Lightning Round Results

--

Hint:
1. Was a popular multiplayer game. Received a sequel one year later, which was also popular. Then the series didn't get any new games after that.

Answers:
Left 4 Dead - 3
Star Wars Battlefront - 1
Snowboard Kids - 1

Left 4 Dead hit right before zombies started saturating the market, and it was one of the first games to do ton of enemies on-screen at once. That combined with stellar map design made for a lot of fun.

Snowboard Kids was an amazing guess considering Snowboard Kids 2 would have been in this category...if I'd remembered it. Played the heck out of that game when I was younger.

Hint:
2. My favorite Bomberman game. Released between 1996 and 2003.

Answers:
Bomberman 64: The Second Attack - 2
Bomberman 64 - 2
Saturn Bomberman - 1

The Second Attack rules. It's got unique elemental bombs, great level design, music by the composers of Chrono Trigger/Cross and Shadow Hearts, a plot with actual twists, and a final boss straight out of a JRPG. Shame it flew under the radar.

Hint:
3. A glitch made a fan-favorite character like to eat rocks. They were one of the best gifts to give her to raise affection.

Answers:
Stardew Valley - 5

Never change, Abby.

Hint:
4. Had a good run of three games, then got an awful 4th one that took the wind out of the series, although it still continued for a bit afterwards. Choose any of those first three. No, it isn't Ace Attorney.

Answers:
Spyro the Dragon - 2
Mega Man Battle Network - 1
Contra - 1
RollerCoaster Tycoon - 1

As a kid, I received MMBN4 as a gift from a close family friend. It made me feel bad that they wasted their money. MMBN2/3 are great, although I'm willing to let my nostalgia do the talking there and not replay them to test that.

Hint:
5. In this strategy game, you control an elite squad - but thanks to the wonders of RNG, it can feel more like a pack of morons. Why are you aiming your rocket launcher at your feet?! There was only a 5% chance of that happening!

Answers:
XCOM: Enemy Unknown - 4
XCOM 2 - 1

Have not played XCOM 2, actually. Got my fill from the first game. It's fun...except when it's not.

Two people scored a 4/5, which makes AxemRedRanger and DanKirby the winners of this round! Hints for the next round will be posted tomorrow.
