Win a SGFX and more! - Big PCE & TG-16 quiz (preparation thread)

Tatsujin · 08/02/2011, 12:08 AM

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

a generous donation from our best friend member BlueBMW

thx so much for that

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

YES. What is the most overinflated price on a single game that is not worth more than $45?

MAGICAL CHASE

Here's mine:

Will PCE Daisakusen ever get the long-promised "big update?"

Outlook not so good.

Tatsujin · 08/02/2011, 12:42 AM

Please guys, read the exact procedures first

SuperDeadite · 08/03/2011, 08:11 AM

LOL quite sure that's the one I sent him. Looks like it's been parted out a bit.

Gogan · 08/03/2011, 10:01 AM

This is a great idea! I'll see what can come up with and send ya sum pm's

That it has!

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

. I think I just misplaced it. Hopefully Ill find it!

RR1980 · 08/03/2011, 12:32 PM

I think that pad was mine it was in that Duo lot you got from me

Never heard of that before, but is it even a game per se ?

Depends on how you define a 'game'; it's an educational title to teach kids math. Watch SuperDeadite's video here.

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.

bartre · 08/06/2011, 04:41 AM

i agree, i've been helped quite a bit here.
i don't think i know enough to pose any good questions though.
don't think that will stop me though!

VestCunt · 08/06/2011, 06:11 PM

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.)

soop · 08/08/2011, 11:19 AM

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.

CrackTiger · 08/08/2011, 03:42 PM

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

BlueBMW · 08/08/2011, 03:52 PM

Quote from: guest on 08/08/2011, 03:42 PMSo 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

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.

Tatsujin · 08/09/2011, 04:23 AM

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.

Thank you, o wise King Solomon('s Key).

CrackTiger · 08/09/2011, 03:26 PM

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

BlueBMW · 08/09/2011, 10:21 PM

send one person the core unit, one person the power supply, one the pad, and a last the A/V cable. Let them sort it out!

bartre · 08/09/2011, 11:41 PM

give it to the person who answered first?
when exactly is this starting?

i know that there were only like 5 games for the system, what's worth playing?

urban philosophy · 08/10/2011, 05:58 PM

Here is a great question:

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!

Only one isn't worth playing to most people.

And now this question is disqualified!

Of course, I'm pretty sure that there are other graphic differences as well, such as the text.

urban philosophy · 08/11/2011, 06:31 PM

I got disqualified for sending a question. I am a little slow. can I send the question via this email? I really want that super grafx. Cousin has bone cancer and I want him to have it! I think I have the question of questions. Please let me know before I send it to you!!!

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!

Tatsujin · 08/12/2011, 03:56 AM

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

bartre · 08/20/2011, 03:31 AM

gah, i'm excited!
when's it gonna start!

i want to try my knowledge!

esteban · 12/01/2011, 01:14 AM

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!

I hope it's not over because I still have to confirm something before I send it over to him.

spenoza · 12/12/2011, 02:36 AM

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.

I asked the Mad Hatter for clarification, but all he'd say was 'nevermore'.

blueraven · 12/27/2011, 01:11 AM

What was the official launch date of the PC Engine in Japan? That is a super-important question.

*pmed question tats*

esteban · 12/27/2011, 11:18 AM

OMG. I have to stop talking about my trivia and actually confirm some stuff!

However, I also have to clean up some baby vomit and do the wash. Which of these things will be completed in the next few hours, without fail?

I still haven't had a chance to hook up PCE to TV and play anything.

I have cleaned up a lot of baby poo/vomit.

Tomorrow, I need to clean up house in preparation for guests who are visiting.

PLAN: As babies sleep in morning, I will confirm trivia info (take pic of TV with camera).
