Hey everyone. I’ve gone and distracted Chad with a Japanese copy of Ecco: The Dolphin, giving me the chance to steal his weekly Retro Quiz column. You may have noticed in my Retro TV Game Revival profile, the store had quite an interesting floor. Namely, that the entirety of the first floor of the store was plastered with screenshots from famous retro games, along with ads from old issues of videogame magazines.
So, this week, instead of answering the usual batch of twenty questions that Chad writes up, I’ve got twenty screenshots numbered down after the jump. I’d like for you all to take a look at them, and try to name all twenty games that the images come from. It’s a bit of a change from the usual pace of things, but I figured I’d throw it up a little bit.
The answers will appear in Chad’s community blog as usual, as soon as he can identify all the games himself. See if you can score higher than Chad!
