Quiz: Take Cover!
"You better run, you better take cover"
Inspired by this and this thread, i figured it's time for box art quiz! And just to make things more straightforward, i decided to focus only on main characters on those cover arts, but the "problem" is that sometimes their appeareance differ from in-game. There's only one instance where i'm not 100% certain he/she is the main character, but i very well think he/she is. In some cases the character might be one out of more playable characters. One picture is taken rather from the inside cover. Some of the covers are country-exclusives, like in some cases they're not either US/UK boxes. And if you're feeling adventurous, you can find plenty of cover arts at Adventure-Archiv and Mobygames. Rules: Only one guess in the first guessing round. Second round will begin... well, after the first round. p.s. thanx to Trunkyo for the labeling system |

Let me guess: the third round will start after the second round?
I'm slowly picking the logic of the whole scheme.

Well... err... it's a very sofisticated.. ummm, well it's placing pictures in rows rather than on top of each other , and placing little numbers on them yes i know, i expressed myself with a broken english, thank you
back to the drawing board... |

Paint, right? I used it for my final quiz. I'd asked Trunkyo how he managed his 150 pics and he told me. But by labeling I meant your cute numbers. Mine weren't as nice as yours and neither were Trunkyo's.
Yes, it's a fairly easy quiz but that's goooood! Some of my quizzes were far too hard and people lose interest. |

Why isn't anyone playing lookalikes? New rule: you can't make a guess unless you post lookalike
1. Eric the Unready, Eric - Arial Type 2. Clandestiny, Andrew MacPhiles - Fien 3. 4. Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle of Flesh, Curtis Craig - Trunkyo 5. Flight of the Amazon Queen, Joe King - Oscar 6. Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders, Zak McKracken - Drolin 7. 8. The Immortals of Terra: A Perry Rhodan Adventure, Perry Rhodan - SpeedBo 9. 10. Rex Nebular and the Cosmic Gender Bender, Rex Nebular - OneFlesh 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. Escape from Monkey Island, Guybrush Threepwood - SweetDalilah 16. Quest for Glory I: So You Want To Be A Hero, Hero - Kurufinwe 17. King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride, Princess Rosella - Elena 18. The Longest Journey, April Ryan - zobraks 19. Blue Heat, Holly Jacobson - GreyFuss 20. GO! Escape from Monkey Island cover is taken from a hillarious PS version. April Ryan is as seen only in Spanish version of the game. Blue Heat was the one i wasn't quite sure whether it's the main character, and the one which wasn't taken from the front cover. I made a mistake though, it's not the inside art but from the back of the box. Oh, yeah, i forgot to mention - if your shelf looks ANYTHING like THIS, you're banned from playing the quiz Paint rules although i'm also a proud Gimp user Last edited by diego; 08-22-2011 at 04:25 PM. |
