Quiz: A sailor’s Delight
Thank you, Lakerz! VP’s quizzes are very challenging and also very interesting at the same time.
But I’m sure you can guess something too, Lakerz? Just give it a try.
I’m quite awful at guessing screen shots (if you ever venture over to the continuous adventure game scene thread you can laugh away at my ineptitude haha) but do like these quizzes anyways. Once each screen shot is revealed I can at least find the games I have played and try to remember the scene that was posted. Even then I fail 50% of time which reminds me that game may need to be replayed in future
Final days! The quiz will run until the first day of Februari (a Tuesday), 22.00 CET.
All answers by PM only, one guess per pic per PM. Send as many PMs as you like!
I’m preparing something for the top 3 and a consolation prize for one other contender. The prizes will be humble, but I’ll do my best not to disappoint.

Thanks for the quiz, VP! I’ve really enjoyed! It’s great that you included some Amstrad CPC games also! 
I was really trying to get over #26 but failed miserably. I should probably guess #12 but….
Good job, Lady Kestrel & Jerry!
Congratulations DarkEye! Incredible score!
Also congrats Lady Kestrel! Try as I might, I did not manage to surpass your score 
I have a question, though: can anybody tell me which game #4 is? Above, it says “Orb Quest”, but if I look on the internet, I can’t find anything about it (only a board game)…
Gladly: it’s this little gem: https://cpcrulez.fr/GamesTest/orb_quest.htm
Thanks for playing, your participation is always appreciated.
Great quiz, that was a lot of fun!!! And you also managed to include plenty of games that did not feature in the previous quiz with the similar theme by kate me!
Recently finished: Four Last Things 4/5, Edna & Harvey: The Breakout 5/5, Chains of Satinav 3,95/5, A Vampyre Story 88, Sam Peters 3/5, Broken Sword 1 4,5/5, Broken Sword 2 4,3/5, Broken Sword 3 85, Broken Sword 5 81, Gray Matter 4/5\nCurrently playing: Broken Sword 4, Keepsake (Let\‘s Play), Callahan\‘s Crosstime Saloon (post-Community Playthrough)\nLooking forward to: A Playwright’s Tale
Thanks for the quiz, VP!
Congrats to DarkEye for another crazy score, and to Jerry and Lady K for the shared silver!
I *really* should’ve gotten Indy, as well as Broken Sword 2. I played Freddi Fish just last summer with the kids, but there’s no way I would’ve gotten it… 
The truth can’t hurt you, it’s just like the dark: it scares you witless but in time you see things clear and stark. - Elvis Costello
Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka
I think it checks out! I’m sending a PM top the top 3 and one other participant.
Freddi Fish turned out to be pretty much impossible to identify. The size, rather generic colour and no other identifiers.. you would need the ants of King Anthony.
Thank you for the excellent quiz, VP! It was a fun challenge.
Kudos to DarkEye for finding so many, and to Jerry for keeping me on my toes.
I spent some time looking for Orb Quest. I usually check Moby for the games on early systems but had no luck there. Since I didn’t come across many Armstrad CPC games and knew nothing about the system, I did a search and found the CPC Power website. There were tons of games to look at, but I finally found it. Of course, that meant I missed some of the more familiar ones. (I’m looking at you, Touche!)
I still can’t figure out where in the game the Keepsake screenshot (#38) appears, unless it comes from a different game with the same name. Also, who is the character in Indy & the Last Crusade (#12)? Is it from the graphic adventure or the action one?
Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations.
The ship is in a bottle, on Nathaniel’s desk. “Whooah! What’s going on?” “We’re in the bottle, Lydia!”
The character is an extra, perhaps a local? This gondola is part of the scenery. In the foreground, Indy meets a fellow academic and visits a library.
That’s funny because I remember the bottle but not that shape of the ship. It makes sense, though, because it has dragon wings.
