This quiz isn't difficult . All you need to win in it is an elephant's memory (checked!), a lot of notebooks in which you sketched ALL the symbols you run across in ALL the adventure games you have played (checked! but I wish I made more sketches), and some luck, so that no-one recognise a symbol before you do (nothing doing!).

Hehe, I will never admit that I started flicking through my notebook cos I knew I'd written down one of the symbols before!

Okay here are my guesses -

That's it. I've misplaced my notes. Or maybe the dog tore them up. Or they were destroyed in a fire or something. I'm done.

PS: So far all the games are pretty mainstream, which is good of course. The quiz is hard enough as it is. Except #1, which I would definitely call "obscure" and not "lesser-known", Mr. Trunkyo.

Shame on you! I'd sooner lose my liver than my (precious/adventure games) notes!

Well, look on the bright side... one competitor left the building.

And where on earth is diego?? Doesn't he like symbols?

Oh, he likes symbols all right, but he's up to his neck in some adventure game mini-reviews he has to write .

While chatting with you I almost forgot to post another batch of guesses:

#33 and #94 have already been identified by me, sweetiepie!
You're wrong about #33 and I'm right.

EDIT: Why delete #33 and leave #94 in place?

Yup, you're right Bunny-Wunny and I failed to notice that. Just kidding: I was trying to muscle my way to the top .

Not the right game. You're on the right track, the game is not set on Earth.

All other guesses made since I last checked in are correct!

Good thing I still have my gigantic binder of notes! It's a gold mine of both neatly drawn and hastily scrawled symbols from almost all of the games I've played (quiz inspiration!) I had already imagined many of you running back to your own notes searching for those "looks-familiar-but-can't-remember-exactly-which-game" symbols!

Urgh! That narrows it down to (only) 785 titles!

I will do so if some of the familiar symbols survive a little more. On the start of my adventuring I used to make notes and sketches on a sheets of paper which are now spread all over the house. Later I became wiser and started using notebooks for that (where do you think I refreshed my memory?).
The only symbol I recognised and could place as soon as I saw it now was that room chevron from the Starship Titanic.

If I start playing The Neverhood, Starship Titanic and some other games again (God, what a short life we live! ) - it would be your fault, Trunkyo!

OK, OK, I was being deliberately vague there.

Spoiler:

You were indeed on the right track, though. The game takes place "in space" rather than "on Earth". So that should narrow it down to at least 236 titles!!!

Pretty sure #110 is:
