Test Your Game Knowledge 9:
The Final Frontier Uncovered

Let's see how you did, shall we?

Question #1: What's the (full) name of the character you play in Wolfenstein 3D?

Answer: William J. "BJ" Blazkowicz.

Question #2: In addition to his own games, Commander Keen makes a brief appearance in another id Software title. What game was it?

Answer: In level 32 of Doom II: Hell on Earth, Commander Keen makes an appearance.

Question #3: What's the name of Commander Keen's alter ego?

Answer: Billy Blaze.

And the winner is...the man known only as "Bas B"!

You the man, dude. E-mail us the name of the game you want, and we'll get that to you as soon as we remember to mail it.

And now...those wacky entries:

Question #1: Spelling counted for this one, I'm afraid, so that knocked a bunch of people out. Still, a lot of people managed to get it right. To correctly answer the question, you had to put his full name, so just putting "BJ" or "BJ Blazkowicz" would be incorrect.

"Dude, I kept thinking you were like Hitler and you went around worshipping yourself... that's what you get when playing games at the age of like 9 and stuff... heh remember that porn addon to wolf 3d................hmmm..... wolf 3d... mmm..."
-- SHoCKMoi

"Wasn't it Wolfenstein? I mean, why else would the game be called that?!"
--Jonathan Stockho

"Reiner Wolfecastle"
-- Pete "AgentOrange" Bythrow

"BJ Blascowitz (no points off for spelling please!!!) "
-- G Maximus (Glooty-Us-Maximus)

"Gee, I dunno."
-- Daniel Freemantle

"William J. "B.J." Balzcowicz. More commonly known as simply "BJ" The B, of course, stands for Billy, the short name for William. The J doesn't stand for anything. Just, 'J'."
-- Andrew

Question #2: Most people managed to get this one right. Next time the questions will be harder, I think. :)

"Pong."
-- Blaze

"Commander Keen (four of him, actually), appeared in DOOM 2. He was also in Bio Menace by Apogee, but that was not an id game, so the answer is DOOM 2."
-- David Layne

"Many fun hours were spent killing Keen with all the different weapons and listening to his PC Speaker scream."
-- Whitney Babcock-McConnell

"You know, I wonder if his appearance in Doom (dead as he was) was an indication that he lost his battle with Mortimer... Hey, perhaps Mortimer was behind the entire inter-dimensional space travel thing... Maybe that was his way of "destroying" the universe... It's all a conspiracy... A CONSPIRACY I TELL YOU!!! Muahhaa...."
-- Jason H. Frisvold

Question #3: Again, too easy. Next time, you guys are gonna hate me. ;)

"Companion Dave."
-- MANIAC

"Arg s--t...<tentatively>Duke Nukem!!</tentatively>"
-- G Maximus (Glooty-Us-Maximus)

"So if I only know one and I've answered already, I not gonna know this one am I ?! Geez people."
-- Daniel Freemantle

"Keen's actual name is Billy Blaze, which is a shortened version of Billy Blazcowitz (there's that damned spelling again... I really hope this isn't wrong.) Billy is actually the *grandson/nephew/some other relation of which I know not* of Mr. B (I give up on that spelling s--t) from Wolf3D."
-- Kevin M. Lowe

"John Carmack."
-- Pablo J. Nevares

Is it just me, or has this guy been in every single one of these?

"Well, ummmm, lets see. Hmmmm.... Commander Keen.... hmmmm.... well....ummmmm.... hmmmmm....ummmm.... well.... I'll be damned, umm.... hmmmm..... Rise of the Triad..... yeah.... ROTT....."
-- James Puckett

There you go, everyone...hope you all had fun! Check back later in the week for our next contest!

Ph3r. Chapter 1 of every single one of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy novels begins with the letter "T", and of them, all but one begin with the word "the". In Utah, when a person reaches the age of 50, he/she can then marry their cousin. Estimated size of heaven, in cubic miles, according to the Reverend Billy Graham : 1,500. When Albert Einstein died, his final words died with him. The nurse at his side didn't understand German. The Toltecs, Seventh-century native Mexicans, went into battle with wooden swords so as not to kill their enemies. The Nobel Prize resulted form a late change in the will of Alfred Nobel, who did not want to be remembered after his death as a propagator of violence - he invented dynamite. Pogonophobia is the fear of beards. More stupid Utah laws (they officially win the Tiny Print™ stupid laws award): in Utah (we stress that) it is illegal to detonate any nuclear weapon. You can have them, but you just can't detonate them. A husband is responsible for every criminal act committed by his wife while she is in his presence. No one may have sex in the back of an ambulance if it is responding to an emergency call (this obviously was a problem). Think that's bad? In Tremonton, it is illegal to have sex in a moving ambulance and if you are caught the guy is let go and the woman is punished and her name appears in the newspaper. And of course, the dumbest law I think I've ever heard: in Utah, it is illegal not to drink milk. That's right, it is illegal not to drink milk. So I guess my whole habit of eating Cap'n Crunch with Guiness is a no-no. Amazing quote: "It's like kissing Hitler." Tony Curtis on kissing Marilyn Monroe. Okay, that should keep you 'till the next contest, don't you think? No? Well tough.
