Quiz: Gaming nerd or newbie? - BBC Newsbeat

 

How good / bad are you? I only got 9 right - pant$....

 

Embarrasing, as I guess the quiz is aimed at ankle-biters...

14/15. Wouldn't describe the majority of examples as stand out games for describing someone as a gaming nerd, but then again I'm getting old and I'm fairly sure Goldeneye was quite recent.

13/15....star craft and world of warcraft were the only 2 I got wrong.

Solid snake

You scored 11 out of 15

12/15 with a couple of guesses. The ones I got wrong were 50/50 picks also. Championship Manager vs Football Manager, or C&C 4 vs Starcraft - like I'd know the difference!

12 which was weird as I haven't even played most of those games?!

13/15

I got 14/15 - annoyingly I thought one was a trick question when it wasn't (the font made me think it was something else). Another I was unsure of at first, then noticed the publisher's name in the bottom right corner

[tech_guy]

There weren't enough classic games in there for me like Elite, Wolfenstein, Doom, Monkey Island, Alone in the Dark, etc. That's my excuse anyway and I'm sticking to it.

 

It was the footy games I barfed on. Hate football - it's bad enough in real life let alone realised as a computer game

14/15 wasn't sure if was pes or fifa....

[synaesthesia]

Here here! Proper games. Wouldn't mind some Montezuma, Boulderdash and Jet Set Willy to top those off!

13 / 15

 

I got the football ones wrong.

 

And I only got CoD right because it says "Activision".

I agree actually - most of those games anyone with a passing interest in gaming could have guessed, hardly need to be a "game nerd" to score highly

14/15

 

I got the driving one wrong, said Forza instead of NFS.

[tech_guy]

And do you know what I think was the most underrated game ever - Bioforge?

 

Brilliant game. I had to upgrade my then PC to 8MB RAM to play it.

15/15, pretty bad quiz though, just guess the screenshot.

Jet Set Willy.... (goes all misty-eyed)

I got 12 out of 15, few of the games I haven't actually played, like Red Dead Redemption, Metal Gear Solid 2 and Smash Bros, but they weren't difficult to figure out knowing what I do about games, so I got those right. I didn't get the CoD/Battlefield, Fifa/PES, GTA or Football Manager questions right as they're just not the kind of games I'm into, but judging by my score I must have correctly guessed some of them lol Edited December 12, 2014 by Garacesh

[Jowley]

14/15 PES or Fifa caught me out
