I’m going to strike while the iron is still hot!<\/p>\n

It’s time for another arcade sound quiz! This may very well be the last one (but one never knows, I guess).<\/p>\n

All of these games share a common theme.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>, or you yourself were that geek, there’s something for you in each of these games.<\/p>\n

I’ll give you the year the game came out, along with the sound sample. <\/p>\n

May King Arthur himself guide your fair steed! What, too much?<\/p>\n

Sword 1<\/a> (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.<\/p>\n

Sword 2<\/a> (1983)
This wasn’t a joystick game — it was point-and-shoot. I sucked at it. ‘Nuff said.<\/p>\n

Sword 3<\/a> (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.<\/p>\n

Sword 4<\/a> (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.<\/p>\n

Sword 5<\/a> (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.<\/p>\n

Sword 6<\/a> (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!<\/p>\n
