I definitely recognise a few of the other quotes, but not enough to have been able to even guess the franchise. Names just not coming to me.

CastorTroy

Spoiler Warning

Of the ones not answered

Spoiler Warning

10. I know it's answered already but just had to call it Lylat Wars. 😃

13. Cannon Fodder

Well seems I found a new feature of the site. At least one I haven't seen before. I don't have a spoiler tag on that first line yet it appears as a spoiler.

Retr0gamer

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122497292#Comment_122497292

That's name I've not heard in a long time. I was just thinking that it's never referred to that anymore, Americanization of history.

And the second one it correct.

CastorTroy

Spoiler Warning

I got the big box with the rumble pak. How could I forget. Though could've at least called it Starwing 64.

Penn

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122497292#Comment_122497292

Same happened me with the spoiler tags. For some reason when I first posted, the bottom 8 or so on my list were all in spoiler tags within the main spoiler tag. After I edited them out, I now have a blank spoiler box at the top that I can't get rid of. And now the text I'm currently typing is a different font but will likely appear normal once I've posted. This site is hilarious at times…

McFly85

Spoiler Warning

8 - Metal Slug! Can’t believe I forgot that one.

28 is going to bother me because I know the quote but can’t place it at all.

Retr0gamer

Correct

Number 28 is an old game.

If you need a hint I'll spoiler the platform below:

Spoiler Warning

Commodore 64, although it has conversions to Amiga and master system.

Impossible Mission

^^^ spoiler tags no longer work that way. You have to highlight the text, click the Paragraph-type button (don't know what it's called, the backwards P thingy) at the side of the text box, then the inverted commas, then click Spoiler.

Interesting fact… the quote is also seen in scrolling text on the first Dizzy game (On the trap level that you can't escape from underneath the room with the cauldron and the flask of troll brew).

Retr0gamer

I've bolded the ones that were answered. Nearly there but there's some tough ones left.

Niska

Spoiler Warning

12 - Final Fantasy 12

18 - Klingon Academy (wild stab in the dark as it mentions Praxis

Retr0gamer

The first is correct.

Not Klingon Academy. It's not star trek related.

Penn

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122498025#Comment_122498025

Is the first correct?

Spoiler Warning

I knew it from the meme but had no chance of thinking of the name, so I looked it up after I posted my answers. It's from Zero Wing

Ten of Swords

12

Zero wing

39

Castlevania 2

48

One of the monkey island games (escape from?)

Ill give you 48

It's from the original monkey island

The rest are spot on

Retr0gamer

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122498136#Comment_122498136

Sorry, I think the poster meant 15 not 12 so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt there.

It's hard to keep up.

Retr0gamer

9 to go for if I can count properly.

Edit: 10. I can't count.

nix

Can we get a new list with what's guessed crossed off? 😄

Retr0gamer

I bolded the ones that have been guessed. I can make a new list if it's easier to read when I get a chance.

Retr0gamer

1. "Back in your hole!"
2. "I wanna take you for a ride!"
3. "Complete global saturation!"
4. "I'm gonna kill praxis!"
5. "Clyde Radcliffe Exterminates All The Unfriendly Repulsive Earth-ridden Slime"
6. "I am error."
7. "Welcome to DIE!"
8. "I can't take this…"
9. "Love is easy by the light of day. You get the boys to play away. Thoughts are down when darkness falls. Passion burns and danger calls."
10. "Now it's Reyn time!"

Retr0gamer

Do people want hints for the last 10?

Niska

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122498342#Comment_122498342

Opps - yes I did. Sorry for any confusion.

Penn

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122500963#Comment_122500963

Think you're going to have to. Some of the remaining quotes feel nearly too generic that they're too hard to place ("I can't take this…")

Retr0gamer

1. Back in your hole!"
2. "I wanna take you for a ride!"
3. "Complete global saturation!"
4. "I'm gonna kill praxis!"
5. "Clyde Radcliffe Exterminates All The Unfriendly Repulsive Earth-ridden Slime"
6. "I am error."
7. "Welcome to DIE!"
8. "I can't take this…"
9. "Love is easy by the light of day. You get the boys to play away. Thoughts are down when darkness falls. Passion burns and danger calls."
10. "Now it's Reyn time!"

Here are the clues.

Spoiler Warning

1. This is a Microsoft IP

2. These are song lyrics from a cross over

3. A quote from a famous horror villain

4. This is from a big PlayStation IP we haven't seen in a long time

5. One of the tougher ones but I'll say it's from a late Commodore 64 game and that the quote pretty much gives it away if you know the secret to it.

6. This is a famous quote from a very famous Nintendo IP.

7. This is from an arcade game with two screens and supported 6 players.

8. You might find this on the ground from players having a hard time

9. Song lyrics from a game that was involved in a massive controversy that lead to videogames having age ratings.

10. This is from a very popular RPG series that started on Wii and has had games on every Nintendo consoles since. It's also represented in smash. If you played the game this will be burned into you head. If you haven't then you owe it to yourself to play it.

Retr0gamer

I hope you are kicking yourselves you didn't get some of these.

Penn

Spoiler Warning

• 1. Gears of War

8. Dark Souls

9. Night Trap

1 & 9 are guesses but I'd be pretty confident. 8 I get now. Don't think I'm going to get any of the others.

McFly85

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122505648#Comment_122505648

Think I got 6 originally?

You did sorry. I missed that.

Retr0gamer

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122505698#Comment_122505698

All three are correct.

5. Guessing from the capitalisation, it's called Creatures.

10. Xenoblade

Retr0gamer

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122505999#Comment_122505999

Both correct.

Retr0gamer

1. "I wanna take you for a ride!"
2. "Complete global saturation!"
3. "I'm gonna kill praxis!"
4. "Welcome to DIE!"

Four left.

Retr0gamer

Ok more clues

Spoiler Warning

1. Song lyrics from a cross over fighting game.

2. Said by a horror villain in a massive horror franchise that's already been on this list.

3. From a big Sony IP that started and ended on PS2 after a few games.

4. Six player arcade game with a comic book license.

Retr0gamer
