Adventure game scene… uh, game (continued)
Oh, you youngsters…
Hint: It’s not a rubber chicken and it doesn’t have a pulley in the middle of it.
Pulley not included, I repeat.

That must be the chicken from one of your favorite games, Starship Titanic.
Speaking of… has anyone ever done a quiz on cursors? That would be pretty interesting!
Yes, once. A long time ago. I have a very vague memory of it. Zorba, do you remember? In those days you still participated in quizzes.
EDIT: I thought it might have been Trunkyo, can’t find it in the archives. I clearly remember Trunkyo did a few very hard quizzes of symbols from mostly Mystian games, but I can’t find those either. 
Problem is, I can’t log in anymore cause I forgot my ancient password, and the search function doesn’t work when you’re not logged in. Not that it matters in the slightest, anyone who wants to should do a cursor quiz.

Bastich did a nice cursor quiz at Just Adventure many years ago, and I did a small one over at Mystery Manor in 2005.

You’re absolutely right!
The first thing I’ll do when the weather turns gloomy will be to replay that game once more.
Zorba, do you remember? In those days you still participated in quizzes.
Ah, those were the days (of annoyment and frustration 
; always striving to be the best).

Must have been at JA then.

And you were the best! 
You also kept lists and records, so I thought you might know. We didn’t have Timovieman’s “important threads” thread back then.
I was going to post a pic of a chicken with a pulley - yes, really! - but imgur has problems apparently and I don’t know how to use the forum software to post pics. As an attachment? Anyway, if somebody else wants to take my turn, be my guest.

Have you tried all the other image upload sites? There are dozens out there.
(I really want to know which game has a chicken with a pulley!)
Okidoki. Here’s Zobrak’s chicken with a pulley added.
“A chicken… dead. Not flesh… but a strange material… elastic!”
The background doesn’t help, I know, but I can’t do anything about that. The chicken is an inventory object.
EDIT: I hadn’t noticed that this particular site keeps the pic’s name (imgur doesn’t) and of course I used the game’s name. LOL! Pic removed, new name. All fine now.

It’s from “The Secret of Monkey Island”, the 2030 remastered edition.
Karlok is a wizard from the future and I can’t believe I’ve only figured this out just now.

Hehehehe… no, it is not and it never will be.

Luhr, where are you? You got the pic you asked for, now solve it!

Luhr, where are you? You got the pic you asked for, now solve it!
Yes boss! (Have you been playing Overboard again?) 
“Solve” might be a bit optimistic, since usually you either know the screen or you don’t.
But something tells me I’ve seen this before, and I think it’s a joke item in a serious game.
So given your tastes, my logically reasoned guess is.. Eyes of Ara?

Yes I have. My next avatar will be the thoroughly bad, brutal, bossy Veronica Villensey.

Exactly. An easter egg in a serious game.

Good thinking but no. Worse, it’s a game I haven’t played. I got the chicken some time ago for a quiz that I’ve decided will never see the light of day.

nice.
Alright, let’s try something. “The Invisible Hours”?
I thought it might have been Trunkyo, can’t find it in the archives. I clearly remember Trunkyo did a few very hard quizzes of symbols from mostly Mystian games, but I can’t find those either.
You can use the Google Advanced Search, specify “https://adventuregamers.com/archive/forums/” as “site or domain”, and you’ll find whatever you want. I’ll try to find Trunkyo’s quizzes and let you know where on old AG forum they are.
P.S. Check this.

Nope. It’s a few years older.

Aha, that’s clever of you. Or dumb of me. Thanks!
