Gaming-Related Only Connect

I'd seen this elsewhere but didn't know if we had a thread for it. Bollocks to it, here you go.

Only Connect is a BBC quiz show where teams compete in a series of matches to finding connections between seemingly unrelated clues. There’s a website called Puzz Grid where you can make your own, so I've had a go at making a few gaming-related ones. I've tried to provide a bit of challenge, and I hope you enjoy them:

An easier puzzle

A harder puzzle

An even harder puzzle

Can you find the four categories and figure out what links them?

Anybody can make their own, and I think people could get pretty creative with this. I hope folk run with it. 

Those were belting Cappa! I got 10/10, then 5/10 and then 1/10 so you definitely labelled your difficulties correctly!

7/10 for the easy one (I got everything but I wasn't specific enough about one of the categories!).

4/10 for the medium (I got two connections and *almost* got the last two - then wasn't specific enough about some categories again! If only you could be a Victoria and press me for more info).

3/10 for the hard (was kicking myself though!)

Those were great Cappa, top marks

6, 10 and 0 here Nice job

I did okay, I was like Rum where I wasn't specific enough

Easy: 7/10

Dropped points because:

Medium: 10/10!

Hard: 2/10

I didn't work out any 4-ages but:

But that was really good fun! Game quizzes are always great.

Oh I love this, gonna try and make some myself. Managed to get 10, 6 and 4, a little gutted about missed points on the second one as well as I knew what linked the two I categories I missed before they were revealed I just couldn't think what went in which.

Not bad! I think I got 7 5 and 2 or something.

Glad folk are enjoying these. I'd be keen to play some of your grids too. You'll get more from me though, I'll post a couple a week until I run out of ideas 

Couple more for the folk who log in at the weekend.

Only easy if you know it

MAR10 THUNDERBASTARD

Yay!

4/10 for the first, disappointingly

Spoiler:

and 4/10 for the second also

Spoiler:

2 and a 3 from me, though I'm happy with that considering my lack of knowledge on all the topics

Got a 6/10 in the first and 4/10 in the second. Managed to get all the connections in the first one but only knew two of the categories and didn't get any connections for the second but knew what they were all from.

7 and 6.  Woo!

Spoiler:

Must do one of these some time.  Mustmustmust.

4/10 for the first one though weirdly it said 'correct!' when I guessed Sonic 3 for the Yooka-Laylee links so I should have gotten fewer points and 6/10 for the second!

Quality thread here Cappa - thoroughly enjoyed these puzzles!

Here's my scores:

Easier - 7/10:

Harder - 7/10:

Even Harder - 2/10:

Only easy if you know it - 5/10:

Thunderbastard - 2/10:

I made a grid, nothing too obscure or difficult I think, this one is all about video game characters

Wow, 3/10.  Spoiled the bed on that one!

Go on then: maybe toughish Pokémon grid.

I didn't better on Smurfs let just say that

I had a go at one as well

Happy to see folk posting a few of their own 

4/10 for Treesmurf's:

0/10 for Balladeer's:

6/10 for masofdas's:

I'll post a couple every Saturday - here's my latest lot.

A 10p Pick 'n Mix

Tricky

3/10 for Treesmurf:

2/10 for Balladeer:

7/10 for masofdas:

Edit: Also a 1/10 and 0/10 for those two Cappa. My retro game knowledge is poor.

Also, I made a grid! I don't think it's crazy hard, but then again it's difficult to know when you're the one who's made it.

Nice, a few more to tuck into!

Treesmurf - 10/10:

Balladeer - 1/10:

Mas - 10/10:
