From Quiz Old School Computer Games

Answer: Raiders of the Lost Tomb

Nevada Smith is described in the story to the first episode as being the research assistant to a certain archeology professor, though no mention who that may be. In the first episode of the sequel series, "Arctic Adventure", the name is given as Dr. Jones, strengthening the idea that "Pharaoh's Tomb" and its sequel are based on the then-three "Indiana Jones" movies. This Dr. Jones even hands Nevada a .38 revolver for his next adventure, replacing the spears you use in the first series. Interestingly producer Apogee's hint sheet for "Arctic Adventure" listed Nevada Smith as the student of Indiana Jones. Designed by George Broussard and developed by Micro F/X Software, "Pharaoh's Tomb" was originally published by Lone Star Micro on November 8, 1990 as "Pharaoh's Pursuit" as a single eighty level game. Broussard took the game to Apogee Software (now 3D Realms) where it was released a little over a month after the Lone Star Micro release date as "Pharaoh's Tomb". The Apogee release divided the game into four episodes; "Raiders of the Lost Tomb", "Pharaoh's Curse", "Temple Terror", and the final episode being "Nevada's Revenge". Each episode was twenty levels long. An interesting bit of trivia on "Pharaoh's Tomb", Broussard is noted as being possibly the only video game designer to completely design and program a game on their own and then misspell their own name in the credits. Opening screens read "Program Coding and Design by George Broussad".

From Quiz If It Wasn't For...

Answer: Tic-Tac-Toe

"Bertie the Brain" was exhibited at the 1950 Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto. The machine stood approximately 13 feet tall and displayed the game with a grid of lightbulbs. Despite this, the player's opponent was an artificial intelligence and players entered plays with a keypad that had nine possible choices. The role of "X" was always assigned to the "Computer Brain" and the role of "O" was assigned to the "Human Brain". Where does this game fit into the history of video games? It was unquestionably an electronic game and probably would be considered a computer game in the sense that one played against the computer. Whether it meets all of the requirements of a video game is more debatable, though it seems to meet some of them. (See the conclusion of this quiz for more thoughts. "Bertie the Brain" was designed by Josef Kates (1921-2018) to showcase his newly invented Additron Tube, which was ten times more efficient than the radio tubes that were used in some of the earliest computers. The increasing popularity of transistors (that were more efficient still) limited the use of Additron Tubes for commercial use. In 1952, Christopher Strichey's "OXO" would take the concept one step further and display a game of Tic-Tac-Toe as a visual on a computer screen.

From Quiz World Wide War Games

Answer: Command and Conquer: the Tiberian Series

Westwood Studios developed both "Command and Conquer" series mentioned here, and implied that "Red Alert" would be a sort of prequel to the Tiberian series. When Westwood Studios went bankrupt, Electronic Arts inherited and continued the franchise (but strayed from the initial storyline). In the very first "Command and Conquer" (also known as "Tiberian Dawn"), scientists have picked up a new sort of resource: tiberium ore, which replenishes itself and is easily converted into cash. The United Nations form the Global Defense Initiative, to figure out peaceful applications for this new ore. But a mysterious man named Kane forms the Brotherhood of Nod, a faction that tries to monopolize the tiberium ore and goes for world dominancy. Further instalments were "Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun"; "Command and Conquer: Tiberium Wars"; and "Command and Conquer: Tiberian Twilight". After an expansion pack to "Tiberian Dawn", Westwood released "Command and Conquer: Red Alert", in which the NATO fight the Soviets. Later instalments were "Red Alert 2" and "Red Alert 3". The "Battle for Wesnoth" lets the player pick one of several factions in a medieval fantasy setting: Rebels (mostly elves), Knalgan Alliance (predominantly dwarves), Loyalists (humans, including mages), Northerners (orcs, goblins, and the like), the Undead (zombie-like creatures) and the Drakes (dragon-like creatures). "Scorched 3D" is three-dimensional artillery game.

It has two expansions: "Barbarian Invasion" and "Alexander", although its successor, "Rome II: Total War", generally held less supportive reviews from game critics than its predecessor.

From Quiz Worlds of War

Answer: World of Warcraft

The "Warcraft" franchise began as an RTS (Real-Time Strategy) game in 1994 with "Warcraft: Orcs & Humans", created by Glenn Stafford, Gregory Alper, Rick Jackson, Chris Palmer through Blizzard Entertainment and Interplay Entertainment.

From Quiz You'll Never Play on This Server Again!

Answer: Tabula Rasa

Richard Garriott has been making MMOs and RPGs in general since the early 1980s, mainly in his "Ultima" franchise, and as such he's become a major name in the role-playing genre. Not all of his creations have been hits, however; "Tabula Rasa" was highly anticipated in a time where most MMOs (including "World of Warcraft") were just getting firm footing. When "Tabula Rasa" finally released in 2007, however, after six years of development, it somewhat flopped. NCSoft pushed Garriott (who was in outer space at the time...seriously) out of the project and closed the servers a year and a half later due to dwindling player totals. The game, about aliens and gunfights, and Garriott's departure sparked a lawsuit in which NCSoft was forced to pay the producer for his ousting.

From Quiz PC Video Game History

Answer: Side-scroller

The first "Duke Nukem" was created by Apogee Software back in 1991. One of my favorite memories from this game was the ability to shoot a turkey leg and have it suddenly turn into an entire turkey so that you could get full health. However, if you made the mistake of shooting a coke can, it would destroy it. So... just like in real life!

From Quiz Blizzard Games

Answer: Vespene Gas

Gold and Vespene Gas are collected in a similar fashion in that they both come from a mine. Only one worker can be in the mine at one time, so there is an optimum number of workers to have on any given mine depending on the distance between it and the main building. In "Warcraft III", gold is the primary resource while in "Starcraft" it is the secondary. The wood in "Warcraft III" and the minerals of "Starcraft" also have similar gathering methods.

From Quiz A Walk Through Online Worlds

Answer: Guild Wars 2

The premise of the game is that five Elder Dragons sleeping underground have awakened and seized control of Tyria. Players begin the game by creating a character with a customized biography that is intended to provide a personal story that guides the character's path through the game. The personal story guides the character through a series of instanced chapters in which their life and adventures are explored. Players choose from five main races and eight professions to build their character. The character's race determines which of five cities in Tyria they start from. In the core story, characters ally with one of several major organizations dedicated to fighting the Elder Dragons. The game's website explains that instead of "a traditional questing system," unique dynamic events occur in each area that respond to the player's actions, the outcomes of which have a ripple effect on the environment.

From Quiz If It Wasn't For...

Answer: Checkers/Draughts

Christopher Strichey (1916-1975) first developed the idea for a computer program that could play checkers/draughts in 1951. His first attempt was done on the Pilot ACE (Automatic Computing Engine) (1950) at the National Physical Laboratory in the United Kingdom. The program utilized the full memory of the mainframe at the time. Attempts to play the game in 1951 were unsuccessful because of programming errors. By late 1951, Strichey had gained access to the Manchester Mark 1 computer, which had significantly more memory. Access to a programming handbook for the computer compiled by early computer programmer Alan Turing assisted Strichey. By 1952, the computer could execute the program and play the game at a reasonable rate of speed. The game would be one of the first to display its visuals on an electronic screen, meeting another part of the definition of a video game. The Manchester Mark 1 computer (1948-1949) was located at Victoria University of Manchester in the United Kingdom.

From Quiz Welcome to the Windows App Store

Answer: Master of Mind

There are some free Mastermind type games available. "Master of Mind" is recommended for the age group 3+. Six difficulty levels are determined by the number of pegs to guess (four or five) and the number of available colours. The game is available in single player modus and in dual player modus. Oddly enough, I've found "Master of Mind" at the subcategory Casino Games. The red herrings listed in this question obviously do belong there, but I would be tempted to look for "Master of Mind" in another subcategory - puzzle games, perhaps.

From Quiz World Wide War Games

Answer: Age of Empires

"Age of Empires" was developed by Ensemble Studios, a small game development studio later purchased by Microsoft. In 1997 the first instalment of "Age of Empire" was released, with a dozen nations to pick (from Phoenician to Yamato). In skirmish mode one started out with a few villagers who had to build a town centre, gather food and resources, and train warriors and specialised people. Object was to lead one's faction from the stone age into the iron age, despite possible enemy invasions. The series continued with an expansion pack ("Age of Empires: the Rise of Rome") and two later instalments ("Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings" in a medieval setting, and "Age of Empires III" in a Renaissance/ European exploration setting). Although based upon historical themes, the game could take different paths as real history did - for instance, Egyptians could fight Yamato (Japanese), while in real history these people probably never met. "Computer Bismarck" was a simulation of the last battles of the Bismarck during the Second World War. No Egyptians or Babylonians in sight here. "Stonkers" was a real-time strategy game for the ZX Spectrum only (and has never been released for Windows PC). "Final Fantasy" is a successful series of role playing games.

From Quiz You'll Never Play on This Server Again!

Answer: Uru & Uru Live

Although the best-selling "Myst" series saw great popularity in the 1990s and in its later sequels, rich with then-top-of-the-line graphics, ambient music, and hellishly difficult puzzles, "Myst Online: Uru Live" never picked up steam. Although the game had a fun single-player component, the game never really sustained itself for multiplayer play. The servers closed after one year (in 2008) and, surprisingly, Cyan brought it back as a free-to-play title on new servers in later years (as "Uru: Live Again"). The game was well-praised, but some criticized it for being nothing more than a really pretty chat room. Maybe the puzzles were too hard?

From Quiz Blizzard Games

Answer: Energy

"Diablo II" and "Warcraft III" each use mana to power spells, while the "Starcraft" equivalent is energy. Energy is used by many units in "Starcraft" and used to perform basic abilities such as Lockdown, Psionic Storm, Cloaking (which, when active, slowly depletes the user's energy), and others. Energy, like mana, is slowly replenished over time, and many units can have their total energy reserves boosted.

From Quiz Old School Computer Games

Answer: Battle Chess

It's only supposition that J.K. Rowling could have heard of, or even played, "Battle Chess", but the game does have some similarities to wizard's chess. In 3D mode, when they player selects a piece and where they want it to move, the piece comes to life with its own animations. Queens sashay across the board. Pawns will jog from square to square. Rooks/Castles transform into troll-like monsters and stomp their way to their destination. Each piece has their own unique way of capturing certain pieces, the piece being captured dictating what animation is used. For instance rooks/castles will simply squash pawns, but queens they eat when they capture them. "Battle Chess" was originally released in 1988.
