Title: Win a SGFX and more! - Big PCE & TG-16 quiz (preparation thread)
Post by: Tatsujin on August 01, 2011, 05:08:42 PM
OK, here it comes guys :)
I would like to start a PC Engine/TG-16 quiz (simple question simple answer concept), and the funny thing here is, that the quiz is not made by myself alone, but by you guys. This means each of you will send me ONE question plus the correct answer to it per PM. Crazy questions are welcomed, as long they are accurate. you can send me more than one question, but only one per user will be used in the end.
I then will collect all questions and put them together into one quiz which I will post in here later on.
It will need about 30 Q&A at least. More would be more than welcomed.
PS: I need absolut correct answers to your questions, because I will not be able to proof check everything by myself. So if you do not know the absolut correct answer to your own question, plz do not bother me :)
The "wiener" of this quiz will get a present from me :)
So do you guys think you can handle this?
Thank you very much for your attention and cooporation.
BIG UPDATE:
ok, just as an update as of what could be won as a 1st price. it's a..

yeah right there :D
a generous donation from our best friend member BlueBMW :D
thx so much for that :clap: :clap: :clap:
to keep up the motivation, there will be still a 2nd and 3rd place as well :)
now we have to get those 30 Q&A together. and remember, to keep up the fairness, only one Q&A per member will be used. still you can send me more than one. but only one will be used at the end.
so frankly spoken, for those wo help with the quiz will have already one question answered :D
YES. What is the most overinflated price on a single game that is not worth more than $45?
MAGICAL CHASE
What about truly rare stuff like Akiyamajin?

Mathius got the expansion covers... sparky got the ac adapter (in exchange for a generic one) and im not exactly sure what happened with the pad :-k. I think I just misplaced it. Hopefully Ill find it!

Thanks again Byron for those port covers. My SGX thanks you too. :)
I gotta say that I have never been a part of a better community of people since I joined the retro gaming scene. With guys like Chany, BlueBMW, Tats, T-Fan, Turbostar, the list goes on, makes THIS particular sector stand out among the crowd. Bravo you guys! ...Now if I could just think of a good question.

Hopefully we'll have a wide range of subjects, ranging from:
*game specific - characters, bosses, and plot events learned from playing games, not reveled in the manual. *publisher/developer/individual game credits *historical - release dates, infamous reviews/advertising, magazine awards, insider info from interviews *system specs *technical repair/mod questions *collector trivia - prototypes, rare peripherals, completeness info (stickers, posters, turbo schwag, etc.)

Ok, I'll think of a question then.
I'd rather see the Super G go to someone who doesn't have one though, so if I enter the quiz and win (unlikely) I'd prefer to defer the (excellent) prize.
Can you PM me or something with date/times? Used to pop over here every day but not so much recently.

I may play just because I know a fella on here that is in need of some SGX goodness. :)

So what happens if several people ace the quiz? Some sort of lightning round?

Good question, though I suspect it might not be so easy. I know the question I sent in wasnt exactly general knowledge. You'd have to dig for the answer. IF others' questions are as hard or harder, then it should be a good challenge :D
Worst case, we do a lightning round (maybe via skype?! that'd be fun!) or just put the names in a hat(ris) and pull a winner.

Ok got some more question to evaluate, but still not near enough to call it a funny quiz. i will evaluate the questions and let you know of how much we still need. may be I will set the limit down to 20 then.
thanks to all the peeps so far for the help :)
btw. I case we will have more than one 1st winner, I sugesst to fractionize the sgfx in the amount of pieces as many 1st winners we have. plain and simple.

I'd rather give up my share of the SuperGrafx than see it fractioned off.

What is the graphic difference between Exile: Wicked Phenomena USA version and the Japanese version
The USA version has parallax scrolling in some levels but the Japanese version has none!
And now this question is disqualified! :clap: :P
Of course, I'm pretty sure that there are other graphic differences as well, such as the text. :wink:

Just PM Tatsujin your question. If it is a good one I am sure he will post it. :) Tatsujin was the creator of this thread and is the first poster back on page 1. Good luck!

Everybody will be able to participate after the quiz went official :)
At the moment I am still collecting Q&As. So far only I have collected about 10 Q&A which actually can be used. So at least 10 more to go :)

I love this idea (fielding trivia questions from the community)!
I will have to send a PM to TATS in the next day or two :)
So, don't close the submissions yet!

Tats, I'll be sending you a question here soon. Unless this thread is over already :D
I hope it's not over because I still have to confirm something before I send it over to him. :)

Is this a first to answer takes the prize, or all winners go into a drawing? The former is, in some ways, easier for the folks holding the contest, but the latter is a bit more fair to folks with difficult schedules.
