Test Your Quake Knowledge 3:
The Answers Revealed


Allrighty kids...let's see how you did, shall we?

Question #1: Wolfenstein 3D had a disclaimer that read, "this game has been voluntarily rated PC-13." What did the "PC" stand for?

Answer: The intro screen to Wolfenstein 3D had the following disclaimer:

woo!

Yep, the "PC" in "PC-13" stood for "Profound Carnage."

Question #2: In all, there were eleven games released using the Build engine. Name eight.

Answer: In my infinite stupidity, I left one out of my original list...in actuality there are twelve Build engine licensed games. Here's a list:

  1. Duke Nukem 3D
  2. Blood
  3. 'Nam
  4. Shadow Warrior
  5. Redneck Rampage
  6. Redneck Rampage Rides Again
  7. Redneck Deer Huntin'
  8. Extreme Paint Brawl
  9. Witchaven 1
  10. Witchaven 2
  11. Tekwar
  12. Powerslave

In addition, there was one other answer we accepted: Fate, while it never technically was released, does have a downloadable demo available on AVault.

Question #3: What was the first FPS game to ship with CTF support right out of the box?

Answer: Rise of the Triad, from Apogee included a multiplayer mode called "Capture the Triad" which was essentially CTF.

And the winner is...Myrddin Emrys!

Congrats! E-mail us the name of the game you want, and we'll get that out to you.

And here's the reason you really came by...those wacky entries.

Question #1: This time around there wasn't any question that everyone managed to get right...as a result there's plenty of novelty answers to be found.

"PC" - parental care.
-- / misAGONY

"PC" stands for "Personal Computer". Originally eleves ruled the monkey and withing the ice cream, with bones, eggs had vinegar. Oh and by the way, there is no spoon.
-- Hippo

Initially it stood for Piece of Crap with a rating of 13 for really bad, but they decided it should stand for Politically Correct instead.
-- StingRay

-- andy, atsign, n stuff.

PC = Parental control. they are controlling us man...
-- DOOManiac

Paradigm Creating.
-- Stepto

Please Compile?
-- Pablo J. Nevares

Question #2: Lots of strange answers for this one. You'd be amazed how many people entered mission packs and add-ons as full Build Engine games.

Who cares? None of 'em is Quake!
-- Brock South

Duke Nukem, Shadow Warrior, eXtreme Paintball (you can look this one up!), and a whole bunch of other crappy games.
-- David M. Peters

Shadow Warrior, NAM....er.....and the other 6 I can't remember.
-- Tezz

The what engine? eh... Final Fantasy 1, Final Fantasy 2, Final Fantasy 3, Final Fantasy 4, Final Fantasy 5, Final Fantasy 6 Final Fantasy 7 Dang! don't know the eigth!!!
-- Neutrino

Uh...Final Fantasy 8, maybe?

-- Shaz Bot

Duke3d, Doom, Doom2, Corridor, Heritic, Hexen, Blood, Duke Nukem Forever...wait, that's not been released... Oh, Prey! On second thought...
-- Matt Brickell

Question #3: Apparently there's a FAQ somewhere that lists Descent 2 as being the first game to ship with CTF support. Sorry to everyone who used that as a resource. Other common answers were Unreal (??), Quake 2, Starsiege: TRIBES, and Jedi Knight. And then there were the odd ones...

Half-Life. If not then it must have been Myst because it supported (C)rap-(T)hought-and-(F)inal-Product.
-- N Leigh

Goldeneye for N64 ....screw Unreal.
-- Lucky $am

PAINTBRAWLZ BAYBE!!! UHH OHH YEA THAT GAME ROCKS!!!
-- Rob Schramm

Trick questions (*i think*) Unreal Tournament is going to be the first game with it.
-- Wiseman

Hardball 5
-- Andy Crum

The very first game to ever be shipped with CTF (Capture the Flag) support was one of the first. It included withing its gaming goodness its very own CTF support from which you could easily play CTF to our hearts content. This game was the first of its kind. Many thought that this was quite original as no other game has ever been realeased with CTF support. The Capture the Flag Mod was something new to be shipped with the games. It was the first game ever to actually include the specific CTF support required to play the game of CTF.In conclusion, this game was the first to ever include such an amazing feat of technology.
-- Hippo

This has got to be a trick question. no FPS has ever shipped with anything
extra out of the box.

-- andy, atsign, n stuff.

i'm guessing that the answer to the 3rd question is "Tribes", but as i'm an SP guy, i don't know for sure. (given loony's love for the game, tho, it wouldn't surprise me.) wonder how many ppl are going to say "q2", conveniently forgetting it wasn't in the box? :) maybe a quick editorial on the short memories of gamers should follow... :D

Official looking tiny printTM: All decisions are final. But only because we said so. Blue's News has the right to change the rules as we see fit. Muhahahahaha. Let's cut to the chase, shall we?
