    Smile :) How much NINTENDO do you know? Take the quizzes!

    BEWARE NOT TO READ LOWER POSTS BEFORE TAKING QUIZ: SPOILERS!
    Take this two quizzes: (And be honest, don't cheat and use google etc.)

    Naming all the Nintendo Systems:
    http://www.sporcle.com/games/Billybo...ndoGameSystems

    Naming all the Top Selling Nintendo Games:
    http://www.sporcle.com/games/topnes.php

    You have 4 minutes for the first quiz which I feel is reasonable. Just type the answer in the box and it will show up if on the list it's an answer. The second quiz however is 10 minutes which I feel is WAY TOO much time, I quit the quiz after 3 minutes because I couldn't think of anymore. (to quit the quiz just click "Give Up?" above the "Time Remaining," beware that you can only give up after you 30 seconds into a quiz. Enjoy and post your results!


    My results:
    On the System Quiz:
    I got 13/17 and I'm upset with my results. I should of had 15 though.
    Top Selling Games Quiz:
    I got 9/15 and I'm okay with that. I quit 3 minutes in because I didn't know anymore. It was kinda dumb cause I guessed like 100 NES games that are popular but they weren't there.

    POST YOUR RESULTS. Enjoy.

    I wanted to post this on NintendoAge Forums as well, but they're against the 1st amendment so they disabled my account.

    It's called a Nintendo DS Lite, you weren't spelling it correctly.

    I scored everything except Color TV Game, something I've never even heard of. A Japanese Pong clone perhaps?

    I didn't try the top selling games quiz, I doubt I'd of done very well.

    Edit - I skipped to the answers, I highly doubt something like Golf outsold Metroid. I'm not buying this list.

    I don't care about what you've done on another forum in the least, but you should realize your 1st amendment rights don't provide you with any protection against private acts. Constitutional free speech doesn't apply to a private forum. The forum owners are free to rule how they see fit. You'll find life at a online forum much smoother if you obey the rules they provide and realize the forum owners make the rules.

    Arcade machines missing?

    Oh dear missing Pokemon Mini, what a disaster quiz (maybe they are in the bonus?):


    Half of the answers are Game Boys (and GB light missing).

    Obviously they missed out the Magnavox Odyssey from 1975 (yes, Nintendo officially imported the Odyssey in the mid 70s. OK not quite a Nintendo machine, but it is important to know this)

    >>>>Leo_Ames said: I scored everything except Color TV Game, something I've never even heard of. A Japanese Pong clone perhaps?<<<<

    Yes, four different Pong/Breakout clones (If they list all GB hardware variations, why not seperate the Color TV Game hardware variations in that quiz, as they even have different names (Color TV Game, Computer TV Game)

    I got 15 out of 17 because I am not familiar with the DS versions.

    That was kinda silly. Got 16/17 out of systems and 12/15 games.

    For the systems, TV Color Game was pretty generic. I figured it was their Pong unit. I stopped the quiz with 2 minutes to go. I did the test again and the bonus answers didn't pop up? Huh?

    For the games, don't say NES and put 2 Famicom games in there. The only legitimate one I missed was Duck Tales.

    I got 15/17 systems. Got four of the top selling games before I quit because I had no idea and I really didn't want to put massively popular game after massive popular game just to happen to get lucky. My first four guesses were up there though. Super Mario Bros 1, 2, 3, and Tetris.
    Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.

    I got 16/17 systems, I couldn't get it to accept color tv games, even though I did know this one. It would of been nice if it specified American releases only, I wasted some time entering iQue, gb lite, famicom, etc.

    Not to mention that it was missing the pokemon mini, nes II, and snes II. If gameboy pocket counts, then the nes II should count. These sporkle quizes are never any good, I've done their "name all the game systems ever released" quiz before, needless to say it leaves out many, many systems.

    The bonus answers are the Satellaview, iQue Player, and Super Game boy.

    Really? If the Super Game Boy counts, why not the Game Boy Player for the Game Cube? If the Satellaview counts, why not the N64 DD? And I only "missed" the iQue because it wanted me to enter "iQue Player." Well excuuuuuuuuuse me, Princess!

    We should make a proper list to put on that site.

    I'm probably missing some, but it's still a much better list that on that site.

    14/17 consoles
    10/15 games

    Some on the list surprised me, like Golf and Duck Tales.

    What the hell are the 3 bonus answers anyway?
    EDIT: Nevermind, post late by an instant

    I have an account and could always create the correct quiz and submit it to them for review. If they accept it, it becomes an official quiz. But I'm not sure if it's worth all the work.

    But yea, I never heard of Pokemon Mini before this topic. So I've learned something new. Very neat!

    .
    Nope, two are Pong systems, one's a Breakout unit, the last is a Othello unit (and I missed out the Color TV Racing unit, so there were five actually)

    I got 14/17 of the Systems. I'm still beating myself up for missing Virtual Boy and Game Boy Pocket.

    The games were a bit rougher, I got the top 6 easy enough (and Tetris) but that was it for me. I'm surprized TMNT is on the list but not TMNT-2. I always thought the second was the more well known game.

    On the console quiz, I got all 17 right. It pays to be a former Nintendo fanboy

    However, I only got 6\15 on the best-selling games list, mainly because games I would have never figured where on there (Considering I've never seen a single Dragon Warrior game aside from the first and the seventh, I wouldn't have figured II through IV would have been "best selling")
