I got 1650. Needed a hint for Gumshoe and Rush 'n Attack, misspelled Ikari Warriors and Ghosts 'n Goblins (actually, I spelled the latter one correctly, it was Capcom that got it wrong) and I overthought the Castlevania one and put in Castlevania 3.
EDIT: Just for curiosity's sake, I went through the quiz again armed with the Awesome Power of Forbidden Knowledge and got a perfect score. Here's the image that comes up in that case:
We had my Dad's Atari something-or-other(I barely remember it). Then we had a 1600(The first system I actually remember playing), then a 2600. We didn't get a NES until 2 years after it was first released, so I go to play on the Atari a little more.
And I got most of the questions just by reading all the hints, since I'd never actually heard of most of the games.
The fact that my first game system was a CoCo 2 computer also came back to haunt me here, since a good portion of the games I had for that were cheap, re-titled clones of classic Atari games and I kept getting the clone titles and actual titles miked up.
It was the first computer I used, and I loved it Those file cabinets smiled a lot...
I remember the night my dad bumped the memory from a meagre 512k, to a powerhouse 1Mb. Not easy to do, a lot of small points had to be carefully soldered up...first time I heard some pretty blue words too
In the spirit of all the video games trivia, I have a small trivia contest for people. I'll give a few questions, and the first to win gets Orange Belt Honor.
1. What game series has a law written in Tokyo stating when it can release games? (Bonus points as to why)
2. What game has actually caused a shortage in currency in Japan?
3. Whom was Mario named after?
4. How was Shigeru Miyamoto credited in the original Legend of Zelda (I think other games too, but I'm not sure), and why? This question may require a tiny bit of Japanese knowledge, I don't know.
5. What is the meaning behind the title "Final Fantasy"?
1. Dragon Quest
2. Space Invaders
3. The landlord of Nintendo of America's warehouse
4. Damn... can't... remember... right on the tip of my tongue...
5. Hironobu Sakaguchi was about to quit, and Square was possibly about to go out of business, so this was to be their last project.
edit: bonus question-- what book by Chris Kohler did you just read?
Anyone else notice the link to the site with the large-breasted, panty flinging cam whores?
Yeah, they're like that. Go back to the list of games and you can play "boobs, butt, or shoulder" versions one and two. Also, some of the YAAFM episodes (under toons, very funny by the way) have porn ads at the end.

I'm pretty sure the answer to #4 is actually "S Miyahon". Presumably it's because the screen couldn't fit the entire phonetic name. That's also how Hirokazu Tanaka was credited as "Hip Tanaka" in the original Metroid and other games he composed when they came stateside.

2000/2000.
That's what I get for owning a Genesis instead of an NES.

1300, but I misspelled Gauntlet. I can't believe Ninja Gaiden was in the impossible round. That cover art will be forever embedded in my mind.
Wrecking Crew and Gyromite are both great games. It's too bad we never figured out how to assemble our R.O.B.. It sits in the attic, waiting....
Haha, I beat your score and I had a Genesis!
*Whistles*
Agreed. However, if this was an N64 quiz....
Of course, that'd be my 200 points, along with Super Mario 64... :rolleyes:
Check it out, Atari:

...then it wouldn't be as good.
I'm just really old.

Who is TEN TEN for 300.
...I don't know why.
