If you're in Canberra - tonight (Friday), at the Holy Grail in Civic, starting at 8 pm, there's apparently a video game trivia night. Myself and some others will be competing. Fun for all the family, providing that all your family are hardcore gamers.
Just to whet your appetite, here's a few questions I've whipped up myself, which I can only assume will be harder than those posed at the trivia night. Yes, you could google the answers, but that would make you a Bad Person (TM).
1) Who is the mayor of Metro City?
2) From Double Dragon, name both the heroes (either of their two alternative names will do), and also the girlfriend who was kidnapped.
3) In Mortal Kombat II, which character's friendship move involved presenting the opponent with an autographed photo?
4) In the Wing Commander series, what was Maniac's real name?
5) In Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City, San Andreas, and Liberty City Stories, what happens when you shoot at the moon with a sniper rifle?
6) What song plays over the opening cinematic of Fallout? (And for bonus points, who provides the voice-over for this scene?)
7) Tex Murphy: Overseer is the fifth and final installment in a series that features which four other games?
8) What does SCUMM stand for?
9) Who was the 7th Guest? (name required)
10) What numerical designation did Guilty Spark possess?
Thanks for playing!

Number 6 is "Maybe", performed by the Ink Spots.
Well called on the song. Any takers for the voice over?
2) Billy and Jimmy. Don't remember the name of the girlfriend. This is a guess, but wasn't their surname Lee?
3) I think that was Johnny Cage. He's the kind of crappy character who would have that as a friendship.
Two points for Matt. Still waiting to hear the girlfriend's name (first name only, as her last name has changed every time it's appeared).
I would have also accepted "Hammer" and "Spike".
Fallout voiceover was Ron Perlman, I think.
Point for Stu!
By the way, we didn't win the trivia night. We got stumped identifying a symbol that turned out to represent the Homeworld games, didn't recognise the themes from Doom and Duke Nukem 3D, and had a brain spasm remembering the name of the guy who designed Leisure Suit Larry. Nutsacks.
