Test Your Game Knowledge
June 14, 1999

Think you know your stuff? Let's see if you can get these three questions.

Question #1: The Super Nintendo version of Wolfenstein 3D had a few major content changes. Name two.

Question #2: Name three games that have been released that utilize the Unreal engine.

Question #3: Several years before Unreal, Epic released a very different first person shooter. What game was it, and who authored the engine?

In addition, employees, relatives of employees, or groupies of employees of id Software and Epic Games are ineligible. Why? Because it's not fair to the other children.

How many times do I have to tell you? Go away already! Come on...I'll ask really nicely. Okay fine, you win. I won't ask nicely. In fact, I won't ask at all. I'll just stop talking now. We'll see how you like that. See? I don't have to talk to you. Yes, that's right. No - but - wait. I didn't think so. What? I did not say that about your mother. Weirdo. Are you waiting for me to put something interesting here, or what? Well, I'm not going to until you ask nicely. There, that wasn't so hard now was it? Sigh. I guess a deal's a deal...The voice that says "Hello," "You've got mail," and "Goodbye" on AOL is Elwood Eldrige, an employee.

Kermit the Frog has 11 points on his collar around his neck. In the Mario Brothers movie, the Princess' first name is Daisy, but in Mario 64, the game, her first name is Peach. Before that, it's Princess Toadstool. Ice Cube's real name is O'Shea Jackson. Mickey Mouse's ears are always turned to the front, no matter which direction his head is pointing. Anagram for "Stephen Heaslip": SLEEP NEATH SHIP. John Carmack: "MONARCH JACK." John Romero's Hair: "HORROR JAM HE SO IN." Mark Twain was born on a day in 1835 when Halley's Comet came into view.

So there. Now go home, and leave me alone already! I'll give you some more later. Honest. I wouldn't joke about something like this. Well, not most of the time, anyway.
