Indeed, I’ve made the quiz slightly harder (as these are not all main or well-known characters), as I wanted to make it challenging even to those with big knowledge or who had played many games. However, some members already recognized 60+ characters (Lady Kestrel leads with 68, SpeedBo and HandsFree follow with 61 and 60) and Dag and Fien got more than a half. As promised, here’s the numerated version, and later I’ll give you the answers:

Whoa, there’s a whole lot more characters there than I first thought. Sneaky! Grin

Duckman: Who cares? Nobody parks there anyway, except for the people who are supposed to park there and, hell, I can outrun them anytime.

Damn, I should have gotten a few more! Grin I’ve played about 90% of those games, I think.

A fun contest, Diego! Good job Smile

I should have gotten 60 right instead of 41. But not in a million years would I have recognized #51. That’s a slumped, middle-aged guy with a pouch, it’s not hero Indiana Jones.

P.S. Diego, I had three wrong, not two. I thought the redhead at #6 was Nina from Tunguska and you let it pass.

PPS: I’m deeply ashamed that I didn’t recognize Watson.

haha, that’s the biggest piece of trivia in this quiz - not just you, but many couldn’t recognize Indy until finally LK and HF cracked it. This is the screenshot I used:


true it’s not of the best quality, but also the fact that he’s without fedora probably has something to do with it Tongue

I remembered that Indy got dressed up to go to the lecture.  I think that’s the only time he dressed differently from his regular adventuring outfit.

I’m laughing at myself regarding Froderick.  I looked at that pink blob a number of times but just couldn’t resolve the image into anything recognizable.  Now that I know what to look for, it’s as clear as day, but I told Diego it looked like a dead flamingo.  Laughing 

Thanks for a terrific puzzle, Diego!  Thumbs Up  Thumbs Up

Yes, very good quiz.  Cool
I also thought 6 was Nina at first, but the clothes seemed wrong. Erica Reed is not on my radar though until the last episode is released. Didn’t know she looked exactly like another adventure character (plus has the last name of again another).

Had looked at some screens from Flight of the Amazon Queen as well but completely missed that gorilla/dino thing. Didn’t really know what I was searching for there.

sorry, I know you and others would have added some more guesses eventually, but my mistake was also not specifying a clear deadline from the start.

hehe… At first while making the quiz, I tried to insert the same gorilla without the suit somewhere in the pic, but wasn’t satisfied how it turned out. I remembered this memorable joke and how it continued in game, and I knew I had to find a place for the dino-gorilla Grin


Thanx everyone! Oh, and I almost forgot, even it’s suffice to say - the beautiful background comes from The Book of Unwritten Tales.

Oh yes, I agree with Lady K, it’s definitely a dead flamingo.  Tongue

Make my 26 into a 25, I mistook Erica Reed for Nina.

I’m also ashamed to not have recognised April from TLJ and Fenton Paddock.
I did recognize Indy, though. But I’ve played that game a few dozen times…

I wanted to include Nina, AND another redhead - Lara from Memento Mori. But I’ve figured it would be too much of a confusion. Grin


Just like dark-haired female protagonists tend to look-a-like - that’s also why I refrained from putting Nicole from Art of Murder or Sylvie from Chronicles of Mystery. Wink
