Answer key – Gaming (Set 1)

  1. C. 256 – Level 256 is the final level of the original Pac-Man. Because of a programming bug, the right half of the screen turns into a jumble of symbols, making it impossible to finish. This 'kill screen' means a perfect game scores 3,333,360 points, first achieved by Billy Mitchell in 1999.
  2. A. Unreal Engine 4 – Valorant, Riot Games' tactical shooter released in 2020, was built on Unreal Engine 4. Riot tuned the engine so the game could run smoothly even on low-end computers, which helped it reach players in many countries. Riot has since announced a move to Unreal Engine 5.
  3. B. PUBG: Battlegrounds – Erangel is the original map of PUBG: Battlegrounds, released in 2017. It is a Russian-style island where 100 players parachute in and fight. PUBG was created by Brendan Greene, known as 'PlayerUnknown', who helped popularise battle royales. BGMI is its Indian mobile version.
  4. B. V-Bucks – V-Bucks are the in-game currency of Fortnite. Players buy them with real money or earn some through the Battle Pass, then spend them on outfits (skins), dances (emotes) and other cosmetic items. They do not give any advantage in fights, only a different look.
  5. C. League of Legends – A 'Pentakill' is most associated with League of Legends. It happens when one player defeats all five enemy champions in quick succession, and an announcer shouts 'Pentakill!'. It is one of the most exciting moments in a match and often goes viral in esports.
  6. B. Tails – Tails, whose full name is Miles 'Tails' Prower, is Sonic's yellow-orange fox sidekick. He has two tails that he spins like a helicopter to fly. He first appeared in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (1992) and is a clever young mechanic who builds planes and gadgets.
  7. B. Atari – Atari made the Atari 2600, released in 1977. It used swappable game cartridges, which helped make home video games popular. Its games included Space Invaders and Pitfall!. The poor-quality E.T. game in 1982 is often linked to the video game crash of 1983.
  8. B. World of Warcraft – World of Warcraft features two rival factions: the Alliance, with races such as humans and dwarves, and the Horde, with orcs, trolls and others. Blizzard released WoW in 2004, and it became the most popular MMORPG in history. Players must choose a side when creating a character.
  9. A. Fortnite – Fortnite is the battle royale game with building mechanics. Players collect wood, stone and metal to build walls, ramps and forts instantly during fights. This building system made Fortnite stand out from other battle royales like PUBG. A 'Zero Build' mode without building was added in 2022.
  10. C. PlayStation 3 – The PlayStation 3, released in 2006, was the first PlayStation with a built-in Blu-ray Disc drive. Its Blu-ray support helped Blu-ray win the format war against HD DVD. The PS3 also used a powerful but complicated processor called the Cell.
  11. B. God of War – Kratos appears in the God of War series by Santa Monica Studio. In the early games he battles Greek gods such as Ares and Zeus. The 2018 reboot made him an older, wiser father in the world of Norse mythology. God of War (2018) won many Game of the Year awards.
  12. C. The Outlands – Apex Legends is set in the Outlands, a group of frontier planets in the Titanfall universe. Respawn Entertainment released it for free in 2019. It is a battle royale with 'legends', characters who each have special abilities, and it introduced the useful 'ping' system for team communication.
  13. D. Sega – Sega made the Sega Genesis, released in Japan in 1988 as the Mega Drive. In North America it was sold as the Genesis. It competed fiercely with Nintendo's Super NES in the early 1990s 'console wars', helped greatly by Sonic the Hedgehog.
  14. D. Pokémon – Pokémon, short for 'Pocket Monsters', is the franchise where players catch and battle creatures. Satoshi Tajiri created it, inspired by his childhood hobby of collecting insects. Starting with games in 1996, it grew into the highest-grossing media franchise in the world.
  15. C. PC – Steam is a digital game store and platform for PC, made by Valve and launched in 2003. It started as a way to update Valve's own games, such as Counter-Strike, and grew into the largest PC gaming store, with tens of thousands of games and big seasonal sales.

  17. A. Dark Souls – 'Praise the Sun' comes from Dark Souls (2011). It is the motto of Solaire of Astora, a friendly knight who raises his arms in a 'Praise the Sun' pose. The gesture became a famous symbol of friendship and cooperation among fans of this very difficult game.
