Its the end of the semester - which naturally means finding any way possible to distract yourself from studying for finals. Sporcle.com is generally my distraction of choice - so I decided to play some of the video games related quizzes. Below are a few of the good ones - try them out to see how well you really know video games!

I just played this and I got 21/30. I am shocked because I can honestly say I have not played half the games on there but I still knew what the games were based on the screenshots. I almost had Sim City 2000 (forgot the 2000) and Resident Evil 2 (forgot the two). I still recognized what the game was, just not which version. I don't know what to make of it other than I'm more of a video game nerd than I expected but growing up I must have been surrounded by enough video game culture to recognize something I've never played like Final Fantasy and still guess it was VII. Crazy stuff. I guess video games were more present in my life than I remember. NBA Jam is still one of my favorite games though. I'll never get tired of that.
ReplyDeleteI got destroyed by these, wow. I need to brush up on some of my older games. I got carried away though and came across this one.

A lot of these surprised me, but I got almost half. Good enough I guess.
