Weren’t there two in that game? The first is captured and force choked by Vader, the second killed when his corvette blows up in hyperspace.
[/QUOTE]

The first actually defects to the Rebel Alliance, but the second merely commits mutiny and tries to take over the Empire.

Bo Jackson.

Video game Barry Sanders was VERY good in the same year. After that, it might be Michael Vick in the Madden game in which he was the cover boy.

How appropriate, you fight like a cow.

  1. Admiral Harkov (and Admiral Zarin attempted to usurp the imperial throne).

  2. Jackets

I’ve been gaming for over fifteen years and I’ve only got about five of these questions right! Okay, my contribution:

  1. The Underground Underground - is it a transport system or a political movement?

Can I say ass? Well too bad, I’m saying it anyway!

Standard trivia format, here, You’re on the honor system to only answer if you know it, no looking things up. You answer one, you can post one…or just post one even if you didn’t answer one, we’re pretty casual here.

  1. What is the most annoying enemy in the Castlevania series? (and before you say this is a matter of opinion…no, trust me, there is no other more hated non-boss enemy than this one.)

  2. If I were to say “grumble grumble,” what would you do?

  3. He turned him into a frog, but now they fight along side each other.

  4. Space hamster?

  5. What gets reticulated?

  6. Which Metroid game comes first (within the world of Metroid,) and which one comes last?

  7. Why couldn’t we wear capes at first?

  8. What Imperial admiral defected to the Rebel Alliance?

  9. What level does the warp in world 1-3 in Super Mario Brothers 2 take you?

  10. Sonic the Hedgehog spawned two animated series. What was the main differences between them?

    I haven’t looked at the other posts because I wanted to answer these for myself:

  11. What is the most annoying enemy in the Castlevania series? (and before you say this is a matter of opinion…no, trust me, there is no other more hated non-boss enemy than this one.)

I’m guessing the bats that hang from the ceiling. They always come at you right when you’re trying to make a difficult jump.

  1. If I were to say “grumble grumble,” what would you do?

Feed you meat. Now get outta my way! :slight_smile:

  1. He turned him into a frog, but now they fight along side each other.

Magus turned Glenn into a frog, and if you make the right decision, you can have them both in your party.

I propose this question in turn: Nearly every game in the series has at least one tech-savvy character with this name.

Dammit, that was the one I should have remembered and several others beat me to “reticulating splines”.

Cid in Final Fantasy. First appeared in IIIj, is a scientist or engineer in every game except VIII, where he’s headmaster of the SeeD academy in Balam, and maybe XI, where I don’t know if there’s a Cid.

Another Final Fantasy question:

Which iconic Final Fantasy…icon first appeared in a difference Squaresoft series, and which series?

Yes!

Another one:

  1. (I think 55?) Which Legend of Zelda games are DIRECT sequels (as in, starring the same Link and taking place right after,) an existing Legend of Zelda game? And which game were they a direct sequel too?

Oooh, goody, I’m an expert on this.

Link’s Awakening (GB) was a sequel to Link to the Past (SNES)
Majora’s Mask (N64) was a sequel to Ocarina of Time (N64)
Phantom Hourglass (NDS) was a sequel to Windwaker (GC)

I think Four Swords is a supposed sequel to another game, but I can’t remember which one. Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons are not-quite sequels of each other, they’re more like Pokemon Red and Blue (or any of the myriad color pairs).

It is possible to put all the Zelda games save Minish Cap into a single continuity (and even Minish Cap has elements of Ocarina of Time in it), although there is some ambiguity, but it’s hinted that the core games (Zelda, Zelda 2, Ocarina, Windwaker, Twilight Princess) take place centuries apart, so they can’t really be considered sequels of each other.

I freaking SWEAR it’s Cloud, but either all the pot in high school has addled my brain, or Wikipedia has failed me.

[/QUOTE]

Pretty good, but Zelda II is, in fact, a sequel to Legend of Zelda. Other than that, it looks good.

And aside from that, just about the only info we have for the games as they relate to each other is that Wind Waker/Phantom Hourglass takes place centuries after Ocarina/Majora’s Mask, and that Link to the Past/Link’s Awakening takes place sometime before Legend of Zelda/Zelda II.

AFAIK, there’s no real evidence where Oracle of Ages/Seasons and Minish Cap fall (I think Four Sword Adventures might also be a sequel to Link to the Past…but the near identical style might just be throwing me for a loop.)

  1. There is a small mailbox here. What’s in it?

  2. “You put the ladder in your pocket. Ouch.” Which series?

[/QUOTE]

  1. I have no idea. The mailbox is closed. If one were to “open mailbox”, however, one would likely see a pamphlet.

38)Based on sheer dryness of answer, I have to guess Zork.

Nope, Cloud appeared in several other games AFTER his appearance in FFVII - putting him in a rather large group, since Square revels in that sort of fanservice - but never appeared before it.

Just as a hint, it’s not a character, or anything as massively generic as airships.

98

When you say it’s not a character, do you mean it’s not a playable character, or it’s not any kind of creature at all?

[/QUOTE]

It’s not a specific person - it’s not a PC or NPC from any of the games. It could be a monster, a non human species that’s given us a PC or NPC (Moogle, Viera, Ronso, Guado, Hypello, etc), or a summon…or it could be an inanimate object, a spell, or whathaveyou.

But, having looked it up, I may in fact, be wrong…I’m getting conflicting timelines for the debuts in each series.
