Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Scientists have identified the newest threat to mankind: the tetromino. No one knows what they want or where they come from, yet still they drift slowly, closer and closer to earth. This film is sure to be this year's biggest blockbuster, literally! Which arcade game are we referring to?

Answer: Tetris

A "Tetris" film could be rather amusing, and already there are parodies of it online, playing on the dreaded "Battleship" movie. Of course, a "tetromino" is the name of the pieces in "Tetris", which slowly fall down the screen until you make a line of blocks. What a blockbuster, eh?
2. Come watch the most anticipated movie of the year. A man lives vicariously in his small town neighborhood, completing only the most mundane tasks imaginable. One moment, he is putting a book on a shelf, the next, getting a good night's rest. If only he didn't have to keep picking up the newspaper and putting it into the trash! What game might this movie trailer describe?

Answer: The Sims

Possibly the most popular of simulation games, "The Sims" can be a good way to live vicariously through a small computer character. While there are exciting events that can be played out in the game, most of its challenges lay in everyday tasks.

And don't forget to trash your newspapers, or your lawn might start to look like an episode of the TV show "Hoarders".
3. This year's newest horror film brings back the classic arthropod of long-gone ages. The only problem: shooting these evil creatures only succeeds in releasing a giant fungal growth. Oh, the horror! The horror above describes which game?

Answer: Centipede

This video game was a staple of the old arcade and involved a centipede crawling down the screen as the player tried to shoot it with a laser. As the centipede was hit, a large mushroom appeared on the screen.
4. The ball is in play in this adventure, where destruction is rampant. Will you take the red pill or the blue pill? You can play with pills in which of these games?

Answer: Arkanoid

A ball striking bricks might not exactly be prime for drama. The title of "Arkanoid" refers to a mothership in which your ship has escaped. In the game, "pills" are occasionally released from the bricks when you destroy them, giving you extra powers.
5. We'll take you on an adventure to a sleepy backwoods community. Life on this perfectly-square plot may seem a bit dull, but suddenly the seeds of something organic are planted, and soon after a crop is harvested. Don't miss this exciting new thriller. Which of these games is described here?

Answer: FarmVille

Yes, it's the farming simulator "FarmVille" which was widely popular as a Facebook game when it first came out and has since spawned a sequel.

Though "Harvester" sounds like it might be the name of a game that could fit this description, it is actually a very NSFW adventure game that has had mostly negative reviews, including from "PC Gamer" which called it the "goriest, most confusing, and above all stupidest horror game ever".
6. Angelina Jolie plays Chell in this heart-wrenching tale of psychological thrills. You'll laugh and cry as she attempts to escape her prison, and you'll fall in love with her adorable companion, Companion Cube. You'll be GLaDOS you didn't miss it! In which of these games will we fall in love with Companion Cube?

Answer: Portal

"Portal" is a first-person platform game where one must use a series of portals to move from one area to the next in order to escape from a facility. In the game, you befriend an inanimate object known as the Weighted Companion Cube, which you eventually have to incinerate.

GLaDOS, which stands for Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System, is a malevolent form of artificial intelligence which serves as a sort of narrator during the game.
7. Become mesmerized as these legends of rock continuously play the same five notes over and over. Only the notes aren't entirely what they seem. In this fantastic world, they're actually colors which blow up into giant flames. You're ready to rock with what game?

Answer: Guitar Hero

A common sight on college campuses, "Guitar Hero" is played with a controller shaped like, and which functions as, a guitar. The guitar has a series of five colored buttons which must be pressed as a coordinated colored note is displayed in its proper position, exploding into flame if correct.
8. Mankind's most ancient curse has come to life. The dead roam the streets once again, and this time there's only one thing standing between them and the last remaining humans: genetically-modified plants. What zombie game is described here?

Answer: Plants vs. Zombies

While "Plants vs. Zombies" is an amusing, if not comical, game with sequels under its belt, it would make a particularly horrendous movie. Of course, the plants and zombies battle one another in this alternative world, each with their own special capabilities.
9. Welcome to a story of triply-sweet proportions, a land brimming with the sugar-filled dreams of children. You'll want to notify ALL your friends of this wonderful fairy tale world. Which Facebook-heavy game would you be playing?

Answer: Candy Crush Saga

"Candy Crush Saga" became an extremely popular game, passing "FarmVille" in 2013 as the most popular game on Facebook. It is widely known as that game where your friends send you annoying notifications for you to play with them.
10. This holiday season, prepare yourself for a visit from the four Ghosts of Video Games past. Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde take you around a whirlwind maze adventure while you munch on yellow, butter-flavored pellets in the comfort of your seats. What classic game is described above?

Answer: Pac-Man

A classic game which is rife with nostalgia, "Pac-Man" is still played in arcades today. You are chased by four ghosts and must finish munching all the yellow-colored pellets in order to move on to the next level.
