, trapped in a tower by a steampunk Songbird. The game puts a new spin on the formula seen in the objectivist-led "BioShocks 1 and 2", making Columbia a heavily nationalist location. As such, "Bioshock Infinite" sees the player in a world populated by patriotic foes and steampunk former Presidents.

From Quiz Vintage Video Games in Haiku

Answer: Space Invaders

"Space Invaders" was developed and released in Japan in 1978 before its worldwide distribution. The player used the joystick to shoot at approaching aliens in a marching formation, with the user's tank hiding behind barricades that the aliens would gradually destroy. Despite its simple graphics, the music and the quickening pace of the approaching enemy made "Space Invaders" a rather daunting yet addictive game. In 2008, the "Guinness Book of World Records" named "Space Invaders" one of the top five video games of all time.

From Quiz A Gaming Mix-Up

Answer: Takkar

The game is set in prehistoric ages and the character was named Takkar by head creators of Ubisoft (which was a very nice thought as Takkar means to hit or push in Hindi).

From Quiz And Then You Press START

There are 100 Jiggies to collect, and going into the START menu will allow you to make your way through detailed listings of each area to track them (and Notes and Jinjos, etc.). The same sort of menu, albeit with more details, can be viewed in the popular game's sequel, "Banjo-Tooie".

In 2000, an IGN Readers' Poll voted it Game of the Century!

From Quiz Totally Random Video Game Mix

Answer: Pac-Man

Klonoa looks like a mixture of a cat with a rabbit and his trademark move is to inflate enemies, lift them above his head (a la "Super Mario Bros. 2") and toss them at other enemies or towards the ground for increased air time in its jumps. "Klonoa: Door to Phantomile" was a success, winning several and accolades and considered an innovative platform game.

Answer: "Pac-Man"

The object of "Pac-Man" (and its popular successor "Ms. Pac-Man") is to gobble all of the dots before being captured and "killed" by one of the four ghosts moving throughout the maze. Special "vitamins" allow the player to touch and temporarily disable the ghosts. Coin-operated machines appeared in arcades, convenience stores and family entertainment establishments shortly after the game's release, and it rapidly became a favorite past time for people of all ages.

From Quiz Go Your Own Way

Answer: Heavy Rain

Described as a psychological thriller, 'Heavy Rain' puts players in the role of four central characters, each with ties to the mysterious Origami Killer. All actions are performed as a result of failing or succeeding quick-time events (that is, brief visual cues for button inputs). Certain actions will affect the overall ending, such as letting someone die during a fight or not escaping from a certain situation quickly enough. Developer Quantic Dream followed up the success of 'Heavy Rain' in 2013 with another story-driven quick-time button masher, 'Beyond: Two Souls', which featured Willem Dafoe and Ellen Page as the two main characters.

From Quiz Video Game Terminology

Answer: Lag

Lag is when a game's number of frames sharply drops. This often occurs in areas of high latency. For example, lag may occur when players enter an area with an overabundance of heavily coded objects such as a cathedral with burning torches on the walls and tiny spiders skittering across the floor. The more objects on screen at one time increases the potential of lag occurring though many games take precautionary measures to prevent this.
