Cryptic33

Hmm, please note some questions have more than one right answer. Therefore, copying someone else's answers may be a bad move.
Additionally, I will allow a little leeway if I feel a real effort has been made. I accept some of you will struggle with some seemingly difficult questions. I haven't said you can't ask a question for example 😉 but, whether I answer or how I answer may, or may not, be helpful. Don't think too hard about this, just have a go. There will be more than one winner!!!

My answers in RED. All from my own memory, no internet searches!

1. True or False: At the time of launch, the Jaguar was the most powerful cartridge based system in the world!
Hmm, not sure. Was it more powerful than the NEO GEO...?
2. Name a fighting game other than Kasumi Ninja
Fight for Life. Is Ultra Vortek another one?
3. Name a driving game other than Chequered Flag
Power Drive Rally. I'm also thinking Super Burn Out
4. Optional question: What is the ironic connection between the Jaguar, the PS4 and X-Box ONE? (Question edited for clarity)
Do they all have a 64bit data bus? lol.
5. In full or by abbreviation, what is the name of the best multi-platform forum on the net?
I imagine this could be RVG!
6. In less than 1993 words, why have you entered this competition (this could be a competition clincher) - hint: keep it short
I do fancy a copy of that Gamers Guide but its also fun to search the old memory banks and dig out some dusty cerebral info. No Googling!
7. 2 in 1: In what country was the Jaguar designed, in what country was the Jaguar built?
I'm guessing it was designed in the US and made in Taiwan
8. The Jaguar has three chips, a Motorola 68000 and two others, name them.
Tom and Jerry!
9. Which Jaguar game title is your favourite and why?
Alien Vs Predator.  I was 13 when I had my Jag and my older cousin was off work with shingles. He came round and asked if he could borrow the Jag whilst he was off on the proviso he bought me a game. I gladly agreed (knowing how much the games were). A few days later he took me to a games shop and nearly passed out when I picked up AvP for £55! I knew exactly what I wanted lol. He stumped up the cash though so fair play to him. I still have it.
10. How many buttons are there on a standard controller?
18 I reckon unless the d-pad is classed as 4 so 21 in that case.
11. Name one of the games for the system which does not have music during gameplay (the clever gits can give a less obvious answer)
Doom and Cybermorph
12. Optional question: How many feet does a Jaguar have?
They have long tails so I'd say around 7 feet...
13. (Just for fun) What, if any, is the significance of April 18th - Note: not Jaguar related and board Admins and Moderators are not allowed to answer but may give hints 😉I
Is it some sort of anniversary? Not sure.
14. Because I am a little superstitious, here is the final question; which Jaguar game title was designed around the VR peripheral?
I'm going to say Missile Command.

Final note and NOT the answer to question 13, the winners will be announced on the 18th April 2017 subject to me being available and not drunk 😉

OK, here are my answers:

[spoiler]
1. True or False: At the time of launch, the Jaguar was the most powerful cartridge based system in the world!
True
2. Name a fighting game other than Kasumi Ninja
Ultra Vortek
3. Name a driving game other than Chequered Flag
World Tour Racing
4. Optional question: What is the ironic connection between the Jaguar and the PS3?
Both use custom chips that make them hard to program for.
5. In full or by abbreviation, what is the name of the best multi-platform forum on the net?
Trick question, no?  Only one answer: RVG
6. In less than 1993 words, why have you entered this competition (this could be a competition clincher) - hint: keep it short
Because this is about Atari’s great black cat.  Do I need another reason? ;)

8. The Jaguar has three chips, a Motorola 68000 and two others, name them.
Tom & Jerry.
9. Which Jaguar game title is your favourite and why?
Raiden.  It is a great arcade port and vertical shooters are games that I enjoy a lot. This one not only looks great, it sounds great as well.

Three action buttons (C-B-A), one Option button, one Pause button, twelve keypad buttons for a total of 17.

I can’t answer this one (not allowed). ;)

Well, I must say that I am very impressed with some of those answers. Equally so that you all try to answer from memory. This competition is going well but I suspect you will all groan a little when all of the real answers are revealed.

Thanks guys 👹

I'll be sure to wear some padding so it doesn't hurt that much.  LOL

Last chance folks! In say 12 hours from now the competition will end and Trek can test his padding 😉
