Default 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

It's still early to pronounce second round, but that's not the reason not to make lookalikes in the meantime!

1. and Agassi

7. and Andy Garcia

10. and Val Kilmer

5. and James Stewart

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

Easy quiz by the way. For those of us who like to show off their game boxes.

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.

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.
