http://8bitgamer.idiotworld.com/ I got 14 out of the 16 correctly. A friend knew one of the answers I didn't know. But I still don't know 1 of them. Don't post answers here please, the quiz is relatively easy. tip: on one of the images I knew the game but it didn't work until I typed the full title

I got 12. Problems with #4 (Zelda 2, eh?), #10 (no idea, though I know it has been TASed), #12 (no idea, though I know it has been TASed), #15 (not pinball, not ice climber, eh?).

Well my first consoles were Gameboy, Gamecube and so on, so I'm pretty clueless^^ I got 5 right.

I recognize many of the characters from seeing them in TASes, but for most of them I can't remember the name of the game they were in...

I got 11. I know what the R with wings is from, just can't remember it at the moment. Same goes for the blue cyclops. No idea on the umbrella, or mutant Bub-looking thing. I have a feeling I should know what the fat king is from, but I can't place it... Edit: oh hey, I'm a vested member, now. :o

Going by his comment on '#4', no, he means the one above that.

You recognize the blue cyclops from Sevenmotion/Virtualalex's avatar on the forums.

Ah, you are correct. May not even be from a game I've played then. :x

Incidentally I can only get 8. And two of those were found via google. One of the google game name finds was on that blue cyclops thing, though.

I don't understand how can you use google to find the answers. Isn't it easier to type the search term in the answer field?

the test doesn't accept "NES eggplant" as a valid answer for any of the pictures.

Well, 7 legit, and 9 cheating with the use of the NES published page and comparing sprite styles.

Thanks to Upthorn, I have 12. Turns out my initial guess was right for the cyclops, I just misspelled it like an idiot.

I knew only half of them (8), but I looked for the answers of the others I missed :P Out of the list, I haven't played game #8, 9 & 12. I guess that would mean I should had gotten 13 answers right :( Anyone knows where in the game does sprite #16 appears? I don't remember it at all...

Yeah, it's from the best-selling Nintendo game of all-time. Edit: oh, where IN the game. It was one of the transformed kings, world 6, was it? I forget...

I know which game is from, but not where it appears. (I guess it needs a spoiler to answer my question...)

humm I can't find the umbrella one even with google! And I can't believe it's pictured on one of the published games page, so I'm assuming stickyman05 got it legitimately? Bisqwit, I think you did get #15 right then, maybe retype it.

15/16 first try. The one that gave me trouble was 16 (although I got that one with Jupi's hint, so now perfect score!).

Ah, yeah, I suppose these were really actually #3, #9, #11 and #16, since Mario doesn't count. Random off-by-ones!

I got 8 right first, then read the forum and got and , then after some more thinking I got everything except these: I think I've seen the umbrella somewhere before, but I can't remember where.

it shows hehe, it's NES :) I looked for the answer to the umbrella one, and it's from a game I've never played and actually dislike, so I'm satisfied.
