So I figured I could do my own.

For what its worth I would refrain from subjective trivia questions like "most critically acclaimed" titles.  There's enough fun video game minutiae out there can be fact-checked.

 

That said, these were fun and thanks for making them!  You should do it weekly!

Thanks for your opinions. Maybe I'll do some more if this turns out popular!

Thanks for all this interest in one dumb quiz, guys!

The answers are...

1: Sony PlayStation 2. It sold over 155 million units worldwide!

2: According to the Guinness Book of World Records, BotW is the most critically acclaimed open world game, scoring 97.3% from 61 reviews.

3: Ready Player One got it all wrong. Adventure did not contain the first ever digital easter egg. Colossal Cave Adventure from 1976 for the PDP-10 had it.

4: Mario was originally known as Jumpman when he debuted as the hero in the 1981 Nintendo classic "Donkey Kong". By the way, before princess toadstool came along, his love interest was Pauline(kidnapped by Donkey Kong), and she returns in Super Mario Odyssey as the mayor of New Donk City.

5: The Tiger Telematics(not to be confused with Tiger Electronics) Gizmondo is the worst selling game platform ever, with less than 25000 units sold. Tiger Telematics was sued by Ferrari and was in a giant mess involving the mafia. It's best selling game was called "Sticky Balls", which pretty much sums up the story of this handheld:)
