i smell a Feature, lol. i don't know much about the subject though.

edit: more time would be nice, maybe a minute or two, and needs some type ins. idk how many tbh, but e.g. "ping pong" for "pong" at least.

nice quiz!

I sucked lol cause I kept typing mario and pokémon instead of the specific games so I gave up. But this is a great quiz.

I could critique the list but it's not yours so won't blame you.

Nominated!

Glad you liked it! Some of the games are a little strange, but they have their reasons. It was actually really interesting reading about the influence these games had.

Could do with some type-in fixes like allowing just "goldeneye", but good quiz otherwise.

Strong agree. I'm smarting a little that "goldeneye," "pokemon," and "flight simulator" got me nothing.

"adventure" as well but that one's a bit on me for not even thinking about trying "colossal cave," as that's an entirely different term, as opposed to just missing part of the name. The others, however: I don't feel like it should be necessary to get the entire name exactly as-is in order to get the point.

Having said that, I get the feeling that this is a philosophical difference between me and the quiz-setter and, well, it's their quiz I suppose. I can always make my own.

Doesn't mean I like it.

It's not a philosophical difference, I just forgot to add the type-ins lol

I made some of the type-ins more lenient so you don't have to type the subtitle, sequel number, etc. for games where that's applicable to (as long as they don't have another game in the series on this list).
