Quiz Description

A quiz on the greatest video game series of all time, that just concluded (probably) after 28 years, giving it a longer lifespan than Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain and Janis Joplin, and producing better music than the three of them combined. This quiz is designed to be fun and interesting to those who are not yet fans of the series, but you're not going to win it unless you know your knowledge of the series is as Solid as Snake himself. Questions will also cover Hideo Kojima's other games, his influences, and other assorted pieces of information.
