The third set of VG Jeopardy is being organized! The game will start August 29th at 3 pm EST, again on AIM chat! The format will more closely resemble the TV show, in that there will be TWO rounds(Jeopardy and Double Jeopardy, including the infamous Daily Double!), along with a Final Jeopardy round to cap things off.

Categories are still being organized at this moment, but for those who are interested in checking it out, send a PM my way!

RPG-Mania for $100, Alex.

Answer:
Far from being the last, it seems this iconic series will never end.

Answer:
Far from being the last, it seems this iconic series will never end.

What is Final Fantasy?

Correct! Next choice, avilslare?

Opposite Games for $100

Rain Sisters

Who are the Snow Brothers?

Excellent, arthurgolden! Glad you could join us.:D Your choice please?

I wouldn't miss another opportunity to not get any work done today. =)

I'll take Opposite Games for $200.

*laughs*

Single Lizard

What is Double Dragon?

BTW Thanks for running this game.

Correct, for 200 arthur! Next choice.

I'll go with Opposite Games for $300.

Very well then.

Right 2 Life

Left for Dead?

If that's correct, I'll take Opposite Games for $400.

It is correct, and your answer:

Ordinary Woman

Who is Superman?

If that's correct, I'll stick it out with Opposite Games and try for $500.

Ooh, no I'm sorry arthur.

Avilslare, you still there and care to venture a guess?

Oh, I think I know what it is now...

Damn.

Ooh, no I'm sorry arthur.

Avilslare, you still there and care to venture a guess?

I don't know.

*tone sounds* Times up, the answer was Mega Man.

Arthur, you indicated Opposite Games for $500, so here's your answer:

Noisy Mountain

What is Silent Hill?

Ah, Mega Man. My second guess was going to be Wonder Boy.

Correct avilslare! What category would you like?

Ah, Mega Man. My second guess was going to be Wonder Boy.

I almost said Mushroom Men... I know, dumb.


Correct avilslare! What category would you like?

The Horror, The Horror for $100

And your answer is:

This game features an unusually 'snappy' weapon as you battle ghosts in a haunted mansion

What is Fatal Frame?

What is Castlevania?

avilslare was quicker to respond, and correct to boot. Your show still, avil.

I had a feeling that 'snappy' would catch some people's attention.

The Horror, The Horror for $200 please.

I had a feeling that 'snappy' would catch some people's attention.

I swear, the first thing that popped into my head was a crocodile. :p

*laughs*

This game only had a single letter for its title.

A crocodile would have made more sense than my guess, now that I know the answer. :p


What is D?

Correct arthur! Which category?

RPG-mania for $200 please

Your answer:

This game had you strategically lead a small army into battle, but watch out: death is permanent.

What is Suikoden? In both 1 and 2 you lead armies and cannot resurrect anyone who dies in the battles. And they're RPGs.

I'm afraid that's incorrect arthur.

Avil?

I have no f'n clue.

*tone sounds* What is Fire Emblem?

Arthur, you're up.

I'll go with RPG-mania for $300.

And the answer is:

With its first game featuring a female protagonist, this series has continued successfully blending sci-fi and fantasy elements.

What is Phantasy Star?

Well done, avislare! Your choice.

The Horror, The Horror for $300

Alright, here's your answer:

This game played by its own horror rules, at one time making you think your save data was being deleted!

What is Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem?

Correct. Next choice?

The Horror, The Horror for $400

This game gave us not just iconic shamblers, but many other monsters...created by all-too-human monsters

What is Nightmare Creatures?

Ooh, I'm sorry avil.

arthur, you have a guess?

No idea.

*tone sounds* I guess not. What is Resident Evil?

Still your game, avil.

EDIT: I gotta start watching for those last minute answers...lol

The Horror, The Horror for $500

Answer:

A vampire was your main target in this game, but he had a castle full of monsters to keep you out.

What is Castlevania?

Trying it again...

What is Castlevania?

Hm, seems so obvious. (Is it a trap?)

Correct arthur! So what's your pleasure?

[Yeah, the 'castle' part was a little TOO obvious...maybe I'll have to adjust it if I use this again.]

Hmm...I'll try The Fast and The Furry-ous for $100.

Very well then:

This character got a lot of hype(and a pseudo-controversy over no pants), but even 9 lives didn't get him the popularity of Sonic and Mario.

Eiko Carol, lawl XD

Who is Conker?

I'm sorry Neg and avil, you're both incorrect. Welcome to the game btw Neg.:)

arthur?

What is Bubsy? He was a cat who was hyped and he had no pants, but I don't remember a controversy. Maybe I missed it.

Did you really need to call me out when it was clearly a joke?

You are correct, arthur. There was a pseudo controversy, but maybe it was only limited to EGM(which was one of two magazines I got at the time).

Where do you want to go next?

Hey, sorry Neg. Some people like to join in a game with a joke. You don't want to play, all you gotta do is say so. Sorry about the confusion.

The Fast and The Furry-ous for $200 please.

Answer is:

This team of animals came with a special chip in their game, which allowed 3D polygons to be rendered on consoles

What is Star Fox?

Correct!

Star Fox was a team name?

Yeah...the leader's actual name was Fox McCloud, but as you seem to have thought, most called HIM Star Fox.

Star Fox was a team name?

Yeah. That threw me, too.

The Fast and The Furry-ous for $300 please.

Answer:

This unusual animal led the Sony Playstation into its niche, becoming their mascot as he battled two evil, polluting doctors

Who is Crash Bandicoot?

What is Crash Bandicoot?

Another close one, but avil wins the draw. What would you like, avil?

The Italian Connection for $100

Here's your answer:

Mario obviously didn't like being a villain; after this game, he never was again.

What is Donkey Kong, Jr.?

Correct! Where to next, arthur?

The Fast and Furry-ous for $400, please.

Here goes:

This duo searched far and wide for puzzle pieces to get them into the castle of a rhyming witch obsessed with beauty.

What is Banjo-Kazooie?

Ooh, we have a tight race here! Your call Avil.

RPG-Mania for $400

Here you go:

The protagonists in this series always have a link to each other

What is the Legend of Zelda?

Correct! The dead heat continues! You're up arthur.

Ooo, I feel a "what makes a game an rpg" argument coming on.

Ooo, I feel a "what makes a game an rpg" argument coming on.

Don't worry, that was just a joke.

Ooo, I feel a "what makes a game an rpg" argument coming on.

Ha. We may get a visit from Prak before this is all over.

The Fast and Furry-ous for $500.

Ha. We may get a visit from Prak before this is all over.


Shh, don't say his name for you may have summoned him. :ashine:

Hey, I freely acknowledge that I have one or two gray areas as far as RPGs go.

Answer:

These fighting animals were ruthless in getting their paws on the Belt of Heavens championship

Shh, don't say his name for you may have summoned him. :ashine:

I thought you had to say his name three times? *smirk*

What is Brutal: Paws of Fury?

What is Brutal: Paws of Fury?

Ooh, so close, but avil wins it.

The Italian Connection for $200

This is ludicrous how close to simultaneously we're answering these.

This is ludicrous how close to simultaneously we're answering these.

Are you using the Quick Reply like I am?

Yeah.

LOL, I have to agree arthur. It's livening up the game, IMO.

Answer:

This was Mario's first edu-tainment game, featuring flyswatting and music, among other things.

What is Mario Paint?

EDIT: Although weren't Mario is Missing and Mario's Time Machine earlier, Mario-themed educational games?

What is Mario Paint?

Correct arthur, though I agree the answer needs to be tweaked a bit to get the correct response.

Your call.

The Italian Connection for $300

Answer:

Many fans were surprised at the size of Mario's(then stolen)estate in this game.

What is Mario 64?

Sorry, avil.

Sorry, avil.

Ah geez, what I didn't add Super to the title?

A game where Mario's land is stolen? In Super Mario 64, it's Peach's castle--not Mario's. I give up.

*laughs* Nah, that wasn't it. It was "What is Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins?"

Still your game, arthur.

These simultaneous posts are getting silly. I already answered.

Yeah, I saw that and used the edit feature. Your call arthur.

My bad. The Italian Connection for $400.

Okie dokie:

This former wrestler provided live-action humor as the pizza loving Italian plumber.

Who is Captain Lou Albano?

Who is Lou Albano?

Wow, the simultaneous posts continue. Avil scores the next choice.

RPG-mania for $500

And the answer is:

Loosely based on a Chinese novel, this series has an impressive cast: over 100 characters!

What is Suikoden V?

EDIT: Which I've never played, but I knew because I just started watching a walkthrough (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWEHBiOZMQQ&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fuser%2FASephir oth&feature=player_profilepage) the other day.

I didn't even get a chance to see the clue before you answered. Though I still wouldn't have known it.

Correct, arthur, though a specific entry wasn't necessary.

Okay, since there's only one choice left, here's the answer:

Mario had an easy job in this game...just count to 10.

What is Mario's Early Years: Fun with Numbers?

Incorrect, arthur.

No idea.

It was "What is Mike Tyson's Punch Out?"

Okay gentleman, looks like this round goes to avilslare. Congrats! Perhaps at another time, I'll resurrect this game, but for now, I think we all need a break. *grin*

Thanks for the interest, I really appreciate it.

Final score

arthurgolden: 1700
avilslare: 2100

It was "What is Mike Tyson's Punch Out?"

Of course! Looks like my wrong guesses cost me. Good game avilslare, and thanks to ChazA4 for running it.

:smrt:

Yeah, that was fun. I wouldn't mind doing that again.

The hardest part was going the distance. I mean, the game lasted 5 hours.

Hoping this isn't against the rules, but I'm providing a bump to this thread. Please read the first post for info.

One more bump. Again, info in first post

in VG Jeopardy 2
Moderated by ChazA4


*Blood will be spilled.

The round has ended! Arthurgolden managed to pull out in the lead early and sat comfortably as his opponents came close, but didn't quite overtake him. As said before, thanks to my contestants and our lone observer(my fiancee). Hope to see others there next time, and next time it will run longer(2 rounds, perhaps even a Final Jeopardy round).

Bumpage. Please check the first post for details

Final bump for this round; again, check the first post for details.

We are about to get started with the first round. If anyone wants to join in or just watch, go to http://chat.aim.com/chats/private-rooms/vg-jeopardy. You can jump in late if you want, too.

Okay, the final score, after two rounds and Final Jeopardy, is as follows:

BNX - 11000
arthur - 0
Rahir - 1300

Very tight and exciting game with surprises galore. Hopefully next time, we can have more participants or spectators!

History will remember me as a laughingstock.
