Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of the following ladies is flame haired and the governor of the Tri-Islands Area in action-adventure series "Monkey Island"?

Answer: Elaine Marley

"Monkey Island" is a series of adventure games that were developed by LucasFilms Games, the first of which "The Secret of Monkey Island" was released in 1990. The hero is Guybrush Threepwood who is working his way to being the most notorious pirate in the Caribbean, while he battles the zombie pirate Le Chuck and tries to win the heart of the governor Elaine Marley.

Elaine controls the Tri-Island Area, which includes Melee Island, Booty Island and Plunder Island. She knows her way on board a ship and knows how to handle a sword. The zombie pirate Le Chuck has designs on her which end up getting Elaine into all sorts troublesome situations. She is also pursued by the dashing Guybrush, who does, eventually, win her heart and makes her his bride.
2. What sort of creature is the red spiked Knuckles from the Sega series "Sonic the Hedgehog"?

Answer: Echidna

Knuckles makes his first appearance in the video game "Sonic the Hedgehog 3" (1994), where, because he is so gullible, he is easily tricked by the sinister Dr. Eggman into attacking Sonic and Tails. His popularity was such that he became a playable character that same year in the game "Sonic & Knuckles" (1994).

Knuckles is a short beaked echidna who, despite opposing Sonic at the start, winds up being his best friend. His spiked hands are great in a fight, they help him climb walls and he glides with ease. He is the last of the Knuckles Clan and his major role is to guard the Master Emerald, which controls the Chaos Emeralds.
3. What gender is Commander Shepard from the "Mass Effect" series of games?

Answer: Either male or female

In this BioWare series, Shepard is a playable character whose gender is dependent on the choice made by the player. The male player's first name is John (and he's dark-haired, so he doesn't really belong here) and the female's name is Jane (she's the ember-lock). Neither of the names are used in the dialogue during the game and the character is generally referred to as "Shepard". In coming up with the name the creators wanted one that worked well for either gender, had a leadership quality about it and was both a common but strong American name. The choice of Shepard was inspired by the first American in space, Alan Shepard.

Interestingly, the initial version of the female Shepard was meant to be blonde haired. Six different versions of the character were put forward, into a competition that was voted upon by the public. The blonde haired, freckle faced character won through. BioWare decided that the hair colouring may have been too much of an influencing feature and reworked the colours and the second time around, Jane Shepard became a ginger.
4. The looter shooter game "Borderlands" was, initially, set on the planet Pandora and featured a ruby-haired Siren named Lilith who, because of her powers, is often called which of the following?

Answer: Witch

"Borderlands" was released in 2009 and there have been a number of sequels since. The initial game was set on the planet Pandora which is extremely rich in potent minerals and it became a temptation to numerous corporate raiders. However, when these corporations arrive to colonize the planet they cannot find any redeeming qualities and the local inhabitants make it far too dangerous to settle, so they leave. It is later revealed that the real treasures of the planet are hidden in vaults and are guarded by dangerous creatures. This brings the raiders scurrying back.

Despite being a non-playing character (NPC) Lilith makes significant appearances in a number of the games. She is blessed with the ability to "phasewalk", which turns her invisible to her enemies (except other Sirens), she can create shock waves (phase blasts) and she can move at a faster speed. In "Borderlands 3", she is killed off though, the ending is such that she may not be entirely dead.

She also has some sass about her. In the game manual when she is queried about her abilities she claims her powers come from her crossing the "Hotness Threshold"..."Any woman as good looking as me can do what I do".
5. The evil carrot-top known as Ganondorf Dragmire frequently uses the Triforce of Power to launch attacks on Hyrule in which series of games?

Answer: The Legend of Zelda

Generally known by his nickname, Ganon, Dragmire, in his true form is a monstrous beast that resembles a giant boar. He was introduced in "The Legend of Zelda" (1986) as the main antagonist and has either been or has been mentioned in most of the series since.

In the first of that series he was promoted as the Prince of Darkness but was (really) a run of the mill monster with a scary title. Since then the writers have steadily developed him as a character to the point that he is now a mighty warlock.
6. Which of the following gingersnaps is the daughter of the vampire Kagan and is an agent of the Brimstone Society?

Answer: Rayne

Rayne is the main protagonist of the "BloodRayne" franchise which was first released in 2002. Her mother is not named in the series but she is known to be a human woman. As the offspring of a vampire and a human woman she is known as a dhampir.

As a child Rayne was a gentle soul and even baulked at the thought of sticking pins into the butterflies in her collection. However, when her mother passed away she was left alone and was unloved. This changed her and now she is on a trail of vengeance and the first part of that is a mission to kill her father, the vampire Kagan... and heaven help any vampire that chooses to get in her way. The Brimstone Society is a secret sect of individuals who have tasked themselves to protect humanity from any supernatural threat.
7. The fireball that is Joanna Dark is the title character and main protagonist of which series?

Answer: Perfect Dark

Thanks to a genetic quirk, Joanna's shoulder length red hair has a blonde streak through it. Raised by her father, who ran a bail bond agency Jo developed her marksmanship skills and became lethal in the art of hand-to-hand combat. Recruited into the Carrington Institute she learns the art of espionage and becomes your classic spy heroine.

In her black and blue suit and a pair of pistols strapped to her legs she saves the world again and again... and again.
8. Whilst he may be a baldi-locks (bald-headed), his red mustache indicates that when he had hair, he was a coppertop. Which of the following evil scientists is from the video game "Sonic the Hedgehog"?

Answer: Dr. Robotnik

Dr. Ivo Robotnik, also known as Dr. Eggman has been a vital part of the "Sonic" series since its inception in 1991. His mad plan is to take over the world and turn it into his own Eggman Empire, a form of egg-based paradise. He has a massive IQ, around the 300 mark and he keeps on creating all sorts of vehicles and robots in an effort to defeat his arch-nemesis, Sonic. Thing is, for someone who possesses super intelligence he tends to overlook a simple little detail far too often and this allows Sonic or his mates to wriggle out of a tight situation, time and time again.
9. Claire Redfield is a real spitfire with hair to match. She is a member of TerraSave, fighting against the threats of bio-organic weapons in which zombie infested series of video games?

Answer: Resident Evil

Claire's parents died while she was still a youngster and this strengthened her bond with her brother Chris who, initially, joined the US Air Force and then became a member of STAR (Special Tactics and Rescue Service). Claire's university days were spent studying motorcycle customization and lock-picking (where is this university?). During the times she spent with her brother he taught her hand-to-hand combat and provided her with some firearms training.

In 1998 Claire would travel to Raccoon City in search of her brother. She doesn't find Chris but she does find a lot of zombies and is lucky to get out alive. She cannot stay out of trouble and winds up in the middle of several bio-hazard breakouts... seeing she cannot keep away she decides that she will devote her life endeavouring to destroy these threats.
10. Which lobster-top (red-head) is the King Koopa and one of the primary antagonists in the "Mario" franchise?

Answer: Bowser

The Koopa Troop is one of the badlands of the "Mario" franchise that is inhabited by hordes of turtle-like creatures called Koopas and Bowser (also known as King Bowser) is their leader. He is a big, powerful beast, has spikes on his back and is capable of breathing fire.

He made his first appearance in 1985's "Super Mario Bros" with the evil aim of taking over the Mushroom Kingdom. He casts a spell on the land, turning everyone into inanimate objects and then kidnaps Princess Toadstool... the only person capable of reversing the spell.

He has gone on to become the principal enemy of Mario and has appeared in the majority of the games in the franchise. He still continues to try and defeat Mario and he regularly tries to kidnap the Princess Peach.
