Another fast and easy quiz!

Everyone's right so far (I'll give Elena that one too, I know what she meant.

) Only #9 and #18 left, I know some of you are jumping at the chance to get these last two.

I didn't say I didn't recognise it, I said I possibly had doubts about it. As you know, I don't care for the second act in that game, so I don't have very strong memories of it.

Gonchi · 03-07-2011, 07:07 PM

I think 9 is...

Spoiler:
one of the Bone games by Telltale. Never played either, but it just gives me that vibe. I'm using Zobraks' theorem of screenshots trivia.

EDIT: Yep, it's...

Spoiler:
Bone: Out of Boneville.

The bolded one is the easiest of the bunch (all 20), as far as I am concerned.

If I jump at the chance, Fien will

me!

Now seriouslly - it's possible to give a second answer now, when more than 4 hours passed, without (indirectly) being called a greedy pig, isn't it?

True, the second part is not the best one, but I could never forget the incredibly frustrating tree puzzle. Anyone who took the pic of that supreme moment has my complete admiration.

Who, sweet little MOI? Nooooo! Now you got me thinking that you can't put a name to the last two pics.

By the way. SpeedBo, Bulldog and you are all wrong about #19.

Spoiler:
It's The Neverhood Chronicles

I've played 11 of the 20 games and recognized 10. Missed #10. I forgive myself, that was many many years ago. Didn't recognize any of the games I haven't played, so all is well.

PS: Is #18

Spoiler:
one of the Kyrandia games??

I don't have to: Gonchi already said what #9 was (I knew the series, wasn't sure about the exact part), and I pm-ed Trunkyo (many hours ago) what #18 was - the first of my favourites

.

I've played 9 of the 20 and recognised 14

. Not bad for me.

SpeedBo · 03-08-2011, 05:30 AM

I just pulled out my disk for #19

No where on it does it say:

Spoiler:
The Neverhood Chronicles

All it says is:

Spoiler:
the Neverhood

A little more evidence

Spoiler:
http://www.mobygames.com/game/neverhood/cover-art/gameCoverId,199076/

So are you sure that we got it wrong?

Heheh...yes and no.

NO: It was just a joke because Zobraks was taking Bulldog to task. Everybody, including me, calls the game The Neverhood.
YES: The first thing you see of the game when you start playing it is this title screen.

Trunkyo · 03-08-2011, 07:08 AM

Correct, Gonchi (close enough, you did get the right episode)!

Basically, this means that after the 4-hour mark (i.e., after the initial flurry of replies), anyone who's already made one guess may make one more guess between that time and 2:00 a.m. my time

. This means that if you happened to stumble upon this quiz thread for the first time after the 4-hour mark, you could still make TWO guesses (even though there usually aren't that many pics left to guess in that time span). After 12 hours, any pics not guessed within the thread are up for grabs by anyone. Clear as mud?

So go ahead zobraks, tell everyone what #18 is!

Ok, that was a Legend of a game:

and the scene the shot was taken from is this:

Trunkyo · 03-08-2011, 08:49 AM

Good job, everyone! All pics have now been identified, here is the recap:

1. Obsidian [Fien]
2. Destination: Treasure Island [kate me]
3. Scratches [MoP]
4. The Black Mirror [Panthera]
5. Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers [marenka]
6. The Bizarre Adventures of Woodruff and the Schnibble (a.k.a Woodruff and the Schnibble of Azimuth) [zobraks]
7. Lure of the Temptress [jhetfield21]
8. Seven Games of the Soul (a.k.a Faust) [Kurufinwe]
9. Bone: Out from Boneville [Gonchi]
10. Torin's Passage [diego]
11. Samorost [inm8#2]
12. Wallace & Gromit: Fright of the Bumblebees [SweetDalilah]
13. Zork: Grand Inquisitor [Arial Type]
14. Myst [Mohlin]
15. I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream [Elena]
16. Outcry [seagul]
17. The Longest Journey [Shany]
18. Sam & Max Hit the Road [zobraks]
19. The Neverhood [SpeedBo, bulldog]
20. Flight of the Amazon Queen [harald]

#2, 6, 8, 9 and 20 I figured might be a bit more difficult. I also mentioned "tree-like substitutes" at the beginning, since Abnaxus' house in TLJ (#17) may or may not be a tree per se (petrified, stone carved into tree shape, tree covered by stone?), and as any botanist will tell you, bananas (#20) don't grow on trees but on tree-like stalks.

Be sure to watch out for my next quiz!

Gonchi · 03-08-2011, 09:16 AM

Oops, it was Out FROM Boneville, not Out OF Boneville. My bad.

Still, if I'd of just answered "random Telltale game" it ought to have been acceptable, considering all Telltale games look alike.

Oops..Overconfident i think...Thank you for accepting it.

More trees?

Trunkyo · 03-08-2011, 10:26 PM

Possibly, probably, definitely maybe???

Let me just say that when I was brainstorming what games to include in the first tree quiz, I was astounded by what I could come up with, thinking, "Wow, I might be able to get three or four quizzes out of this!"

For the AG quiz faithful, I do have a few other themes in the works, including a real doozy to tax one's adventure gaming recognition and recollection skills.

Fien · 03-09-2011, 01:18 AM

I like your trees but a real doozy sounds very interesting.
