10,000 Ways to Die – It’s HALLOWEEN quiz time!!!

Welcome to our first ever QUIZ!!! 30 deathly thumbnail images – can you guess all the games?

Now the younger of you might be a tad horrified by the lack of 3D-normalmapped-HDR-rendered images in the piccie above, but fear not – these are snapshots from the great olden days of videogaming.

What is the quiz? – Good question, well it’s based on the knowledge of 2D arcade games. Look at the picture, and work out which games all the spooky thumbnails are from. All we want to know are the names of the games please.

What’s with all the death? – It’s GAMEOVER images, moments from when you have been klobbered by the enemy, moments so painful they should still be burnt into your retinas.

Mummy, it’s so hard! – Yes well it wouldn’t be a quiz otherwise. Watchout for a couple of possible red herrings in there too, if you aren’t 100% sure then I’d advise you go back a double check.

OK, but what do I win in exchange for my genius gaming knowledge?

  • Brand new (unopened) copy of Black and White 2 (PC)
