...that isn't a very good test.

You shouldn't go from 'which one of these is the nondescript FPS we're looking for?' to 'which fighting game is the one with Scorpion in?' and 'which Mario-type platforming game that has Mario in is the one that has Mario in it?' It's dumb.

42/50

What I missed:
Never heard of Bulletstorm.
I've played TimeSplitters 2 & it looked nothing like this.
Never heard of Battlefield 1.
Never heard of Zeno Clash.
Never heard of Crysis.
How the crap am I supposed to distinguish the MAPS of the gen-1 Pokemon games from each other!?
Never actually seen Far Cry gameplay before.
Never actually seen Serious Sam gameplay before.

I got Mega Man 2 right, but I'm pretty freaking sure the game doesn't actually feature cardboard cutouts of NES sprites standing around casting shadows in a big white photorealistic room.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

^ I think the colors are different for Pokemon Yellow than in Red & Blue, at least in some areas, not sure about Viridian Forest where that image is from.

Another weird thing is I believe they used Street Fighter V (or maybe even some type of mock-up/prototype image) when asking about the original Street Fighter. Along with the Mega Man image, I'm thinking this quiz may have been designed through AI or something.

I got 43/50. I only got that high because I was able to deduce which FPS games were which sometimes despite not playing them.

I actually missed Pole Position, it was the only classic I messed up.
