The Great Retro Quiz! .11: Mega Man photo

After an unfortunate one-week hiatus, The Great Retro Quiz! is back, although a little bit worn out from all the traveling and unhealthy amounts of eating. Even though it may look a little heavier, let’s all be extra sweet and tell our little friend that eating four leftover turkey sandwiches late on a Saturday night is actually helpful in keeping the weight off. I ... er ... it appreciates the positive reinforcement.

Since next month marks the 20th anniversary of everyone’s favorite “Pew! Pew! Pew!” hero, this week’s quiz is all about the original Mega Man games (specifically 1-8). I am assuming you all played (and adored!) these games growing up, but do you really remember them as well as you think you do? Does the name “Guts Man” ring a bell or leave you scratching your head in confusion?

Like every week, just leave your answers in the comments and whoever gets the most right will win (in the event of a tie, Dr. Light will invent and build a robot to randomly select a winner)! For the victor, this week’s prize is a seriously cool (and big!) action figure of the Blue Bomber himself. You can check my community blog tomorrow for all the correct answers and the nail biting results.

Charge up that mental arm cannon and ... good luck!

#15 does have two answers. I made a little error in my image selection. Oops. Well, two answers are better than one, I guess! :) :)

@bbrigg1,
Funny you should suggest that ... I actually tried my BEST to include a music question (specifically from Mega Man 2). The music in that game is amazing, but it just didn't work right when I tried to implement it into the quiz. I am determined to figure out a way to do it in the future, though. :)

Here's what you do. Record yourself singing part of a Megaman song, throw the mp3 up, and make people identify the game and stage.

Hey Aerox and Jasongame,
Do you have any screenshots of Mega Man with blue or brown hair from the games(1-8)? If so, I may throw out this question. My memory (and research) only produced multiple black-haired images. I just want everyone to have a fair shot if I was mistaken. :) :)

You sure that Light was his father? I thought that he was his creator and I thought in the show they called him his father but it was in reference to the fact that he was his creator. Hrm...

@Chad
I'm sort of surprised you threw out the hair question since Blue's not a choice anyways. You could still go by the 2nd choice that's left, but I guess...

Yeah, I totally agree with you on the hair question, but unless an answer is 100% I don't feel right about it. I have issues. :)

20. This was the only question that I had to look up. Upon watching the intro on my copy of the Anniversary Collection for the PS2, I counted 34 blue windows twice. Unless this version added an extra set of windows, that should be the answer. Since there was no option for '34', I will choose the next best thing - A. 32

Another awesome quiz. Keep 'em coming!

If Dr. Light isn't considered Mega Man's father, then why the crap would Proto Man be considered his brother? Makes no sense. The only possibilities would be both A and C or simply none at all if you go literally.
