Hello, good evening/bad morning/Happy Hannukah (delete as applicable) and please don't hurt my wife. I am BW, the quiz-host with the most (diseases ever contracted by a human through inappropriate contact with a golem). Welcome to my latest gaming quiz: Super-Quiz 23.3, or whatever it's called.
It is the purpose of this quiz to test you in matters of gaming knowledge. Some games characters are world famous, but what about the people who made them? Are developers as anonymous and unknown as people think? Here are eleven notable game creators - but can you name them all? Find out at the bottom (of the page). Hello? Hello! Goodbye.
I'm afraid that I won't be sticking around to find out how well you did: I'm late for my acupuncture appointment. Well, I say acupuncture appointment... I'm just going to get in the bath and push clasps and offal up my nose until I pass out. Good luck in the quiz, everyone! Goodbye again. Hello again.
