***

Here are the results based on what answers you chose.

Mostly A’s: Action/Adventure/Sports Gamer

You’re the kind of person who always has to be doing something; you hate being idle. Your favorite games generally involve quick movements, escaping an enemy, or sports-like action. Thinking long and hard about a move isn’t an option, especially when the enemy is closing in on you! Recommended games include Ice Cream Machine, Revel Roundup, and Tyrannian Mini golf.

Mostly B’s: Arcade Classics/Puzzles Gamer

You might be the kind of person who still has a real-life video game system from the 80’s or a stack of puzzle books on your desk. You love the simplicity of moving left or right or back and forth, or you enjoy racking your brain while trying to come up with the best move. Recommended games include Meerca Chase II, Meepit vs. Feepit, and Roodoku.

Mostly C’s: Board/Card Gamer

You probably hold games nights with friends or always have a deck of cards nearby. You like virtual games with rules you are already know. Recommended games include Cheat!, Eye of the Storm, and Kou-Jong.

Mostly D’s: Educational/Quiz/Word Gamer

You’re the kind of person who loves testing your knowledge, learning new things, and putting that expansive vocabulary to good use! You probably enjoy watching quiz-type game shows in real life. Recommended games include Plushie Tycoon, Defender Trainer, and Word Poker.

Mostly E’s: Luck/Chance Gamer

You’re a gambler! You thrive off of taking risks and are often heard saying “Oh yeah? Wanna bet?” To you, a game just isn’t a game unless you stand something to lose. Recommended games include Coconut Shy, Kiss The Mortog, and Bilge Dice.

Mostly F’s: Most Challenging/Strategy Gamer

Much like the Action/Adventure/Sports gamers, you need extra stimulation – usually more than the average gamer. You enjoy testing your skills to the extreme, or you enjoy using your impeccable logic to get you through tough situations. Recommended games include The Buzzer Game, Castle Battles, and Snow Wars II.

Mostly G’s: Multiplayer Gamer

You’re not much of a fan of playing games on your own, usually because you feel the need to defeat someone else! Whether you’re a good sport or a sore winner (or loser), solitaire just isn’t your thing. You might prefer playing with a real life friend or with someone else on Neopets. Recommended games include Faerie Cloud Racers, Kacheekers, and The Great Desert Race.

Mostly H’s: Sponsor/Kids Gamer

You like to relax and take things easy. Perhaps you don’t like exerting much effort, or your days are normally too busy to be playing a bunch of strategic games, or maybe you're still just a kid. You like games that are quick, simple, and to the point! Recommended games include Kacheek Seek, Fashion Fever, and whatever sponsor game is currently available.

Mostly I’s: Old School Neopets Gamer

You were here before customization and the new site layout, before the Usuki paint brush, and likely before the Peophin was available to everyone (it used to be limited edition!). You probably remember when you could make your own theme park, or when you could post a new topic on the neoboards and it would stay for a week before getting bumped off. Ah, the good ol’ days! Whether you’ve been loyal for years and have the 90+ month old account to prove it, or if you’ve self-frozen a few times over the years but can’t seem to stay away from Neopets, you miss the games from way back when.

Head on over to the graveyard for your recommended games, or let out a sigh and hope that TNT resurrects your old favorites, like Bingo!

Hopefully your results match your true gaming preferences! Keep in mind that most games overlap into more that one category, so if you feel you fit a different category more than the one I say you should, feel free to consider that as your true result instead.

On a final note, consider playing a game outside your preferences every once in a while! Discovering new games is fun, and you never know when you might find one you like. Happy gaming!
