These were easy peasy, but I'm probably biased because Maniac Mansion is one of my favorite games lol. Never played Day of the Tentacle but I was aware of it for obvious reasons.
Maaaan... People really don't know stuff like this? It really goes to show how wide the gap is between video game enthusiasts and normies. I would have thought all of these are the equivalent of asking "What does the "T" in FTL: Faster Than Light stand for?"
I do want to specify, I'm not throwing shade. It's us enthusiasts who are being absurd, but folks gotta understand, to folks like me, not knowing this stuff is like not knowing who George Washington was. It's real basic history for the medium.
I've never played any of these, I was never interested in point and clicks and I was born after they were released, yet I knew answers to all these questions (guessing on the day of the tentacle though). I feel like these were extremely "mainstream" questions for a quiz/challenge
I'd say Maniac Mansion was the most mainstream, since it went viral on 4 ultra popular platforms: The C64, the NES, the Atari ST, and the Amiga. You had Nintendo Power, Zzaap64, ST Format, and Amiga power all writing about the same game, all over the world at once. MM was also huge in japan.
...pretty basic lucas arts trivia, if you played PC games in the early 90's, these are all "what is the name of the plumber in nintendo's mascot's series" questions. Secret of Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, and Maniac Mansion are among the best known PC games ever made.
