So, crazy news: I got a part time job hosting a weekly video game trivia contest at a local barcade! Each night will consist of five rounds, the first four having a particular theme, and the fifth being a grab bag of fiendishly difficult questions. I’d like to give you the opportunity to write some questions for Round 5.
If you like, you can view the list of questions in progress here.
Name of the characters from House of the Dead 2/Typing of the Dead
a lot of those seem pretty tough already!
here’s a few that seem less tough to me but may not be:

name any three members of the kong family other than donkey kong

My first suggested question was “What was the first game system designed and marketed for use in cars?”
