Evil Evil Genius has been infected by the story virus!
He attempts to kill the damn thing once and for all, ties up threads, etc.

Arcade Quiz (Swords ‘N Sorcery)
I’m going to strike while the iron is still hot!
It’s time for another arcade sound quiz! This may very well be the last one (but one never knows, I guess).
All of these games share a common theme.
Each game has some degree of medieval swords ‘n sorcery flavor. If you knew any geeks in high school that were into Dungeons and Dragons, or you yourself were that geek, there’s something for you in each of these games.
I’ll give you the year the game came out, along with the sound sample.
May King Arthur himself guide your fair steed! What, too much?
Sword 1 (1982)
One of my all-time favorite games. If I would have waited around a little longer in the sound sample, you would have heard a scary-ass pterodactyl.
Sword 2 (1983)
This wasn’t a joystick game — it was point-and-shoot. I sucked at it. ‘Nuff said.
Sword 3 (1985)
Not only did I suck horribly at this game, but everybody else did too. The makers of this game should be kicked in the shins for how hard they made it.
Sword 4 (1985)
This is a fun multiplayer game (up to four people at once!). I’m not sure if it was cool to be the Elf or not. I probably watched other people play the game more than playing it myself.
Sword 5 (1987)
I was really terrible at this game, but it was kind of addictive. For some reason, one of the monsters you had to fight threw juggling pins at you. I still have no idea why.
Sword 6 (1989)
I had a lot of fun playing this game, though its sequel was even more fun. And you haveta love those death screams. Oh, baybee!
