Videogame quotes thingy: answers

6 out of 10 guessed in (almost) 24 hours. Not bad! And it even brought people over I never knew even looked at my LJ, that's always fun. Anyway!


1) Hiss... Well done. But, my true strength lies in death, and with it I drag you all to abyss! - Milon, Final Fantasy IV/II US. I figured this would be the first one guessed, since it's the most well-known of the games I used. I never realised the mightiness of the Engrish in this game until I replayed it years after the first time, it can be amusing. spoonybardol wins the Shoddy Translation Award.

2) Take my daughter, please! - Random villager, Castlevania 2. I was a bit surprised it took that long for someone to get this one, it's like the defining quote of Castlevania 2, for me. Never fails to make me laugh, the picture of an old man going around town, shouting to every random stranger that happens to come by to please take his daughter. ^_^; meredy wins the Random Innuendo Award.

3) How am I supposed to take over the world when I'm on a budget? - Dr. Fred Edison, Maniac Mansion. Wasn't that just one of the most fun things to do in the game, doing something to threaten a nuclear meltdown just to watch Dr. Fred rant like that? It's right up there with constantly ringing the doorbell to annoy Weird Ed. firehawke wins the Weird Science Award.

4) It seems that you have broken both of your legs!! It's only a matter of time before you die!! - Narrator, Shadowgate. One of the game's many death messages. If nothing else, the gratuitous double exclamation marks should have given this one away. prismaticdrake wins the IASTTYAHEH Award.

5) I just thought you'd like to get a-head. BWAHAHAHAHA! - Roger Wilco, Space Quest 5. I'm a little disappointed about this one not getting guessed, but I guess not everyone remembers quite as many quotes from classic PC adventure games. Roger makes this awful (and therefore great) pun when he returns to the ship after blowing up WD-40, and tosses Cliffy her head. No winner for the Broom Jockey Award.

6) I wish I could throw a fireball at the boats sailing down there... just for fun. - Malcolm the Jester, The Legend of Kyrandia 3. I'm less surprised about nobody getting Malcolm's lament on losing his magic powers, this series not being quite as well-known. Though it should be! It's awesome, especially the third game. Also, you only get this quote if you happen to look at the water in the distance when you're standing near the castle gates, so yes, this one wasn't easy even if you were familiar with the game. I'll keep the Evil Jester Fan Award myself.

7) Don't worry. We'll go to Japan. Ninja are there. - El Toro, Wrath of the Black Manta. A pretty obscure one, this is from one of the cutscenes in the game. Don't worry about not getting this one, it isn't really a game worth playing anyway. No one wins the Drug Ninja Award.

8) You will find yourself face down... When you wake up. - Dragon Chan, Super Punch Out. He doesn't just look like Bruce Lee, and fight like Bruce Lee, he also TALKS like Bruce Lee. firehawke wins the WATAAAH! Award.

9) Enemy uniforms? Are they cute little sailor suits? - Big Boss, Metal Gear. I was debating on keeping in the 'Over.' after that, but I figured that would have made it too easy. It's plain to see the damage Metal Gear Solid 3 did to Big Boss's mind, isn't it? mercurial_lily wins the Disturbing Fantasy Award.

10) This world exists only for the beautiful, so naturally only a gorgeous hunk of a man like me could win! - Vega, (Super) Street Fighter II. The biggest disappointment of them all, this is from Vega's ending when you beat the game with him. I thought for sure CERTAIN people would have gotten this one, if nothing else because it's SUCH a Vega thing to say, but alas. Nobody gets the Spanish Bish Award.

Thank you all for playing! firehawke wins, for being the only one to get two awards! Now you and anyone else who feels like it get to post this meme up as well. ^_^ Please? It'll be fun!
