(1) The full name of the next game from the makers of Quake is QUAKE 3:ARENA. Many people were fooled by this question as originally the name was tentatively set at Quake III:Trinity..
(2) This was another tricky one. The Duke Nukem Forever engine was first announced to use the Quake 2 engine. However the designers subsequently switched to the UNREAL ENGINE.
(3) Get Medievel is based on the old coin op classic GAUNTLET.
(4) Midway's first entry into the 3D fighting field was WAR GODS. Many people picked Mortal Kombat III but this was actually there second game to use a 3D engine as opposed to the 2D engines of Mortal Kombat 1 and 2.
(5) Ares Rising can best be described as a WING COMMANDER CLONE.
(6) PLANE CRAZY did not use voxel technology.
(7) Redline Racer was a racing game featuring MOTOR BIKES.
(8) Westwood Studios signed MICHAEL BIEHN AND JAMES EARL JONES to play characters in their upcoming title Command and Conqueor:Tiberium Sun
(9) FALSE Motocross Madness and Motoracer both feature dirt bikes however both are made by two different companies. Motocross Madness is published by Microsoft and Motoracer is published by Electronic Arts.
(10) This was another tough one especially if you are not a hockey fan. The key to the question is "color commentary" not the play by play. A lot of people were fooled by this and picked Jim Hussein. The correct answer was DARYL REIGH.
(11) Thief: the Dark Project is a FIRST PERSON SHOOTER. One could make the case that it really doesn't fit into this genre because unlike normal first person shooters, stealth is more important than blasting everything on the screen. However the game is played in the first person and is closer to describing it then any of the other choices.
(12) This was another tough one. Heretic II DOES use the Quake II engine and is made by Raven software. However it is not a first person shooter like the original Heretic. The designers decided to make it 3rd person. So the answer is FALSE.
(13) SIERRA paid $122.5 million to acquire Westwood Studios, Virgin's U.S. development studio and a fistful of external projects from Virgin.
(14) Not many people got this right. In the game Rainbow Six by Redstorm, your commandoes cannot CRAWL AND JUMP.
(15) While the graphics in Deer Hunter II were much improved from its predecessor, it still does not use the Unreal engine as most people had thought. The correct answer is TNN OUTDOOR PRO HUNTER.
(16) TRUE Beleive it or not, the upcoming South Park game will be a first person shooter. (I would prefer an adventure game myself but that is beside the point ;p).
(17) Even though Half-Life reigns supreme in the first person shooter wars, its physics engine pales in comparison to TRESPASSER. Though admittedly this technology is not perfect since I don't think it is realistic to see a brontosaurus jumping up and down like a small poodle but then again that's just me I guess :).
(18) Surprisingly most people got this answer wrong. Links LS 99 features ARNOLD PALMER in the game. Most people must have been confused with Tiger Woods 99 by EA Sports since many people picked Tiger Woods.
(19) Heroes of Might and Magic III will not feature PEASANTS AND GHOSTS. (This was a hard one. Ghosts were found to unbalance the game when they were allowed to be recruited by the player in the Heroes of Might and Magic II Expansion Pack.
(20) Oddworld: Abe's Exodus is a SIDE SCROLLER PLATFORM GAME.
(21) WARLORDS III is not a squad based tactical game.
(22) Most people got this one right. The developer and publisher of Klingon Honor Guard was MICROPROSE/HASBRO INTERACTIVE.
(23) TRUE You can download Wing Commander Secret Ops free off of the internet from Origin. This is not a pirate version or anything. Origin decided to reward its faithful fans by providing them with the free game and new levels each week.
(24) Xwing Alliance will allow the player to fly a variety of spaceships. One which you will not be able to fly will be the Z-WING which btw first appeared in LucasArts Rogue Squadron. Most people picked either the Corellian transports or the Millenium Falcon.
(25) Blizzard will not feature the ARCHER in its upcoming game Diablo II.
(26) Commandoes: Behind Enemy Lines is set in WORLD WAR II. A popular answer for this question was Vietnam.
(27) There are two games listed that lets you play both the bad guys and the cops. These are SWAT II and NEED FOR SPEED III. Most people guessed one or the other but very few picked both games.
(28) The first screenshot was CARNIVORES. Most people thought it was Trespasser.
(29) The second screenshot was SETTLERS III. Most people thought it was Populous III or Knights and Merchants.
(30) Finally the third screenshot was UPRISING II. Most people thought it was Battlezone or Return Fire II.
(BONUS) The pilot who turned in his wings at the beginning of the movie Top Gun was COUGAR. Not many people got the bonus question. The most popular answer was "Goose".
