As some of you may remember, Dire 51 started this quiz at the old board. His new daughter has most likely been keeping him VERY busy lately...so since I like this quiz so much (and have the entire thing on my computer), I'm picking up the ball and running with it.
We'll go 5 questions at a time, starting with these (some of which have already been answered, but I don't care)
1) What was the name of the High Priest of the Hastur Group in El Viento?
2) What was the name of the supercomputer in Sol-Feace?
3) What was the name of the terrorist group in the original Shinobi?
4) What is the serial number of the Axelay Stratafighter?
5) What was the name of the second-in-command of the Chron forces in Target Earth?

You know, I kinda pride myself on my trivia knowledge (at least with regards to videogaming) and I've even played all of these games and I still have no clue. Either I wasn't paying attention to the text on the screen or these answers are in the instruction manuals that I never read!
I'm out of this round.

...a little from column A and a little from column B there, dp.
How about taking a stab at the next 5?
06. What is Jaquio's "other" name (Ninja Gaiden - NES)?
07. Name the hero of Mystic Defender.
08. What was the name of the parapsychologist that disappeared in Splatterhouse?
09. What does MUSHA stand for?
10. Name the alien empire from R-Type.
I answered 2 and 3 before, so I'll leave them for someone else. Of the new ones, the only one I can answer off the top of my head is the easy #10: the Bydo Empire.
