Yep! it does make it more easy, because:
Number 135 is: Spoiler: Number 50 is: Spoiler: I'm going to put more of my brain cogs to work, for the others now. "most of you are probably either sick of symbols by now and/or your heads still hurt" Not me, I was offline again ! So I'll stare a bit more at them .... |

I reckon number 12 can only be
Spoiler: Why? Because I recognised that symbol three days ago (I am still sure I not only saw it, but drew it when I had played it) but couldn't place it if my life depended on it. Somehow I thought it was from Voyage and I even intended to answer so, but since Voyage is not on the list, it must be that other adventure. Elementary. 24. Spoiler: 32. Spoiler: 51. Spoiler: 53. Spoiler: 61. Spoiler: 79 is... Spoiler: 115. Spoiler:

Heh, Zobraks, my dear friend... you're doing it again. #99 is mine.
129. Aura 2. I'm leaving out the spoilers because Quiz Master Trunkyo said they were no longer required. Last edited by Fien; 03-27-2011 at 02:32 AM. |

Here's another wild guess.
105. Callahan's?? But I'm dead certain #65 is the Journeyman Project 3. And #46 is Myst V. Last edited by Fien; 03-27-2011 at 03:18 AM. |

Well, since Сибирија is "Syberia" written in cyrillic letters, I'll guess #10 is from (some russian cover of) Syberia 2.

Good one, zobraks!
I HATE not recognizing the symbol from my beloved Callahan's, so here's another wild guess: #69. Please tell us, Quiz Master, how many people emailed you their list with 50 guesses? |

I was wondering when someone would finally recognize the Cyrillic letters in #10. Good eye, zobraks! (It's actually from the newspaper found at the Bourgoff brothers' hideout, "Сибирский новости" (transliterated as Sibirskiĭ novosti => Siberian News). Would you believe I was originally going to be really cruel and use the letters "HOBO" instead? )
And, not surprisingly, absolutely nobody PMed me with their big list, unlike for my tree quizzes. (A few people do like to guess privately instead of (or as well as) publicly within the thread so I always offer that option. ) Nope to #69, Fien.

Thanks, Fien! You did a great job too.
Quote:
Thanks, Trunk! You made a (yet another) magnificent quiz! Quote:
But in that case the pun would be lost: nobody would realize it reads "NOVO" (meaning "new"), we would assume that it reads "HOBO" (in Latin) and that it comes from an adventure game about some poor jobless guy who rides the trains without a ticket.

Ok, so i'm just in time for the final touch before you greedy symbol cookie eaters take all of it
No, actually, if i learned anything from this quiz - it's that i should play more Myst-like games. I knew i was always leaning more toward the traditional 3rd person titles, but i never knew i SUCK MONKEY BALLS at recognizing symbols from games. There were only some of them i could place or match to certain games but even then i wasn't sure about it. Yes, i'm getting my symbol-notebook first thing tomorrow, but actually i never had a habbit of drawing symbols - i was more into map drawing The other thing is that in the future it should be noted that Trunkyo killed quizes - simply, it would be impossible for next quizmaster to surpass the amount of what's been done here I deleted the guessed ones, to make my pitiful symbol knowledge life slight easier: And i'm gonna steal "Callahan's" right in front of Fien's eyes and say it's #19 (it's from a cockpit controls). |

"The other thing is that in the future it should be noted that Trunkyo killed quizes - simply, it would be impossible for next quizmaster to surpass the amount of what's been done here" Well if you wanna be really you can make an inventory items quiz !

Aaahhhhh... thank you Diego. I don't have to think about it anymore, I've found inner peace.
Trunkyo, it wasn't a reflection on you or on the emailing posters, just on the difficulty of this particular quiz. And I like this quiz! Countdown has started... 10... 9... Who's next? |
