[Kosta]

Hi everyone!

Its been a while since the last contest, and both the page and community developed nicely since then. That is why I thought it would be only fair to organize another contest and with the richest prize pool so far!

There are five awesome prizes to be won!

Score board: [attachmentid=3809]

Okay just sent all 5 answers. One of those was pretty hard for me personally. Even if you know and have played all the games, it's still easy to not recognise it by the screenshots because it seems Kosta loves using screenshots of intros/animated sequences which most people will even skip

The whole idea is that you are supposed to twist your brain a little and use searching engines and game museums on the net.

Where would the fun be if it was so easy that everyone could answer it in 3 seconds?

Everyone? Not everyone has played so many games. I know hundereds of games for PC (if not thousands) if I get to see in-game screenshots but an intro which you see for a split second or only if you play a game for quite a while is much much harder. I just think that the screenshots shouldn't be mostly intro or cut-scene shots. As you say, then it becomes a matter of who is the best googler or browser. And that defeats the point of a quiz.

That's great and all, if you know what it is you're looking at to search for, and also where to search for.

EG: 1st picture: search for "army dude with explosion" I'm sure that'll return something useful. You really need to recognise these screen shots, so yea, it really is an answer in 3 seconds deal.

Looks like I'll just buy those sierra games.



EDIT: Is it possible to still be in the running if you can't guess any out of a block of 5, but can guess some in the next block, etc, and only have say, 30 out of 50 guesses submitted?

At first glance and to my personal despair I only recognized one of the game screenshots, because it was the only one of them that I've actually played before. But after like an hour of research on the internet I was able to figure out the other four games. So, as a matter of fact, it is possible to research the answers. Of course you need to use some logic and, as MV75 stated (but maybe in a sarcastic way, I think ), you must know where to look for (you can't use a search engine of course!). So, come on people! Give it a try. It may be like finding a needle in haystack, but who knows, you may get lucky like me! Three of those screenshots were from games I've never seen before in my entire life.

Wow, I spent probably longer than that yesterday and turned up nothing. I don't know how you guys do it.

The only game I recognised in the first list was one that I know I've never played, but I knew what it was. Ah, the irony.

The 2nd list, man, forget it.

Sorta sucks that after playing games for the last two decades, I can't turn up squat on what's here.

Just one was hard for you? Ok I'm toast. :wallbash:

Are all these games available on abandonia?
