WHAAAT?! "Globespotting" is also becoming a quiz series? Talk about MILKING THE FRANCHISE!!

Just kidding, you can use that pic in your next quiz so i can get myself an easy point


A wild, wild guess

12.

Spoiler:

Reah?

[kate me]

Well, here's another wild, wild guess!
No. 10:

Spoiler:

Maybe Agon ?

I think 29 is from a well-known classic game, and 16 does seem familiar, especially the wall pattern, but still, my brain cogs are in vacation at the moment!

I think there may be a globe of a Verne game in here somewhere...

EDIT: Oh forgot, how's the kidney?

Woo, a point! The only one I'll get unless my globe skills improve... who could've known adventure games would require so many map type devices???

[Trunkyo]

No to 10. and 12.

Actually, I'm not sure if I'll have enough pics to warrant a second globe quiz (I probably should have made two smaller quizzes instead! ) *hands diego some ointment*

Hints for the remaining pics:
1. Even in the full screenshot, the globe is probably the most colourful item in the scene... not counting the shop owner!
4. Pedestals similar to the one on which this globe sits appear somewhere in the AG Scene Game thread.
10. Despite having a director's cut, this game still disappointed me.
12. Mesdames et messieurs, c'est un jeu d'aventure qui a lieu en France.
13. A globetrotting sequel.

19. "Visita interiora terrae"
22. This game's protagonist needed the globe owner's astrological skills.
24. Despite the appearance, this game has a futuristic setting. (A few years older than Road to India, diego! )
29.

Yes, it is! This globe can be seen in the foreground of a service that enables others to do some globetrotting.

[SweetDalilah]

Spoiler:

Safecracker: The Ultimate Puzzle Adventure from Kheops Studio

Also could 12 be

, but that's why we have graphics , so we could differ games.

Also I had no internet connection for 2 days , but if I had I would have guessed Day of Tentacle screenshot next just to get on zobraks' nerve

I reckon it will comfort you to know you already got on my nerves by guessing TWO pictures I still can't figure out at Lucky Eddie's SuperEdy's.

...Rectificanfoque, Invenies Occultum Lapidum and then you go and open the big globe.

This is for number 19

Perry), as well as MISSING/In Memoriam and Evidence: The Last Ritual as the English voice of Jack Lorski.

I quoted from another thread . I might be a little .
Anyway, it's

Spoiler:

Oh c'mon, you are first on the fame list, and you guessed much more than I did. But the only thing that is getting on my nerve is that I can't figure out all the Mushroom Madness characters

Oh and tell me which ones are those 2 and I'll lend some help , that is if you lend some to me!

[diego]

I think Dalilah got #12 unless it's

Spoiler:

Versailles 2

Is #10

Spoiler:

Jack Orlando?

[Trunkyo]

«Non» pour numéro 12! (Je viens de mettre Ã* jour la liste avec toutes vos bonnes réponses.)

Come again??

Pardon... viens again??

[diego]

Since kate me doesn't want to take a point is #16 by any chance

Spoiler:

80 Days?

BTW, and slightly connected to the theme - what do you think of "world travelling" or "globetrotting" games? You know, the Indiana Jones or "Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?" style ones?

I've always found them enjoyable with last one in true vein of it being Lost Horizon. If it wasn't for such games, i'd never could feel a glimpse of some far-away land or culture that i'd never have chance to visit, even being it in the virtual sense. But some games really do justice by doing a great research of those areas, buildings, people.. that you can almost feel yourself as a tourist I've never been in Turkey for example, but having played Byzantine: The Betrayal i can almost say i did

When I was a kid I used to love geography, had lots of stickers placed on different locations in my atlas and wall maps and I used to draw lots of maps! I still like geography, still got my atlas , digital maps and tons of landscapes and locations in pictures in my pc! Except the drawing maps part! I love games that at least try to be accurate about real locations! And games that show traveling maps, like Fate of Atlantis, Tunguska or Chronicles of mystery or Lost Horizon ,etc, and then I take my time to admire the view and scenery where I arrived at. And if I really really like a location I start searching the internet for more info on it!

And if life was a little like an world traveling adventure game than I wouldn't be here typing! You rarely get any money topic come up when traveling in adventure games...

Anyway, I DO love that sort of games and the possibility to see even virtually, some of the locations I would like to visit.

=> I just updated the list with all of your correct guesses.
venir = to come, but venir de + infinitive form of another verb => to express recent completion of an action, i.e. "just ___-ed"
mettre = to put, but mettre Ã* jour = to update
'bonnes réponses' literally means "good answers"

That was everyone's French grammar lesson for the day. ( to online translators!) We now return you to your regularly scheduled quiz. Thank you.

12. and 16. finally guessed correctly!
Here are wider shots of the remaining pics:

1.

13.

22. (view rotated slightly from original pic)

24.

29.

BTW, geography was one of my better subjects in school, and one of my hobbies as a kid was mapmaking (both real and imaginary places). I love the challenge of mapping an adventure game location, you should see all the ones I've made as part of my regular AG note-taking process (especially the RHEM games! ) Although it's been a few years since I played A Quiet Weekend in Capri, I still want to take a vacation there.
