    Ok guys here is a fun little concept I came up with - a quiz called Retro Relations!

    You will see a series of games listed and all you have to do is get the relationship between each set of games!

    Some will be easy and some will be rock hard! I will award 10 points for the winner, 5 for the runner up and 2 points for 3rd.

    Here is an easy example:

     

    Donkey Kong - Atari XL/XE                                                Mike Tyson's Punch Out - Nintendo NES

    Answer: Both games feature Mario

    Gridrunner and Tempest 3000 were made by Jeff Minter! :)

    The Muncher and Zool 2 were published by Gremlin.

    I´m curious to know what had to do the Falcon with the PS2...


    Don't be surprised, my broken English is legendary!

    KC Munchkin and Giana Sisters similarity to more successful titles led to lawsuits that caused the games to be pulled from stores.

    OK, let me give it a try.

    Zool 2 and The Muncher are both games by Gremlin Graphics (like Alberto said)

    Night Driver and Night Trap - Rob Funlop worked on both games.

    KC Munchkin and Giana Sisters - I'm with tomwaits on this one.  Lawsuits by Atari and Nintendo, respectively, got the games pulled from the market.

    Gridrunner and Tempest 3000 - neither game play real homage to the games they were inspired by.

    Still checking the last two.
