What better way to celebrate the upcoming holidays than with a quiz all about a brooding vampire hunter that brutally kills mythical beasts by whipping them to death or stabbing them in the face? Merry Christmas, everyone!
If you couldn’t figure it out from the gruesome description above, this week’s Great Retro Quiz is all about the originalCastlevaniafor theNintendo Entertainment System. Truly classic, timeless games are great quiz categories, as everyone goes into them thinking they know so much more than they really do. You can’t hear me, but I am laughing maniacally right now.
Do you eat pot roasts to regain energy after a long, hard day? Do you knock over all the candles in your house, thinking they contain useful items? If so, you will probably do very well on this week’s quiz.
Just leave your answers in the comments and whoever gets the most right will win! (In the event of a tie, don’t forget to answer the non-multiple choice tie-breaker question, as it will decide the winner.) This week’s prize is a ridiculously awesomeSimon Belmont 8-bit action figure. Check mycommunity blogtomorrow (12/20) for the correct answers and the hair-raising results.
Tie some garlic cloves around your neck, hit the jump, and … good luck!
