I think I may have poured too many quarters into too few games to make a good showing here, but I definitely look forward to the screenshots!

Sweet. I'll be sending in answers soon. My kids have watched Wreck It Ralph like 50 times, so I think I will win based solely on that.

Re: Retro-Arcade Sheep - Hyper Warp Edition
Finally a game where i feel good about my answers. Of course, my answers are only really good for my generation. I was into buying and fixing up arcade games for a few years.

Re: Retro-Arcade Sheep - Hyper Warp Edition
I was lucky enough to grow up in Hawaii during the birth of the arcade. And even more lucky that many arcade games were from Japan. I remember fondly of Mitsukoshi and Game Word, buildings that had whole floors dedicated to not the stand ups, but mostly tabletop arcade games. So when I moved to So Cal, I was already exposed to a lot of games that I never could find again on the mainland.
I kept it loose and generic with the questions, because arcade games span such a good amount of time. Like the Saturday Morning Cartoon Sheep, this will cover decades of possible answers. Luckily, consoles and emulators have kept a lot of the old school arcade games alive for everyone to experience.

Re: Retro-Arcade Sheep - Hyper Warp Edition
That is my thinking as well. Age groups will have similar answers. For example, I stacked two slams on the best developer question and came up with an answer imediatly. I was thinking "there is only one good answer to this." After some more reflection, my answer is the only right answer for the 90's.

Re: Retro-Arcade Sheep - Hyper Warp Edition
I couldn't think of a single good answer for the buttons only question. I went with something far less conventional. I'd be pretty surprised if I get matched.

Re: Retro-Arcade Sheep - Hyper Warp Edition
For many of these questions I could only think of one answer. And on almost as many, I wasn't even sure about that one answer.

Re: Retro-Arcade Sheep - Hyper Warp Edition
Answers in. I haven't done a sheep game in a few years. I always hated fighting games, so those will kill me if anything does.
Also, I think this is my first time ever in the Video Game Forum. Hell, I've been in the Book Forum a few times, at least.

Re: Retro-Arcade Sheep - Hyper Warp Edition
Answers sent. This was REALLY hard. Not because I couldn't come up with any answers, but because I didn't know which era would be more popular. I kind of split the difference with some 80's and some 90's, but I don't feel really good about it.

Re: Retro-Arcade Sheep - Hyper Warp Edition
Holy crap. I will be sending answers.
Edit: For questions 10 and 19 (and 21), doesn't the wording of the question imply only one correct answer? What is the measure of "most popular"? Box office for 19? Coin revenue for 10? Will all other answers be counted wrong?

There are no wrong answers. Only stupid ones.
