Excellent! Can't way to see the sequels.

Got 100%. I didn't realise that the 1984 was that old. Having only played it on Game Gear, I though it was released later. Excellent lifetime, it seems!

Glad you liked it! I’ve also made a version for the 1970s, and I’ll definitely be making more of these quizzes in the future!

Nice, loved it. Took me a long time to stop getting the slime one confused with monster hunter. I’d love an expert version, too. Not much Sega love on this one, or turbografx! Anyway, this was great. Thanks!

Ha! I guess I can see how you could get those two mixed up from the description. Monster Hunter’s a classic, but it isn’t that old!

Also yeah, I am a bit biased towards Nintendo. When I make these sorts of general gaming quizzes I make it a point to include other companies as well… but I really just can’t help myself lol
