All my video game questions will go here. I will post them as I get them, I will post the ones that I know the answer to as well as ones I need help on. So if you are one of the helpful people, check back here often! Feel free to ask question here also, because even though I am always asking for help, I know quite a bit. The question is What is the last level of the original arcade Frogger?

why did the owner of the first coin up console thought his console was damaged after the first day people could use it?

"why did the owner of the first coin up console thought his console was damaged after the first day people could use it?" I am unclear on what you mean, is a coin up console an arcade, or a home console? About my frogger question, I have a tentaive answer of 20 levels and I high score of 442,330. I am not 100% on this though.

'Coin Op' is short for 'Coin Operated'. I don't think there are any home consoles in which you put money in the cartridge slot :)

1 - because he didn't see where all the money went? 2 - because the controls didn't work (u need to insert a coin, but hey, who needs to read instructions?) 3 - because he didn't know where is the POWER switch haha i think they are all correct

Oh please, that's the most famous arcade success story ever. The Pong machine was literally full of quarters, so people couldn't put quarters in to play.

A read about it in a Reader's Disgest article about Shigeru Miyamoto. Mario was originaly a carpenter. However, Shigeru thought that he looked more like a plumber, so he gave him this environment. I don't know the idea behind mushrooms and flying turtles though .

Because they needed something to separate Jumpman's nose and mouth in Donkey Kong.

I've got some obscure video game questions for you, the best of luck to you in finding the answers to them. Not so coincidentally, all of them relate to Diablo 2! 1) This one is tough but I've asked it before in another forum, and was even kind enough to divulge the answer when no one could figure it out. What is the máximum númber of Stónes of Jórdan you can stóre on a síngle accóunt? 2) What was the name and class of the first hardcore character in the world to hit level 91? 3) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ? 4) What was the original name of the studio that became Blizzard North? 5) How many times did wuscheltom hit levels 95 and 96? 6) What's the highest level Enchant a ladder character can currently achieve? 7) I guess I'll give you a non Diablo question, too :) . What's the highest score possible on Columns on the Sega Genesis?

That stone of jordan is pretty intresting. I don't want to open up diablo and count right now, but tell me if I got all of it. Fill up the chest in town, wear two of them, fill the horodric cube with them, and fill you inventory with them minus the cube. This seems too simple, but I suppose people might forget to subtract 4 for the cube. Am I missing anything? I never actually play diablo on battle.net much so I am not up to date on actual peoples names... "5) How many times did wuscheltom hit levels 95 and 96?" Who? "6) What's the highest level Enchant a ladder character can currently achieve?" Is this question worded right? Enchant?

Blizzard was once named Silicon Synaphsis or something like that. And I might have spelled it wrong ;)

Hooray for Google! Pipes came from Star Trek. "Beam me up, Scotty!" :-) Why he chose pipes is a mystery to me, but I suppose the tele-/transporting qualities are somewhat similar. The items such as mushrooms are inspired by the "Eat me" and "Drink me" stuff in Lewis Caroll's "Alice's adventures in wonderland". Though I think he might've been tripping anyway. :-P Source: http://www.wordiq.com/definition/Mario

I have a few questions that just came in. I really need these answered or WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO ME REPUTATION!? 1. What is the best selling video game so far? I have been thinking about it alot, and I am thinking Starcraft, but thats a total guess. Counter-Strike (PC) maybe? I need help on this one. 2. What is the home city of all of the fighters in street fighter 2 turbo? Here is what I got. Guile (New York) Vega (Madrid) Zangief (Mascow) Balrog (Vegas) Cammy (London) Ryu Ken (USA ??) Chun-li (China ??) Fei-long Hawk (USA ??) Sagat (Thailand ??) Bison (Thailand ??) Blanka (Brazil ??) Dhalsim (India ??) Honda (Japan ??) Dee Jay (Jamaca ??)
