When this game was released for PlayStation in 1996, I spent hours playing it.

Yes, we're going way back to 1981 here and the first in the "Ultima" series of games. Originally released for the Apple II computer, it was, over the next few years also released for the C64 and DOS systems. Sosaria was a land of four continents known as The Lands of Lord British, The Lands of the Dark Unknown, The Lands of the Feudal Lords, and the Lands of Danger and Despair. Without giving too much away, by the end of the game, only The Lands of Lord British remained and took the name Sosaria, later renamed Britannia.

Albion was the base for most of the games in the "Fable" series and is a fertile land bordered on two sides by seas rich in fish. The main city and capital of Albion is Bowerstone, which has two very distinct parts, an affluent northern section, home to Lady Elvira Grey, the Mayor of Bowerstone and a poorer southern section which is where the Bowerstone Quay is located. Bowerstone Quay is the main trading point between the city and its neighbours such as Oakvale.

Answer: Drakan

Drakan has been the site of many battles, but none more fierce than the one between humans and dragons, who waged war on each other for centuries before realising that working together was beneficial to both parties and forming an organisation called The Order of the Flame, which originated in the mountainous area of Drakan. Aside from the mountains, Drakan also contains the Northlands and a tropical continent which can explored by simply hopping onto your dragon and flying.

9. If I were with meat packing plant worker Abe at RuptureFarms and we discovered that the plant owner was planning to use Mudokon slaves as meat, which planet would I be living on?

The Oddworld series began with the 1997 PlayStation game, "Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee" and titles have since been released for many consoles. Oddworld is a very dry planet with no large oceans but hundreds of large craters, some of which house entire cities.

The land itself varies from lush, green forest to icy mountainous regions all of which makes the ultimate quest to defend Oddworld's ecosystem more challenging.
