The "Hardcore Gamer's IQ Test" Will Make You Feel Wussy

Flawed, certain characters can be dead or alive depending on game choices making one question unanswerable. You make think I'm looking to far into this, but this is a hardcore gamer I.Q. test, it is supposed to test your knowledge of the little details in games, such mistakes will not be tolerated.
By the gods...props to whomever made that.
I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say I would be lucky to get 10% of that quiz.

This isn't a hardcore gamer's IQ test. It's a Photoshop stress test.
I know a good 90-95% of which games the characters come from, sadly enough, but I sure don't have time to through all that. Some fairly obscure ones in there, like Elevator Action, the original Spy Hunter car, Hobbes from Wing Commander 3(4?), the protagonist from Gods, and the ships from Star Control. (A sprite from the game that makes up my forum avatar would be even more obscure.)
Hey, shout out to including the Spelunky guy - who says an indy using Game Maker can't get some rep?
Oldest one is the cowboy from Boot Hill, assuming you haven't hidden a Space War sprite somewhere in there.
The gibbed corpse is on the Hitman's leg. It is indeed the pivotal example of the gibbed corpse.
Character that appeared in the most games: Mario. Oh, good God, Mario. Unless maybe you count the Arkanoid paddle as having cameos in every Arkanoid clone in existence.
Characters which are dead/watching eachother: trick question, inanimate character concepts are neither truly alive nor watching eachother. Hey, you did call it an IQ test.
A few I'm not sure count as a character. A guitar hero controller? Really?
Who's the space guy and gal standing behind Toejam and Earl? I don't know them, but looks like an interesting artistic style.

Finished results: I correctly named two hundred and thirty-five of the presented games, and two hundred and forty-odd characters. In addition, I found all the vault boys and correctly filled out all the questions. The whole thing took just undder half an hour.

Wow. It is positively SCARY how many of these I know. I mean, they've got the Altered Beast Player 1 character in beast-form on there, ferchrissake. And Dirk the Daring!
If I find Mappy I am going to squee like a schoolgirl who got a pony for her 14th birthday.

Pretty cool, I don't care to name them all, I know what games most are from, but I don't usually pay attention to names that much, I'd just end up saying "That guy from blah blah a lot"
I'll go for the questions though:
-What 2 games here never came out?
Duke Nukem Forever
Starcraft Ghost
-Which 10 characters appear more than once?
Ryu (Street Fighter)
Batman
Snake (Solid and Old)
Indiana Jones
Wolverine
Predator
-What character stars in the most games?
Mario, nothing close to his 154 video game appearances.
-What games are represented solely by an enemy character, not the hero?
-Which 5 games are just represented by an object?
Portal
Tetris
Heavy Rain
Guitar Hero
Chess..
-Which characters were their consoles' "mascots"?
Mario
Sonic
Master Chief
Kratos or Snake
Sackboy
-Which is the oldest game on display?
Space Invaders
-Which characters are hunting or watching each other?
-Which characters are dead? (This question seems rather ambiguous, does it only refer to undead characters(Like Dante), or characters who die at the end or during one of their games (Kratos), or characters who are technically dead but you relive their experiences (Altair, Ezio)
Dante (Dante's Inferno)
Altair
Ezio
That's all i got for now, cbf doing more, its a cool picture, but there's a lot of random characters that don't actually mean much, like a random Blood Elf from the wow loading screen, or the Counter-Terrorist on the Counter-Strike Box, and the Penny Arcade characters(wtf?)

Holy crap, this guy knows gaming. He's even got the two guys from Ben There, Dan That. (Who are called Ben and Dan, naturally.) The man who made it has some mad gaming know-how.
