Great quiz @Mi-Amigo thank you, happy with a Bronze.

Well done everyone. 👍

[RafaC]

Well done guys and thanks @Mi-Amigo 3 stars for the board ⭐⭐⭐

@pgn sounds like they were trying to be Radiohead at that time, not U2 as afterwards. Having said that, I do think Parachutes is a very beautiful album and I used to like A Rush Of Blood To The Head back in the day too.

[MI5]

Well done all and thanks @Mi-Amigo 

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @pgn  @BobM  @RafaC  @MI5 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz, with a couple of tricky questions. Well done each of you on your award.

I hope you like the idea for next week`s WRQ A to Z Quizzes - details are now up on separate Advanced Notice thread.

Good set of questions there @Mi-Amigo 

Completely forgot about the Game Gear, and should have remembered it's 5 dices and not 6 in Yahtzee!

[Cleoriff]

Great game @Mi-Amigo. Mercury was a guess as it's known for its craters 😂

[jonsie]

Good game, good game @Mi-Amigo 👍

Well done all 😊
