In your honest opinion, which is more embarrassing? The fact that I know every single lyric to every single song inAladdinor the fact that I owned (andwore, mind you) a t-shirt in high school with a picture of the genie on it that said “You Rubbed?” And, yes, I saidhigh school.
The t-shirt? Yeah, that’s what I thought.
This week’s Great Retro Quiz! is a little different. Instead of focusing on one game, this week’s quiz is all abouttwo:Aladdinfor both theGenesisandtheSuper Nintendo Entertainment System. The first half is about the Genesis version; the latter half focuses on the SNES. Which version do you know better? Are you the master of both? Take the quiz to find out!
Like always, just leave your answers in the comments and check mycommunity blogtomorrow (4/17) to see how many you got right.
I have also added a teensy tiny new feature, starting this week. At the end of each quiz will be one “humble opinion” question. In no way does it count towards your score — heck, you don’t even have to answer it at all. It is just a way to spark some friendly debate and discussion in the comments (and satiate my compulsive curiosity). Have fun and … good luck!
