Quiz: Casual Friday
Due to Mystery Manor tourney going on, this will be a quick and short one. You could tell adventure from non-adventure alright, but how well do you know your casuals? These are 16 paired screenshots, one is the casual adventure, and the other a regular one. Which is which? Guesses by PM only (1a-regular 1b-casual; 2a-casual 2b-regular and so on). edit: You have until Tuesday 15th, 10:00 PM CET

Great Quiz Diego, no one seen it coming
Nice puzzle, Diego! I’m surprised at how many of the casual games I recognize.

This has to be the worst case of bad timing since Napoleon decided to invade Russia in the middle of winter.

Casuals are premium? And where’re your guesses?

Alrighty - let’s see the scores:
1. TimovieMan - 16
2. Lady Kestrel - 15
3. Fien - 12
3. Advie - 12
4. kate me - 11
5. Intense Degree - 10
So, our moderator is not only an expert in non-adventures, but he also plays casuals!
...wait, I play casuals, too! I’ve included Royal Trouble in 1b, a game that I’ve finished and can recommend to anyone looking for a light-medieval fun, although it didn’t prove to fool anyone when it comes to guessing. Another one I’ve played is Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the Baskervilles in 6a, which wasn’t that bad at all, although there was too much hidden objects for my taste, if I remember correctly.
Everybody else did great, too, and all of the players also correctly named many of those adventures/casuals - choosing on random here: Fien guessed Blackstone Chronicles in 2a, Mystery Case Files: Dire Grove in 3a and Nibiru in 15a, TimovieMan placed right 3 Cards to Midnight in 2b and Amerzone in 10a, kate me cracked Destination: Treasure Island in 1a, Shannara in 8b, The Abbey in 16a and Journey to the Center of the Earth in 4a…
The pair which gave you the most trouble was under 16a/b - but I’ve gotta come clean here - what I did was a dirty, the lowest of all the lowdown tricks... I took a shot from this review with the screenshot showing bug in the game Inventory isn’t supposed to “fly around” in The Abbey as far as I know, but I’ve thought to myself - this will make them think it’s casual!
And one another thing - led by the AG review, I’ve considered Haunting at Cliffhouse in 10b a casual (although previous two games in the Cindy Pondillo’s series were adventure games), but since it’s really a touchy area, I’ve decided to give everyone a point for this one.
And now - the prizes!
TimovieMan in 1st place gets:
How to dress in the army!
Lady Kestrel in 2nd place gets:
A casual friend for a Halloween!
Fien in 3rd place gets:

kate me in 4th place gets:
A casual elephant!
and Intense Degree, in 5th place gets:

I don’t actually, but I recognize the style most of the time (and made lucky guesses the rest of the time).
TimovieMan placed right 3 Cards to Midnight in 2b and Amerzone in 10a
Except that 10a was Congo: Descent into Zinj and not Amerzone…
And now - the prizes!
Love the prizes!
4. Journey To The Center Of The Earth
See, I KNEW I had played this but couldn’t place it…

Oops… The thing is, I’ve had this Haunting at Cliffhouse shot, and was looking for a pair. I’m certain I’ve considered Amerzone for this one (and maybe for some others, too), but then remembered Congo as an even better match with its greenish flora.

It was a nice quiz diego, sorry I didn’t have time to take part this time!
The prizes are a riot, Diego! Thanks for the fun.
Carpe chocolate.
I only got eight. All of them casuals with the exception of AVS which most of us just played, so that was a no brainer. Glad I didn’t post. Result would have been embarrassing.
For whom the games toll,
they toll for thee.
Great job, guys!
I am baaaaaaaack!
