Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted December 22, 2017 Awards Moderator Share Posted December 22, 2017 After a four year hiatus... it's back! Continuing my obsession with all things Only Connect, this year's quiz is entirely formatted around Only Connect rounds. If you're new to this, my games quizzes are on the tricky side, unless you are @Bicurious Dad. Here's a link to the 2013 quiz if you want some more to do. It's purely for fun - my Christmas gift to you - so either comment below (with spoilers please), PM me if you're desperate to know an answer, or just do it in your head. It's up to you. Answers will be posted in about a week. So if you're not familiar with Only Connect, first you need to remedy that, and second every round is on the theme of connecting items together under a single topic. It'll make more sense once we get going. ROUND ONE - CONNECTIONS First under the Egyptian hieroglyphs, four apparently random things. Can you spot the connection within the group? So I could have Triangle, Square, Circle, Cross = the PlayStation buttons. Ideally use as few clues as possible. 1. Clyde Binky Pinky Inky 2. Open Look at Give Turn on 3. Killer Instinct Battlefield 4 Assassin's Creed IV Forza 5 4. The Movies Theme Park Dungeon Keeper Black & White 5. Most Wanted High Stakes Porsche Unleashed Underground 6. Doki Doki Panic Magical Flying Turbo Hat Adventure M. Bison Bully ROUND TWO - FOURTH IN THE SERIES Similar to round one, but predict what could be fourth in the sequence. Again, try and use as few clues as possible. 1. Metroid Metroid II Super Metroid ??? 2. PlayStation Game Boy / Game Boy Color Nintendo DS ??? 3. Death Egg Zone Wing Fortress Zone Sky Chase Zone ??? 4. Jick Jeff Jick ??? 5. I'm too young to die Hey, not too rough Hurt me plenty ??? 6. Arkangelsk Severnaya Kyrgyzstan ??? ROUND THREE - CONNECTING WALL Find four groups of four. ROUND FOUR - MISSING VOWELS These games have had their vowels removed, squished together then spaced weirdly.

However I didn't bother doing the clues bit, so you'll never be able to input the reasons. (I just wanted the visual). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro Red Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Ta! ROUND ONE - CONNECTIONS First under the Egyptian hieroglyphs, four apparently random things. Can you spot the connection within the group? So I could have Triangle, Square, Circle, Cross = the PlayStation buttons. Ideally use as few clues as possible. 1. Pacman Ghosts 2. Point & Click commands (Monkey Island, etc) 3. Not sure. 4. Bullfrog Games - EDIT : No, black and white wasn't Bullfrog, so Molyneux again? 5. Need for Speed Games 6. Renamed for release elsewhere (I want to say Japanese for the US market but Bully was renamed cos of da' kids) ROUND TWO - FOURTH IN THE SERIES Similar to round one, but predict what could be fourth in the sequence. Again, try and use as few clues as possible. 1. Metroid Prime (Metroid releases chronologically) 2. PlayStation 2 (top selling consoles in reverse) 3. (sonic & knuckles final stage but don't know it) 4. Willy (Double Dragon bosses) 5. Ultra-Violence (DOOM difficulty levels, also followed by Nightmare) 6. (Goldeneye stages, don't know the next one) ROUND THREE - CONNECTING WALL Find four groups of four. Mayhem, Immortals, Champions, Supercard (WWE Mobile Games) Drawn to Death, Twisted metal, God of War, Kinetica - (David Jaffe games) Unleashed, Adventure, Colors, Generations - (Sonic titles) Hookshot, Boomerang, Bomb, Bow (Zelda Weapons) ROUND FOUR - MISSING VOWELS These games have had their vowels removed, squished together then spaced weirdly.

See the "UKFF questions" thread because I had to clear that up. However it couldn't handle the massive amounts of spoiler tags I needed and died. @Bicurious Dad you have destroyed another one of my quizzes! Well done.

Thanks for doing another one, it was great fun and some real troublesome questions. Definitely think a good chunk of it fell in my favour because of my own gaming history/interests. Also, as a huge Only Connect fan I also love the format so that helps too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted December 23, 2017 Moderators Share Posted December 23, 2017 I don't like to make assumptions, but if say it's a fair bet that the theme is games. Giving this a go - my success rate I feel is about as good as an average episode of only connect. Which is to say, very low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted December 23, 2017 Author Awards Moderator Share Posted December 23, 2017 @Teedy Kay is right - completely slipped my mind! I hope you can forgive me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
