Superquiz: Symbolmania!
 

(Thanks kate me, for your skull quiz! :D)

So, you thought the tree quizzes were easy, eh?

Here is a dizzying array of symbols, characters, letters, numerals, logos, glyphs, runes and patterns. Some of them you will recognize immediately, others you might recall seeing somewhere before, while still others will be, appropriately enough, "foreign" and "alien" to you! (Although some of the symbols in this quiz come from lesser-known games, none of the games should be considered obscure, and all of the symbols can be encountered during regular gameplay.)

Superquiz rules:
1) If you wish to post in this thread directly, please guess only a maximum of five (5) symbols per 6-hour period, in spoiler tags please. You are still free to mention any other symbols you recognize (i.e. by number only). By "symbol", I obviously mean each of the 136 pictures, even though a pic may contain a series of individual symbols, letters, characters, etc. ;)
2) You may also PM me with your entire list of guesses, especially if you recognize more than fifty (50!) symbols. :crazy:
Any symbols not guessed within the thread by Sunday, March 27 (if the quiz lasts that long) are up for grabs by anyone.

And now, on to the superquiz!

I'm not quite so sure about the next two though:

I also recognize 13, 14, 29, 33, 45, 64, 86, 94, 109, 117. And about 30 symbols look very familiar. I know I should be able to put a name to at least ten or twelve other symbols but I'm not.

I have to lie down now...

Woah. This is awesome, kudos for doing this!

Yes, I like that game :D
43.

Spoiler:

Evidence the last ritual

I don't and I still recognize two of its symbols. :D

At least you played it a little, I don't even have "The vampire diaries" and I still recognized your screenshot :D Anyhow, the game is definitively puzzle-driven, so people expecting an interesting story or endearing characters are bound to be disappointed, the puzzles instead are very well devised, logical and satisfying to solve (excluding the tower of Hanoi at the end which is simply routine once you know the algorithm), I had to look at the walkthrough just once (by the way nobody doubts that you kick ass ;))

Some people are very good at it and you are a pro, no doubt about it. I remember you won all those competitions at JA.

Having said that, I intentionally left a lot of the background in the Vampire Diaries pic, to make it easier. :P

Afraid I didn't care for the other games by the same company either. Too difficult for me, I guess.

I think number 3 is from:

Spoiler:

The Lost Crown

Holy... :crazy:

Many look familiar but I can't say I recognize any with certainty, I'll throw in some guesses though.

#39

Spoiler:

Mystery of the Druids?

#100

Spoiler:

Barrow Hill?

Damn, dude - great effort. Could only find a couple I know for sure that haven't already been identified.

#68 -

Spoiler:

Syberia 2

#134 -

Spoiler:

Shivers

I feel like I recognize quite a few more symbols (7,14,29,30,33,40,54,74,78,92,126) but am not 100% sure, so I won't guess just yet.

Oh my God... I even remember some of them - the ones I've been memorizing as "angry Chenese face" and such. But it's still a very cruel quiz. My brain hurts!

92 -

Spoiler:

Space Quest 4

37 -

Spoiler:

The Neverhood

29 -

Spoiler:

Zork Nemesis

I guess...

#28 and #93

Spoiler:

Aura?

Spoiler:

Right series, wrong game.

All other guesses are correct thus far! I hope you all haven't hurt yourselves too badly wracking your brains, taxing your adventure game recall skills.

That was sort of the reaction I was expecting... I did say this quiz was going to be a doozy! :devil:

After having gauged the initial response, I've decided to modify the rules. :) From this point on, you may make five (5) guesses per 6-hour period. Lots of symbols left to guess! :D

@SuperEdy: Yeah, I like that game too. In fact, I wound up replaying the entire game when making the screenshots of the symbols for this quiz! The ending still baffles me, though. :confused:

Aha, new rules. I can post my next batch. :)

If any of these are mixed up, I'll never hear the end of it...:P

#85, #91, and #120 seem very familiar, but I can't picture which game! It's driving me crazy! lol
