The`re all shooters?.

That is what I thought at first, but, like he said earlier, that would be too easy.

Well, lets think about what we know.

One looks like a Metroid Game.
Two is Grand Theft Auto 3.
Three is unknown.
4 looks like Doom to me.

Metroid
GTA3
Contra
Doom
No idea what connects them, just stating the known facts.

All of them introduced some sort of revolutionary feature to video gaming?

That’s really vague, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the answer was something along those lines.

The`re all really hard to beat too so that might be the answer.

I wonder if it’s something to do with music…
Apparently they’re making/have already made/not sure an album of Metroid Music.
GTA3 had a soundtrack released, I’m 99% sure.
Vampire Weekend released an (excellent) album called Contra
And I would be very surprised if there isn’t an album called Doom

I think this is it. I definitely know Doom was like the first FPS ever.

Something about having Super in it? Games that have a number of games to the series? Games that went from 2D to 3D? I’m just shooting things off, I don’t even know if these are applicable

Is it that they are all terrible games?

This is the closest idea so far but it’s still incorrect. :P

Is it like the popularization or starting of genres? Like Metroidvania, Cheat Codes(idk), Sandboxes, FPS

Or maybe its games that have been forever immortalized by some specific feature, not necessarily an innovation

You have the answer within that answer. Expand on the correct bit. :P

I don’t know anything about Contra besides the konami code so I’m done for guesses

Perhaps those four games were the first ever in their series?

No, you’re losing it now.

Games where you can enter cheatcodes to access different stuff?

Metroid had JUSTINBAILEY to play suitless.
GTA has loads of them. NOBODYLIKESME comes to mind, weirdly enough.
Contra, obviously, has the Konami Code.
Doom had the ID cheats. I remember IDKFA for infinite ammo.

Correct – they are all games with famous cheat codes!

Question 34:

NAG A RAMS MERE EMOTION – just to piss Wii off :P This time there are 10 countries and their national dish. For example, FLAG DEAF PENALTY is Egypt and Falafel. Answer all 10 for one point!

1. A DIZZY ANAL PIT
2. DEFTER ANGEL ABANDONS
3. AGHAST AND SCOLDING
4. APPEASED INSULTED PATIENT
5. SCAR FACED ‘N’ PREEN (apostrophes aren’t part of the word)
6. A MANIPULATE RADIATES
7. ABUNDANT AS A COWARDICE
8. UNEASY DRAB ARRANGEMENT
9. HUMDRUM AS ALIENS
10. SAD INANE APPALL

Oh god.

noooooo! I’m not good at figuring these out!

A good tip: instantly pick out the ‘and’ from each anagram and then try to identify the country first?
