VG ...in Common Trivia

61. There's a bridge down Highway 17 that needs to be crossed several times in what Valve PC game?

From Quiz Bridges in Video Games

Answer: Half-Life 2

At about the half-way point of "Half-Life 2", the bridge on Highway 17 is a spot that needs to be traversed a least a handful of times. Following the more tense Ravenholm sequence (head-crabs!), Highway 17 involves a bit more unique maneuvering (on the girders beneath). The tension mounts a bit more when you have to dodge more headcrabs, some zombies, and-- oh yeah-- a gunship, but it's all par for the course. Things are only going to get a bit more complicated as you go.

From Quiz Oh. What Fun...

Answer: The Legend of Zelda

Both of these games (along with a game in the Mario series named "Hotel Mario") were created as a joint venture between Phillips and Nintendo for the short-lived CD-i console, and egads were they not popular. When the console was released, it was poorly-received both because of its less-than-stellar technical capabilities and its lack of games. It didn't help that the "Legend of Zelda" and "Mario" games were unlike any seen before, and coupled with their poor controls and quality, they became the notorious black sheep of the series.

From Quiz I Am Fire

Answer: Ocarina of Time

There are quite a few games in this popular series, most of which feature Link as the protagonist who regularly has to rescue Princess Zelda from the evil Ganon (also known as Ganondorf). Another common element is the Triforce, a sacred object made from three golden triangles. These smaller triangles are also called Triforces: one is the Triforce of Power, one of Wisdom, and one of Courage. Assembling all three of them into a large Triforce gives the player greatly increased powers. In 'Ocarina of Time', Ganondorf has the Triforce of Power, Zelda the Triforce of Wisdom, and Link the Triforce of Courage.

From Quiz I'll Have Another

Answer: Final Fantasy

Originally the series was named "Final Fantasy" as it was the last ditch effort of a failing video game company. Squaresoft has such a hit on its hands that it spawned one of the most sold series in history. The series has branched out into movies, books and toys as well.

From Quiz And Then You Open The Door

Answer: Crystal Star

The Magical Map was purchased by Princess Peach in Rogueport and sent to Mario before she was kidnapped by the X-Nauts. Each time Mario approaches the Thousand-Year Door with the map and a Crystal Star, the location of the next Crystal Star will be revealed. The door will not open until all of the Crystal Stars have been found. Legend says that treasure lies behind the Thousand-Year Door, but what Mario finds instead is the entrance to the Palace of Shadow. "Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door" was released in 2004 by Nintendo for the GameCube.

From Quiz A New Leaf

Answer: Tales of Symphonia

"Tales of Symphonia", released on the Gamecube and Playstation 2, was a popular entry in the much-acclaimed "Tales..." series of non-turn-based RPGs by Namco Bandai. First released in 2003, the game was critically praised for its combat system and story, both staples in later sequels. A proper sequel, "Dawn of the New World", was released on the Wii U in 2008. The World Tree, also known as the Giant Kharlan Tree, is a major focal point of the story because its destruction would end both worlds. Lloyd Irving and company set out to destroy Mithos Yggdrasill and Cruxis, who plan to destroy the Great Seed.

From Quiz Reticulating Splines

Answer: Helicopter

A 3D game, "SimCopter" allows the player to pilot a helicopter through a 3D city, and maps of this city correspond to those of the game "SimCity 2000". The helicopter pilot can work in several jobs, like rescuer, criminal catcher or directing traffic. "SimCopter" was exclusively released for PCs.

From Quiz Crafts That Don't Involve Mines

Answer: Heavy Rain

"Heavy Rain", created by Quantic Dream was highly-praised for its story and visuals and brought a true mystery of blockbuster caliber to the medium. In the game you take on the role of several different player characters, all with ties to the infamous Origami Killer, known for drowning his victims and leaving an origami figure in their hands; said origami figure appears on several promotional pieces for the game as well as the cover in several regions. Rather than being combat-heavy, the game relied more on story-telling and quick-time events to move the story along.

From Quiz Get Your Head in the Game

Answer: Star Fox 64

Planet Venom is the final stage of "Star Fox 64", and depending on how you get there you'll fight one of two forms of the evil Andross. The first, arriving via the Planet Bolse, will allow you to fight a fake version of Andross while the second, arriving from Area 6, allows you to fight Andross' head and, eventually, his brain. Andross' head also appeared in previous iterations of the game, ultimately becoming an assist trophy in "Super Smash Bros. Brawl" (Wii).

From Quiz It's always Easter in video games!

Answer: A sea bunny

If you go to three remote islands in the right order, a gigantic bunny rises out of the water. After staring in awe, you can choose to shoot it down into the sea.

From Quiz Legends of Legends of Legends...

Answer: Legend of the Seven Stars

"Super Mario RPG: The Legend of the Seven Stars" was released in 1996, a short time before the Nintendo 64, and paved the way for the 3D-rendered "Mario" games of the next generations. One of the earliest RPGs in the canon, "The Legend of the Seven Stars" was a turn-based game and was considered by many to be one of the leaders in the genre on the SNES. Square would find further fame pairing up with Enix to make "Final Fantasy" and "Kingdom Hearts" titles and Mario wouldn't be in another RPG until "Paper Mario" on the N64. In "Super Mario RPG", Mario, Princess Toadstool, Bowser, and others must restore the Star Road by collecting-- get this-- seven stars.

From Quiz Space Races, Chases, and Faces in Gaming

Answer: Star Fox 64

Although all of these games did appear on the Nintendo 64 and most, to an extent, featured space in some way, shape or form, "Star Fox 64" ended with Star Fox and Co. in their Arwings, facing off against the evil Andross (or, at least, his head and hands) on the planet Venom. "Star Fox 64", of course, was the reboot for the earlier "Star Fox" game seen on the SNES. Fox has since become a famous face for the Nintendo family, later appearing in the "Super Smash Bros." series. He appeared in further flight games and a few platformers on later consoles.

From Quiz Playing With Fire

Answer: Generation III

While the original Game Boy 'Pokemon' games were played in black and white, the 'FireRed' and 'LeafGreen' remakes reimagined the region of Kanto using Generation III's Game Boy Advance assets, injecting a much-needed dose of colour. The mechanics stayed pretty much the same (then again, they haven't really changed drastically through the series) but opened up the ability for Generation I Pokemon to be added to 'Ruby' and 'Sapphire' Pokedexes via 'Emerald'. 'FireRed' and 'LeafGreen' paved the way for more remade games - Generation IV on the Nintendo DS saw the Game Boy Color games 'Gold' and 'Silver' get an updated look for 'HeartGold' and 'SoulSilver', respectively.

From Quiz Strength in Numbers

Answer: The Wonderful 101

From the creators of "MadWorld", "Okami", and "Bayonetta", "The Wonderful 101" was a highly-anticipated third-party game for the Wii U, combining the interesting action of superhero games with the complexity of a strategy game. In this title, the player could control a mob of people containing superheroes who, when transformed, could be used to combine powers and fend off the evil aliens of GEATHJERK and the CENTINELS. The game ended up being well-received as one of the earliest major exclusives on the then-struggling console.

From Quiz Invincible

Answer: An exclamation mark

The Invincibility Barrel can come in handy for DK or Diddy (or Dixie...or Kiddy) depending on the situation and, in some cases, it's necessary to make use of the game mechanic to advance through some of the side-scrolling levels alive. The Invincibility Barrel also appears to an extent in "Donkey Kong 64", but it can only be used by DK and only after he learns the Strong Kong ability from Cranky later in the game. This barrel does not feature the exclamation point, however; instead it features DK's face. The Star Barrel, while more common, is used as a checkpoint in levels in the series.

From Quiz You'll Never Finish Alive!

Answer: The Lost Levels

While "The Lost Levels" was technically the second "Super Mario Bros." game in Japan (released in 1986), it never saw the light of day as an NES title in North America due to fears that it would deter people from the already-popular side-scrolling franchise. Aside from introducing poisonous mushrooms and bringing fish out of water (and Goombas into water), the game is basically a ramped-up version of the original "Super Mario Bros.", virtually continuing with the same story (Princess Toadstool. Bowser. Capturing. You know...) but increasing the difficulty through level design. It finally saw the light of day in North America as part of "Super Mario All-Stars" on the SNES, released seven years later. Despite this it was the best-selling Famicom game ever sold in Japan.

From Quiz Chasing It Down

Answer: OrangSprint

In "Donkey Kong 64", all five playable Kong members are able to unlock new abilities throughout the game by speaking to Cranky Kong in his lab. By taking a tonic, they receive new powers; Lanky's first is the OrangStand, allowing him to walk on his hands when the player hits Z and B. The third is the OrangSprint which only works when Lanky enters a barrel bearing his face. When Lanky reaches a point in the game's fifth stage, Fungi Forest, he'll need to use this last ability to beat a speedy jackrabbit. Trust me-- it's not the easiest race. As always, completion of the task results in another banana returned to the Kong stash. Only two hundred more to go!

From Quiz Gimme More

Answer: The Sims

"The Sims" is a franchise based off the popular "SimCity" games. The first game was released in 2000 for the PC, which had sold more than 2 million copies by 2002. The next direct sequel, "The Sims 2", was released in 2004. Although mostly based around the PC, the games have been released for other platforms such as the XBox and XBox 360, the PS2 and 3, the GameCube etc. Other spin-off series' have also been released, such as "The Sims Medieval", "The Sims Online" and "The Sims Social", as well as numerous expansion packs for the various games. The other games are also life-simulation games.

From Quiz Starships

Answer: Star Trek: Legacy

"Star Trek: Legacy" was released for the XBOX 360 in late 2006. A version was also released for Windows-based PCs. The space combat game was released to coincide with the 40th anniversary of Star Trek. Players take control of a fleet of Federation starships and fight their way through three different Star Trek eras against various enemy races. The game begins in the Enterprise Era under Captain Jonathan Archer. Then the player is able to assume the role of Captain James T. Kirk at the command of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) from the original series. Finally, players progress to the command of vessels from the Next Generation era.

From Quiz Every Swing You Take...

Answer: Eye Toy

The Eye Toy was a precursor to many later technologies seen in the proceeding generations of gaming. Released in 2003 and developed by Logitech, the device was a bit of a flop. Some games in the series (such as "Eye Toy: Kinetic") required even more add-ons to be used. Nonetheless, the Eye Toy became a lead-in device; the PlayStation 3 received the PlayStation Eye in 2007 and it was required for certain games like "Eye of Judgment". Other games to use the Eye Toy included several of the "Dance Dance Revolution" games, all of the games in the "MLB: The Show" series, and certain "Tony Hawk" skateboarding games. Obviously, swinging around on-screen was required for some of these more than others. It may have been home players' first chances to do so.

From Quiz I Don't Read... I Play

Answer: Jiminy's Journal

Jiminy (the cricket from "Pinocchio") joins your team early on in the first game (2002, PlayStation 2), when Minnie Mouse employs him to keep track of everything that you do in the game in his journal. He notes your adventures, enemies fought, friends met, and all sorts of other facts and tidbits.

From Quiz The Supersonic Easter Egg Hunt

Answer: The ideas that didn't quite make the cut

The museum is on a planet called Burbank. To get there you will need to (a) reach Silver City in Bolden and (b) be there at 3am. "Why 3am?" you say. Because you are unable to sleep, you're insomniac remember. Then you will need to go through a process that involves the pressing of triangles, teleporting, fighting enemies, more teleporting and pressing of triangles. There is another way, but this one is more amusing. The museum gives you a really good insight into just how much detail is involved in putting a game together. There are also some interactive exhibits here as well.

From Quiz "Super Smash Bros. Brawl" Original Games

Answer: Five

In every "Mario Kart" from "Mario Kart 64" to "Mario Kart Wii" there were four courses per circuit. The only exception to this is in "Mario Kart Double Dash" where the All Cup Tour has sixteen courses.

From Quiz Which Seat Can I Take?

Answer: Shang Tsung

Although the original game didn't outline much story, it was later revealed that the first "Mortal Kombat" was of great importance to Earthrealm. Had Liu Kang not won this tournament, Earthrealm would have been annexed by Outworld! Shao Kahn was the main antagonist of "Mortal Kombat II" (1993), and Kintaro is one of his minions. Quan Chi and Shang Tsung form what is known as the Deadly Alliance in "Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance" (2002 USA).

From Quiz A Virtual Treasure Trove

Answer: Griseous Orb

The Griseous Orb is an orb that will work only on Giratina. The Adamant and Lustrous Orbs only effect Dialga and Palkia respectively. The Arcecetic Orb is just a made up name I made from the Pokemon Arceus.

From Quiz Spread Your Wings

Answer: Leonardo Da Vinci

Taking the player from the Holy Lands of the first "Assassin's Creed" game, "Assassin's Creed 2" visits Renaissance Italy as the player takes over the role of assassin, Ezio. Similar to the first game, the goal is to unlock memories of one man's ancestors as he lives through the life of the player character. By Ezio's side is Leonardo Da Vinci whose artisan and engineering skills will help along the way. One of the major features of the game was the use of a primitive flying machine designed by some of Da Vinci's old drawings. In select missions, Ezio can glide over Venice attacking enemies and traveling about.

From Quiz Here There Be Dragons

Answer: Breegull

Although you could spend the entire game of "Banjo-Tooie" (N64) playing with the normal bear-bird duo of Banjo and Kazooie, where would the fun be in not claiming the Mega-Glowbo from the safe in Cloud Cuckooland (accessed from Glitter Gulch Mine) and transforming Kazooie into a scaly, green dragon at Humba Wumba's hut outside Witchyworld's entrance in the Isle O' Hags? Unlike the normal Breegull form of Kazooie, Banjo can grab his trusty companion and she'll shoot a stream of fire from her mouth to set enemies ablaze. You can switch back and forth between Kazooie's two forms at will as long as you jump back into Humba's pool. Kazooie will also appear in dragon form in cinematics if this form is selected.

From Quiz Monkey See, Monkey Do

Answer: SingStar

With two microphones, one red and one blue, connected to an adapter with a USB, the player needs to complete songs much like in a game of karaoke. The only difference? Pitch is required. Like in "Rock Band" the game tracks the correct vocal pitch and scores accordingly. The first game in the series was released in 2004 on the PlayStation 2. Now, the series features many iterations and downloadable songs. An Xbox version of the game, "Lips", features the same sort of gimmick. Monkey See, Monkey Do: You are the singer! While a music video plays in the background, you can track your pitch onscreen to ensure that you pull off the proper note streaks to earn a high score. Because two players can play at once, head-to-head battles can be performed.

From Quiz The Key, The Secret

Answer: Diddy Kong Racing

In four of the many tracks found in the Nintendo 64 Rare game, "Diddy Kong Racing", players could find special keys that allowed specific versus levels to be opened: Fire Mountain, Icicle Pyramid, Darkwater Beach, and Smokey Castle. These levels were unlike the other racing tracks of the game. In these, four players either tried to attack each other, beat each other to collect eggs, or hoarded bananas in order to prevail and win the match. One key could be found in one of the tracks of each zone. For example, the key for Fire mountain would be in one of the tracks of Dino Domain (check Ancient Lake!). Finishing all four levels (and winning) allowed players to collect quarters of the T. T. Amulet, required to beat the game and fight Wizpig a second time.

From Quiz Video Games By Subtitles
