Impossible quiz

I'm not alltogether sure that I even understand the question :-?

 

Games?

 

Ok then, Standard Games was founded in 1940, what is their current name? (For a bonus point or two how did they come to that Name?)

Zhukov: No.

 

Now I understand.

Is it Avalon Hill? & something to do with the legend of King Arthur.

 

Wrong type of game.

 

Waddingtons?

 

Wrong type of game.

 

The Olympic Games?

 

Time for a clue methinks (Actually this is a pretty good one for the impossible quiz ).

By "games", don't think of boardgames or sports.

 

Team 17?

 

Nope, but going along the right sort of lines.

 

OK, time for another clue...

During the transition between names Standard Games changed it's name first to Service Games, then to Service Games of Japan. The name by which they may be familiar to blokes especially and in particular those in the mid-late 20s age bracket was an abbreviation of Service Games.

As I don't want this one to drag on too long, I can't really make it much more obvious than that.

 

LOL -

Um, Nintendo?

SEGA!

 

Give the man a hedgehog, Sega it is! :lol:

 

I should've known that too, and I really wanted that hedgehog. :cry:

 

Ok, what was notable about the death of Lt. Thomas Selfridge?

 

He was killed in a freak cyclone when an aerial Department store piloted by a girl named Dorothy and her little dog landed on him. Afterwards she compounded this vicious manslaughter by looting the body and stealing his red shoes...?

 

In a strange way you are quite close.

However I have no information of the colour of his shoes.

 

That such a gibberish answer could be even vaguely close is quite worrying.

 

Well, little girls & Department Stores were not involved.
