December Quiz - Answers & Score
The year is over, once again you all have solved every video game riddle posted here. For last month this includes every possible outcome, from 1 to 25 points, and exactly ONE person figured out every single game... who might this be? ^_^
There was something special about the december quiz, as it was built from the genres you named as your favourites in the previous round. How did this turn out? Next to every game in the answers below is a "favourite genre of" entry, which specifies which users picked this genre. Behind every username is a symbol, which means one of the following:
(+) this user guessed the game from his genre correctly and gets a bonus point!
(-) this user didn't find out the game from his genre and loses a point!
(0) this user had above 20 or below 5 points, no points were applied.
(x) this user was a no show and didn't join this round.
