Before looking at any other answers

1. Links (I think)
2. Tetris (absolute guess)
3. COD (guess, but it is popular). Or, maybe Skyrim or something if an individual game
4. Sonic (guess)
5. Mario (just guessing Mario if a short name for some mental long name, like Ronaldo)
6. Uncharted (guess, but Drake rings a bell)
7. omg, played both, but never remember the company names. If you gave me 3 or 4 options, I'd get it
8. No idea, and no doubt I'll kick myself. I'll just say Mortal Kombat
9. No idea, monkey

Safe to say I didn't cheat

Flip sake. Looking at other answers. I 100% knew the title "Crash Bandicoot". But, I didn't know a bandicoot was an actual animal, I just thought it was the characters surname or something

And if Final Fantasy is the answer to No. 8, I'll scream. As I've played every main version since FF7, and it's the very reason I play those sorts of games now. But, I was thinking the answer was some sort of Fighter game

I think GB72 has 9 out of 9 correct.

It was the only game series I could think of where the most recent release had 16 in the title. Thought of fighting games but Streetfighter is only up to 6 in numbered releases (but have probably been near 16 if you include everything0 and Mortal Kombat got up to 11 for numbered releases I think but will have had more than 16 if you include all titles (even more if you add Injustice as well) but has recently re-set to One.

Yeah I thought that was an easy one to be honest. Can't think of any other games that are well in the teens for numbered game titles.

Maybe I am not a gamer after all. I think I get 3 points.

For number 6 I was guessing Guybrush Treepwood, really showing age here.

In fairness, it is obvious if you focus on the edition of the game (and you know the game). 16th edition points strongly to FF, albeit I don't play Mortal Kombat or Streetfighter, so no idea what edition they are on.

Sadly, my attention was focused on fighting mythical creatures. Poor by me, as there are probably thousands of games you fight mythical creatures.

To be fair there has been a couple of revivals of Monkey Island and so Guybrush is not that out of date.

Indeed he has

Thanks for sharing! I’m not good with quizzes so

Than a further enquiry as according to AI:

Tetris is the best-selling game of all time, with estimates around 520 million copies sold, including versions bundled with hardware https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/every-gamespot-10-10-review-score/2900-153/. Minecraft comes in second place, surpassing 300 million copies sold across all platforms as of 2023 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lists_of_best-selling_video_games.

 

[Springveldt]

Captain Shepherd was a character in what game series? I've never played them so I didn't have a clue, I think we put COD.

Mass Effect. Go play it, brilliant series.

The quiz fella always goes off Wikipedia, on there it’s by far the biggest seller.

Well, I spent 180 fantastic hours in the games and a really disappointing last 20 minutes.

Still one of the best series I’ve ever played. The first one was a bit clunky in combat but the story hooks you in. The other 2 were fantastic.

Right up there with Fallout and Bioshock for me.

Two others I’ve never played there

It gets great reviews, I’m still playing MW3 zombies, trying to get that last schematic in the new dark aether
I bought a Switch last week, already rattled off the first 12 trophies on Mario Kart 8
Looking forward to starting Zelda Breath of Wild this weekend
