Great. I did better at this one that I thought I would.

This brought back lots of memories and had me rummaging through my game boxes looking for the logos. :D I did have to guess a couple including number 14. Never seen that logo before, but "Delphine Software International" was the only name that I could think of that fitted the initials. What games was this logo used on? My Delphine game boxes have the film camera logo on them.

Now just to wait for Teho's answers!:dry:

PG had some interesting answers. But he disappointed me at question 13, where he said Black Hand?? Come on PG, it's the Bitmap Bros :lol:

And he said Panther Software for question 20, which is the most difficult to guess imo, but his approach was quite good :thumbs: unfortunately it was wrong!!!

For Delphine we had Distinctive and Destination as anwers, the only one who got it right so far was Harrison. The DSI logo was used later, the logo with the camera was their first one.

For 12 I thought it was FTL initially, the developers of Dungeon Master, but then I looked at the box and it was completely different. Didn't know Origin.

I'm surprised no one else has got The Bitmap Bros yet. That was the first one I recognised. Where have all the other Speedball 2 fans gone? ;)

And some of the other logos brought back some great gaming memories. Firebird especially as that developer was so old and I remember the logo on many BBC Micro games, as well as Elite!

I have often wondered where some of the companies get their logos from though. Infogrames and an armadillo with a rainbow on its back? :unsure: That one always puzzled me. Must be something in the history of the company.

About Infogrames:

The company logo is an armadillo (tatou in French), chosen when the company was moved to Villeurbanne. Bonnell commented: "This dinosaur (sic) is our symbol. The armadillo always survives to the changes of his environment, from the thawing of the ices, to the worst of the heat waves."

So now I know. :)

And the rainbow on its back?

To add some color? The C64 had also rainbow colors, only to show it's capable of displaying colors. The Rainbow Arts logo also has 3 little men in different colors.

True. I was also thinking that maybe it was in a rainbow to show the spectrum of colour the games contained.

Man I only recognised a couple of those lol. Damn, that armadillo...seriously, tried to find it on the net....typed in "colourful armadillo" and all sorts of random combinations....I tried image search and ended up with chastity belts :sick:

I hope you cleared your browser cache after that search! Your gf would be getting quite worried if she looked through those results. :lol:

Oh yes, there was a prompt search on wikipedia after that post...my gf didnt believe me...its ok, she is just as disturbed as me. :thumbs:

Hadn't you heard of chastity belts before that then? Very common in the UK! ;)

Oh yea, but I was always thinking of the one that goes around a person's leg

Around a leg? Not heard of that one, or are the thinking of the strap the religious groups wear for their sins that has barbs that dig into the leg?

Thats the one. Nasty looking thing that is

A few of those really stumped me especially the microids one!

on my answers i put when it was a shot in the dark guess ;)

perhaps more of you would have got the infogrames logo if had been the black on white version that was on Jumping Jackson ;)

i also remeber the lorciels logo as i made sure to avoid those games like the plauge!

can't believe i forgot to answer 8 i was too busy concentrating on the ones i couldnt get lol:) of course i knew it was ubisoft but thats easy said now ;)

I already wondered why you didn't reply to question 8, as it was one of the easiest, and you seemd pretty confident :)

I did better than i thought. Well done on a damn hard quiz.

I am so impressed with my score, considering I was working from memory.

There were a few I was uncertain of so I left them out, but I think I got 100% correct of the ones I answered!!! Yay, I am sooooo good!

I'm glad you're the modest type v85rawdeal! ;)

'Tis my only imperfection, which, in and of itself, is not a flaw, hence I am perfect!

Wooo! So close, I just needed a few more right.

I quite enjoyed that one.

It's great to see loads of interest in this Quiz just before it is going to close. A lot of very close results indeed. :)

We even have a tie this time, so no real winner or two 1st places.

So I finally got round to get my answers in, just in time too it seems. Did not do well at all on this one. Just about all the logos were very familiar, and I was really frustrated about not managing to place a lot of them. Also I managed to put one of my answers behind the wrong number, but DC spotted that and gave me the points for it anyway so thanks for that.

:lol: You sound a little worried there. Can't imagine why. ;)

Not getting 13, 14 , 15 and 19 is really bad! You should feel ashamed! ;) :lol:

I know! It was like the braincells had forgot to flick the switch of the memory section to ON that day. I was really frustrated with some of those logos. Oh well.

You really should do another one of these DC i really enjoyed this one. how about grabbing 1 qtr of a game screen for name that game etc (ie the bit without the name in it etc ;))

Oddly enmough, I was already working on that as my next quiz....


Maybe I'll do one using the reviews of a game and you have to guess the game...

I have so many ideas... and most of them crap!

If the reviews are from AP then I'm in.

Man, I loved Amiga Power. I'm tempted to get my copies from the loft at my mum's house and bring them home and read them all over again.

I have another three quizzes all ready to run at some point, but I am going to let Quiz 5 run for a while, as I sense it's gonna be a real humdinger to complete...

That is great that you have some more waiting. :)

And I agree with that. Quiz 5 is quite tough for sure!
