Even though only one person was brave enough to formally respond to last month’s CPS1 trivia challenge, i think a lot of people had fun discussing various questions on SRK. With that in mind, i’ll give this whole quiz idea another chance in the near future before giving up on it.

As promised, here is the complete answer sheet. If you haven’t had an opportunity to look through the questions yet, now’s the time to go back and do it. Click the link above if you want to avoid spoilers, or continue reading for the solution key.

Still here? Okay, here we go.
