The Music/Picture Quiz Winter Wonderland Special - It's finally all over! - The Bear and Badger

JonB

Better repeat that, since we're due a page turn.

The final part.

The games are still mostly quite well known (well, you should have heard of them at least), although there are a few obscure ones. I've tried to leave a bit more of the pictures in some. 3 bonuses this time.

hylian_elf

Watched vid with sound off as kids are asleep. Only recognised about 3 pictures!!!

JonB

Well, it is supposed to be hard.

adkm1979

How much is it to activate a copy of avs4you?

JonB

Too much, clearly.

I would just use Movie Maker instead, but for some reason it won't run on my laptop.

Anyway, a better response to this quiz so far. I assume the pictures are helping more than in the previous one. Most of the games have been guessed by at least one person.

Moot_Geeza

How long do we have before the clues? I want to have a good sit down with it before the points are halved, might be tonight, might be tomorrow.

hylian_elf

Number 3 and 8 really bugging me.

Sunday, I guess.

JonB

I'll do some clues in a bit then. Last chance to get proper points.

hylian_elf

I'm stuck on the ones I haven't got so clues will be welcome!

adkm1979

I'm in the same tautological boat, but I doubt the clues will help.

JonB

OK then:

Spoiler:

JonB

Now, in terms of the scores for @hylian_elf and @Moot_Geeza

Moot has already won this one, with 30 points, and only has 1 left to get.
Elf has 26 and has 3 left to get.

In terms of the overall score for all 3 rounds, then, Moot is ahead by 2 points (73 to 71).
So in other words, if Moot and Elf both get the remaining ones from the clues it'll be a draw, and we'll need some kind of sudden death round...

Moot_Geeza

Flappy bum time.

hylian_elf

If 1 turns out to be what I always thought it might be, I will kill myself.

hylian_elf

It is. Excuse me while I go kill myself.

Moot_Geeza

I enjoyed the sudden death round.

Moot_Geeza

Seriously though, look how well we've done at this quiz Elf. HIGH FIVE.

hylian_elf

If 2 is what I thought it was, I will resurrect myself (yes, I can do that) just so I can kill myself again.

hylian_elf

It is.

I shall now resurrect myself and DIE!!!!

hylian_elf

Only number 8 to go.....

Moot_Geeza

It's not Outrun.

Not over yet. I'll high five you if I win.

JonB

So yeah, it's 74 to 73 at the moment, with elf having one left to get.

The illusive no. 8...

adkm1979

Are you guys doing this purely on the knowledge in your head?

hylian_elf

Mostly. I've not played all these games, but the pictures look familiar and then I look them up.

hylian_elf

I'm still stuck on 8, but I'm not gonna conced just yet!!!

Nope. Some, obviously, but with the visual clues I find you can narrow down the console/genre (then knowledge re-enters the fray, obv), adding factors such as whether Jon thinks it's easy-hard, and the style of music, which can also help identify the genre. Sometimes I can spot the console from the sound chip (no.5 here), or there's something tiny in the image to focus on (what detective Somerset would describe as 'the one thing' in the film Seven).

Example - the HUD on No.10 on this quiz looked a bit like the one in Actraiser, so I Googled SNES Enix games and spotted a correct looking HUD when I scrolled down the images. Got lucky there. Could be construed as cheating but haters gonna hate. Perspicacity.

adkm1979

I now feel a bit better.

hylian_elf

I got no 10 instantly, but you'd expect that from a big fan of the SNES Quintet games.

I've checked a list of games published by MS from 2008, still can't get number 8.

Howdy, Stranger!
