(1) The character class that is not available in the Team Fortess Classic mod for Half-Life is the CYBORG. Most people got this one right but quite a few believed it was Pyro.
(2) The upcoming game Homeworld will be a REAL-TIME STRATEGY GAME.
(3) The game that has such a wide variety of weapons such as uzis, banana bombs, and sheep can only be WORMS ARMAGEDDON.
(4) The French company that gobbled up U.K. developer/publisher Gremlin, Accolade and Melbourne House for 4.5 million is INFOGRAMES.
(5) Even though Clouds of Xeen and Darkside of Xeen combined to create a larger game called Worlds of Xeen, Might and Magic VI and Might and Magic VII cannot be combined. Therefore the answer is FALSE.
(6) The first person shooter game "Kingpin" uses the QUAKE 2 ENGINE.
(7) Star Wars- The Phantom Menace allows you to play as several characters. However, even though he is featured in the game, JAR JAR BINKS cannot be controlled by the player. [I would have enjoyed playing him...so I could find ways to kill him off! :)] Most people thought the answer was Queen Amidia.
(8) The Star Trek game that will make use of the Quake 3 engine is STAR TREK VOYAGER- ELITE FORCE. In fact, this will be the first game even to use the technology other than Quake 3 of course.
(9) MRM technology and skeletal animation is being adapted into TEAM FORTRESS 2. Early screenshots and movies for this game show that these technologies can be very impressive visually.
(10) Sci-Fi Pinball has tables for: The Fly, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Aliens and Predator. So the correct answer is STAR TREK AND INDEPENDENCE DAY. Most People picked Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
(11) The one game that was not created by Head Games was EXTREME ROLLER BLADING. It's probably in the works however. :)
(12)PYRO STUDIOS, EIDOS INTERACTIVE is the Developer/Publisher for the game Commandoes: Beyond the Call of Duty.
(13) The tactical-action commando game Hidden and Dangerous takes place in WWII. Most people either picked Vietnam, or during the Gulf War.
(14) The Maxis series has been around forever for the PC platform, but the one game that has not been "sim"ulated is SIMMOON.
(15) The actor who reprised his role in the game Top Gun-Hornet's Nest was JAMES TOLKAN. Most people thought it was either Val Kilmer or Tom Cruise.
(16) This was kind of a trick question. I gave the answer away right in the question. I said that Thunder Brigade uses Voxel Technology which does not support glide or direct 3d acceleration. However, I also went on to say that it was criticized for its overuse of colorful lighting. Some people got caught thinking that lighting effects automatically meant accelerated graphics. So the answer was NO.
(17) The only character that cannot be used from the list given is GYM TEACHER BUZZCUT.
(18) It's true that Alpha Centauri is the true sequel to Civilization II (both were made by Sid Meier) but it's incorrect to say that the planet being colonized is the moon. So the answer would be false.
(19) MEGADETH will be the group which will do the theme song for the upcoming game Duke Nukem Forever. Can you imagine playing Duke Nukem with the music from the Backstreet Boys blaring in the background! SCCAARRRYYY!
(20) The ORC was the only character race which could not be chosen in the game Everquest. The races of Norrath are Human, Barbarian, Erudite, Wood Elf, High Elf, Dark Elf, Half Elf, Dwarf, Troll, Ogre, Halfling and Gnome.
(21) Another trick question. The Origin series that has proven to be a cash cow for the company is the ULTIMA SERIES. Most people picked the Deer Hunter series, but origin doesn't even publish that game. The clue was "per month", since Ultima Online is the only series that has a monthly charge rate.
(22) The original Sim City can be played online for free. So the answer would be TRUE.
(23) Bruce Shelley is the designer of Age of Empires 2. In case your wondering, Paul Grace is involved with Janes Combat Simulations, Sid Meier with Alpha Centauri, John Romero with Daikaitana, Greg Fulton with Homm3, and Chris Roberts with the Wing Commander I-IV.
(24) Man of War II is a NAVAL SIMULATION. Most people got this one right.
(25) You can have FOUR characters in your Might and Magic 7 party. Some people chose over four, but the question clearly stated that you cannot count non-player characters.
(26) Talonsoft's Battle of Britain can be best described as a WARGAME. This one was kinda tricky. Most people thought from its title that it was an air combat sim.
(27) Yataka Saito made both Yoot Tower and Sim Tower. Though both these games were created years apart from each other, I can't see a difference between the two! :P The answer is TRUE.
(28) The picture is from the game Heavy Gear 2. Most people thought it was Starseige.
(29) SAGA was the answer for the second screenshot. Most people thought it was Settlers 3.
(30) The final screenshot was GUARDIANS OF DARKNESS Most people thought it was Dark Vengeance.
(Bonus) The plane that Mav and Goose "greet" at the beginning of the movie Top Gun was a MIG-28. Only 3 people got this one right. This question was pretty hard because there is no such thing as a Mig-28. It is the only fictional plane in the list. Most people were confused with the term "greet" in the question and assumed that Mav and Goose met an American plane (F-16, F-14, F18). However if you look at the below picture, it shows Mav and Goose flipping the bird (or greeting) the enemy Mig. I knew the question was a hard one, but I was surprised that most people didn't just check the Topgun movie page that is attached to this site. Oh well. ;)
