[Puzzle] Video Game Quiz (solution posted)

Are you going to post the answers once this is finished? I quit, can't find Q10 and even if I did, it sounds like I'd still have quite a bit ahead of me.

what is the secret prize btw?

I so badly want to know what Q10 was.

Thanks to all who participated. I hope it wasn't for you all just frustrating but you could get some fun solving or trying to solve it.

Solution
========

Q1. Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, Michael Jackson: Moonwalker, Moonwalker

The player character is Michael Jackson, the music is Smooth Criminal. Have you ever seen Jackson dancing? And that special forward leaning move? Anyway, watch this Team Fortress 2 version of Smooth Criminal (don't miss 2:15-3:15), or this my clip if you can't see the original one.

Q2. Aladdin, Disney's Aladdin

Best-selling game for SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive (but also a multi-platform game), developed by Virgin and Disney. That oil lamp should help to recognize it as a game from Aladdin folk tale.

Q3. Donald Duck's Playground

An education game developed by Sierra. That character with the yellow beak and the tail wagging while climbing on a ladder was Donald Duck, yes.

Q4. Life & Death II: The Brain, Life & Death 2: The Brain, Life & Death II, Life & Death 2

A game where you do physical examinations and brain surgery is not very common in the history of video games, I think.

Q5. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom

A whip used as weapon, this must be Indiana Jones. Also the music can help you if you know this movie, and that minecart.

Q6. Zool

If you don't know already the game, you can notice three times in the video a Chupa Chups logo, as this game was sponsored by this popular confectionery brand. Google or Google Image with search terms such as "Chupa Chups game", and you find the answer.

Q7. Barbarian: The Ultimate Warrior, Death Sword

A popular fighting game of that time, I had to use a lot of video filter effects in order to make the Google reverse image search function unhelpful. If you have thought to Conan, you were on the right track. The game developer based the game on Conan The Barbarian by Robert E. Howard and related movies starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. You could get the answer even without noticing any reference to previous works, as the game is popular and the first letter of the name is partially visible on screen. Guessing this was mostly a C64 game was helpful. I have noticed a similarity with the movie soundtrack, but I watched the movie recently.

A solver (chour) has found the answer searching for game with decapitations (try for example with "decapitation c64", in Google or Google Image), actually Barbarian looks a bit as a Mortal Kombat of that time.

Q8. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Just try to read some words or phrases on screen and Google suggests you at least the theme of this game. For example: "The bedroom is a mess" is quite enough. Then you can find the game title from Wikipedia or from Mobygames.

Q9. Star Trek: 25th Anniversary, Star Trek 25th Anniversary

The teleportation of Star Trek is likely the most widely-recognized fictional teleportation.

Q10. Dante's Inferno

The player character is Dante Alighieri, Italian poet, author of the Divine Comedy, who is starting his journey through Hell. Yes, it has the same name of the recent game (2010) for Playstation 3. I haven't checked if you can meet Charon in that 3D game though, but in this game you have to pay an obol to the old ferryman or else you are killed by the swarm of flies and wasps.

If you search just "ferryman", Google first result is Charon. I have thought this should be enough to answer the question with some deductions. Dante should be well known outside of Italy, but this question have got a number of solvers quite low, same as in my previous puzzle the question related to Ulysses.

I have posted some hints but due to the server downtime it was definitely too late.

A solver (savv) has found the answer surprisingly using the name of the music (Bach, French Overture, BWV 831) you can listen in the second part of the video.

Q11. Tron Deadly Discs, Tron: Deadly Discs

TRON is a known franchise with a recent released movie, TRON: Legacy, and many video games. You can see an arena with a special kind of gladiators, they have a disc as weapon. In the second part a recognizer try to close the open doors but the player stops it quickly.

If you fail in identifying that is a TRON game, then it's very hard to find the answer, as this is an Intellivision game. Intellivision was a quite popular console made by Mattel, Atari competitor, with better graphics and so... A peculiar graphics that make easier guessing the platform, but you need a bit of background.

I was counting on the fact that many people have at least seen a trailer of TRON: Legacy, and also posting hints later.

QF1. Hunchback II: Quasimodo's Revenge, Hunchback 2: Quasimodo's Revenge, Hunchback II Quasimodo's Revenge,
Hunchback 2 Quasimodo's Revenge

Game based on a well known character, Quasimodo, a bell ringer, from Notre-Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo.

QF2. Pantheon

Name of a building of a Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood image.

M•AGRIPPA•L•F•COS•TERTIVM•FECIT

QF3. Sleepwalker

Nice gameplay, a sleepwalker and a dog.

QF4. Arch of Constantine

Another image from Brotherhood, another ancient Rome building. Arch of Constantine and, back, the Colosseum.
This Arch of Constantine isn't very close to the original, though.

QF5. Weird Dreams

A man and a cotton candy / candy floss machine. This question requires Google Fu or similar skill. Google or Google Image search engines + "candy" + "floss" or "cotton" + "amiga" or "c64" or "atari" and so... and you can find the answer. Using Wikipedia search function: "candy" + "floss" or "cotton" + "game".
