It's great to see some lesser known characters on here like Dr Loboto and Dr Trent

The doctor in Harvest Moon Back to Nature is reffered to simply as "Doctor"

@iceman1731: In BtN his name is Tim. Doctor is just the title he's often referred to as, sort of like calling someone "Professor". ("Professa!")

Excellent quiz. I will admit that I missed #37 because the picture was animated, which is more my fault than yours, creator. It's nice to see obscure choices such as Loboto and Grey though.

No mention of Dr. Mario, the most famous video game doctor ever?

I didn't mean for the quiz to seem overly difficult, but I know there is a pretty wide selection of games. I did aim for the majority of them to be prominent characters from their respective games. I've now enabled the game series to be shown from the beginning, so it'll hopefully help jog your memory a little better. :) Maybe use this comment to vote up or down against this change.

Oh, wow. I didn't even notice Freeman, and forgot he was a doctor in the first place. And yet I knew Prof. Shikashi's name. Maybe I should play more recent games...

My favorite part is knowing that 48% of people missed Professor Layton, who has his name in the very title of the series, and in result, is the hint itself. That said, any quiz where he can fit in is wonderful.

I thought Dr. Fred was blue...

@SpotXSpot: This is how he appears in Day of the Tentacle, but in the original Maniac Mansion he was blue. I wasn't really sure which one would be more appropriate, would the blue version be more recognizable?

Well, I'm speaking for myself, but I'd say yes.

I'd leave the Dr. Fred from DotT because I imagine that more people played that one (even though Maniac Mansion is included in DotT...)

I think that "Doctor" should be accepted for "Trent/Tim." That's what he's called in the re-releases (FoMT, MFoMT) as well as in HM64. Even if he had a name in one of the games, its the same character and he doesn't have a name in all of them.

@

: Ugh, after researching again and seeing how really ambiguous it is among the several versions of the games, I'll just concede and accept Doctor for him. I haven't played MFoMT but it must be weird being married to someone whom you don't even know the first name of...

Didn't notice Dr. Andonuts there at the bottom at first. Love that game, and that character.

You should accept Prof. Monkey-For-A-Head without hyphens and with the spelling of Professor.
