For Those Who Won't Play "Minecraft"... Quiz


I'm with you. No, seriously-- "Minecraft" isn't the game for me. In fact, I'll admit I don't know most of the finer details. The things I do know, however, I can find elsewhere. So can you.

Question 1 of 10
1. The basis of "Minecraft" surrounds the moving and building of blocks, often made of different materials. Fortunately, you don't need to play "Minecraft" to move blocks.

In which 2011 Atlus puzzle game does the player take on the role of Vincent Brooks, a man who must move blocks in his sleep to ascend nightmarish towers guarded by sheep?
Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. With a game like "Minecraft" needing so many blocks, you might wonder "what the heck? Where, oh where, Kyle, do I find a game that has a comparable mount of blocks?"

If I may say, you can always tackle Silicon Studio's 2009 RPG in which you can create your own characters, pixel by pixel. Which of these games could that be?
Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. Maybe you're just looking for an MMO. Which of these would be an example of an MMO? Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. If the only reason you want to play "Minecraft" is because of its Swedish origins, there are other options out there. Which of these other games was also made by a Swedish developer? Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. Maybe it's all about the enemies with you? If you're only considering what you could fight, then you very likely already know about Creepers-- explosive, green enemies which appear at night.

In which of these four games would you instead need Creep, upon which you could build your Zerg homebase?
Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. Just like almost every other popular game, "Minecraft" features Zombies. You can easily find those somewhere else. Why not try a different game instead?

Which of these games actually DOESN'T contain zombie figures?
Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. The general basis of "Minecraft" is to...well...mine things; you mine different materials to build and progress in the game. If you're only into the idea of mining, maybe there's something else out there for you.

In which of these games could you navigate levels via mine cart?
Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. One major rule of "Minecraft", from what I've gleaned, is that you never dig straight down. This makes sense...except that you can drop into lava.

In this series using Dig to dive straight down underground is actually a benefit in most cases. In which game would you use Dig to attack anyone not in flight?
Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. Why settle for a lazy copy? One of the more popular mobs added to "Minecraft" was Enderman, clearly an homage to the main character of what online-distributed PC game? Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. If you're looking for a game with a large fanbase, you probably already know a lot about 'MineCon'-- "Minecraft's" annual convention. Of course, it's not the only game with its own events.

Which game would you likely visit BlizzCon to celebrate (along with tens of thousands of others and, potentially, millions streaming online)?
Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The basis of "Minecraft" surrounds the moving and building of blocks, often made of different materials. Fortunately, you don't need to play "Minecraft" to move blocks. In which 2011 Atlus puzzle game does the player take on the role of Vincent Brooks, a man who must move blocks in his sleep to ascend nightmarish towers guarded by sheep?

Answer: Catherine

"Catherine", despite being an unconventional puzzle game about moving blocks to ascend towers in an adulterous man's worst nightmares, was quite popular on the Xbox 360 and PS3. Over the course of several nights, Vincent Brooks needed to overcome the evil succubus Catherine's horrible mind puzzles while other local men (symbolically anthropomorphized as sheep) fell to her wiles...and fell off the towers. If puzzles are your thing, then you need not turn to "Minecraft", especially since the blocks in "Catherine" eventually fall off the screen, cleaning up the mess.
2. With a game like "Minecraft" needing so many blocks, you might wonder "what the heck? Where, oh where, Kyle, do I find a game that has a comparable mount of blocks?" If I may say, you can always tackle Silicon Studio's 2009 RPG in which you can create your own characters, pixel by pixel. Which of these games could that be?

Answer: 3D Dot Game Heroes

"3D Dot Game Heroes", published by Atlus in North America, only on the PS3, combined the action-adventure of early "Legend of Zelda" platformers with the retro nostalgia of old 2D gaming. With a great deal of customizability, especially in the construction of characters using pixel-sized blocks, the game never really let mindless construction take over; players could build on a whim or go adventuring, collecting items, blowing up other, blockier monsters, or exploring. And you know what? It had more action than a single game of "Minecraft", that's for sure.
3. Maybe you're just looking for an MMO. Which of these would be an example of an MMO?

Answer: DotA

"DotA", better known by that abbreviation but actually short for "Defense of the Ancients", is a game originally derived from "Warcraft III" mods shortly after its release. Along with "League of Legends", the game has taken fantasy combat to the forefront to become one of the most lucrative games for competitive e-gaming. Worldwide tournaments occur every year, some with prize pools in the tens of millions of dollars, for the game. Of course, it's also for casual players too. MMO is short for MMORPG-- Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game.

"Candy Crush Saga", "Solitaire", and "Wii Fit" are more casual than anything, and you may find all of them vastly more compelling than "Minecraft" if you're looking for that.
4. If the only reason you want to play "Minecraft" is because of its Swedish origins, there are other options out there. Which of these other games was also made by a Swedish developer?

Answer: Mirror's Edge

Well, Mojang, the developers of "Minecraft" (along with creator Markus Persson, who fanboys know affectionately as 'Notch'), are definitely Swedish; the word 'Mojang' is Swedish for 'Gadget'. If you're looking for something to build with that also happens to be from Sweden, I'd say you need a trip to IKEA.

You know, instead you could play a game by EA's DICE studios (short for Digital Illusions Creative Entertainment) who made the games "Mirror's Edge" in 2008 and the "Star Wars: Battlefront" series. All three of the other options are American developers...or were, rather; they're all defunct now. Two of them made "Guitar Hero" games.
5. Maybe it's all about the enemies with you? If you're only considering what you could fight, then you very likely already know about Creepers-- explosive, green enemies which appear at night. In which of these four games would you instead need Creep, upon which you could build your Zerg homebase?

Answer: Starcraft

In "Starcraft", the player takes on a group of Terran, Protoss, or Zerg forces to defeat other groups of enemies in one of the three factions. Terran, humans, use mechanical buildings while Protoss, an alien race, uses psionic structures. Zerg, however, a natural force, has to build all of their living structures on creep-- a specially-made ground formed through the construction of colonies and other buildings. No creep, no building.

Creep is a lot safer than the Creepers of "Minecraft" though. One helps while the other hinders. When dealing with explosives, it's always best to keep a safe distance. Play "Starcraft" instead.
6. Just like almost every other popular game, "Minecraft" features Zombies. You can easily find those somewhere else. Why not try a different game instead? Which of these games actually DOESN'T contain zombie figures?

Answer: Luigi's Mansion

Zombies have had an odd second coming (ha) in gaming, just as they have across all media, and a good deal of video games use them as a primary foe. "Ocarina of Time" had zombies in the form of Redeads-- revenant creatures who latched onto Link at nighttime; "Resident evil 2" had undead ghouls all around Raccoon City; and "Dead Rising" faced the player off against zombies in a mall.

While "Luigi's Mansion" doesn't contain zombies it does include a mansion filled to the brim with ghosts. If you have zombie fatigue, I'd suggest that you stay away from "Minecraft". In fact, you don't even need to be tired of zombies...
7. The general basis of "Minecraft" is to...well...mine things; you mine different materials to build and progress in the game. If you're only into the idea of mining, maybe there's something else out there for you. In which of these games could you navigate levels via mine cart?

Answer: Donkey Kong Country

Mine cart levels became a staple of the "Donkey Kong Country" series (including "Donkey Kong 64") for their unabashed recklessness. The player would hop into a cart and careen along an unstoppable track racing through obstacles of all sorts. As the series moved to the Wii and Wii U, Retro Studios resurrected the mine cart level in 2.5D for a new generation of players. To be fair, "Banjo-Tooie" (the sequel to "Banjo-Kazooie") also had a mine cart in Glitter Gulch Mine.
8. One major rule of "Minecraft", from what I've gleaned, is that you never dig straight down. This makes sense...except that you can drop into lava. In this series using Dig to dive straight down underground is actually a benefit in most cases. In which game would you use Dig to attack anyone not in flight?

Answer: Pokemon Blue

Dig is one of few moves to take up more than one turn in battle, particularly because it's a unique defensive move that allows for different tactics beyond simply hitting every round. Using Dig, a ground-type move, your Pokemon will dig into the ground, out of site, on one turn and then emerge on the next, striking the enemy on the way up. This, however, does not work on Pokemon in flight, so Pidgey would not be affected.

The attack can be used in any battle in any part of the game; unlike "Minecraft" there's no real danger of accidentally digging straight down (already a dumb idea) into a pit of molten rock. Why live in such a tumultuous, dangerous world?
9. Why settle for a lazy copy? One of the more popular mobs added to "Minecraft" was Enderman, clearly an homage to the main character of what online-distributed PC game?

Answer: Slender: The Eight Pages

An indie game released in 2012, "Slender: The Eight Pages" allowed players to simply drop into a forested environment to search for...eight pages. Looking through the dark, however, you could find yourself staring at the horrible, faceless Slenderman in the distance, gaining ground. Staring at Slenderman would cause the screen to go fuzzy and your character to become obviously worried until, finally, the stalker would catch up and end the game immediately. The minimalist style of the game was highly praised upon its release.

Slenderman was created on the internet three years before "Slender: The Eight Pages", but Enderman was added into "Minecraft" only a bit before the horror game was released. Nonetheless, you'd want to see the character in its full form, wouldn't you?
10. If you're looking for a game with a large fanbase, you probably already know a lot about 'MineCon'-- "Minecraft's" annual convention. Of course, it's not the only game with its own events. Which game would you likely visit BlizzCon to celebrate (along with tens of thousands of others and, potentially, millions streaming online)?

Answer: World of Warcraft

If what you're looking for is community and networking, sure "Minecraft" brings together people like "Runescape" once did, but very few gaming conventions are bigger in scope and attendance than BlizzCon, an event created by Blizzard Entertainment to showcase news and tournaments related to their "Warcraft", "Starcraft", and "Diablo" series. It usually happens to feature big announcements in key titles (ie. expansions) in addition to costume and cosplay contests, battles, exhibitors, and the like. Not to mention the whole thing is streamed online.

While MineCon first started in 2010, BlizzCon began in 2005 (and takes in over twenty-five thousand participants annually). If you're looking to network, let me tell you...you shouldn't be a blockhead.
