Some images didn't load and in some instances I didn't trust my instincts, so it could have been better.
Also, the more images shown the more one could use the elimination method, since the pool of games used is rather small.

That said it was easy to guess many of them, and only one of them was dickish, as in choose either Game 1 or Game 2 in the same game series.

I've never owned an Amiga. Result: 88 correct.

10-15% of them can easily be found since the title is somehow included in the screenshot. Some, you can eliminate due to the game style versus the proposed titles. I made some genuine mistakes for some of them ( Kickoff vs Kickoff 2, lol ).

Yeah, I pissed misen when I saw the one which said "Predetor" at the top of the screenshot lol.

Still, great little bit of fun for me that. Would love to see more on various systems!

I must admit, my true (humble) score, that is, without process of elimination, would be closer to high sixties or low seventies. I just never was big into platformers or sports, and there were a few adventure titles I wasn't familiar with.

I feel like I knew nothing. There were the ones that were obvious with the title, but there were also the ones like the sports games. Usually those were obvious. Like, its a picture of a basketball game and there's only one basketball game in the list. Or the screenshot for Romantic Encounters at the Dome, which would have been obvious even if I hadn't played it. I probably would have gotten only fifty legitimately.

No need for me to take the test. I only ever played Eye Of The Beholder on the Amiga. I had an Amiga 2000, but a mouse climbed into it, and peed on the motherboard; apparently it was some strong pee.

This one was more interesting than the last, even if it did include alot of console/jap titles. The genesis version of Buck Rogers was an interesting touch, as was offering a Gold Box screenshot and offering four different Gold Box answers (though it wasn't difficult to anyone that mildly scrutinizes it). Minus those I got by elimination (about 10-15) and adding straight up guesses due to image not loading (about 8) my theoretical actual score is between 65 and 76.

As with the other quiz, some images didn't load and using elimination method was a valid tactic.
But too much console games for me to do well.

And I missed the Buck Rogers game, which I thought was strange until I realized it was a console version.

Nicely :) I obviously didn't create the Amiga one, but enjoyed creating this one. Could have easily done a 100 more, so will knock another one up over the next few weeks too.

Good score mate. Best anyone else has had up to yet is 55

Regards the images loading all seemed to work for me, a few were just slow. So I'll be mindful of that from here on. Instead of linking to them I'll try downloading & uploading instead.

Thanks. It could have been impatience on my part, I gave the images a few seconds and guessed if it didn't load quickly. Also, having to identify characters was definitely a great idea. Nice poll, indeed.:incline:

For some reason the quiz refused to load anything after question 20, so I couldn't continue...

Its not just Octavius this time, I had some issues with images too.
My score was 72/100. Had to use my noggin on some of those, so good job. Nice selection of games too, wasn't expecting Midwinter 2. I'd say the sports games were problems, but I think that's just standard for all us dweeby nerds. You could have chosen a better image for Tidus too.
For some reason I feel proud that I confused Skyrim with Horizon: Zero Dawn, a sign of the 'dex wearing on me...if I had ever played either of them...

Got a score of 83, a few I made an error in choosing too fast, but equally many I purely guessed.

Sports games were easy, I really liked them on Amiga.

I can't tell any platformer apart. Horrible creatures, I avoid them whenever I can.
