A is for Apocalypse

Try your hand at Movie Alphabet Game 1 and 2.
UPDATE, March 04: Temporarily down — too much traffic I assume.

    A ROT13 answer key for both quizzes can be found in this Metafilter thread. If those are too easy for you, try the Swedish movies one instead.

    Yay, my Metafilter thread made it here!
    I loved this game — makes you want to make your own. And as someone on MF posted, if you like this game, there are similar (albeit non-typographic) games at filmwise.com

    This seems to have been a rip of another site, the Retail Alphabet Game

    Thanks for the link to the Retail packaging quiz. I too thought I should make my own font quiz, and it’s related to my Web site so I did. I may make it a permanent feature if people like it enough.
