I propose this thread, where we can write the name of the Daily screen shot of one day ago, and any review anyone would like to add for that game.

Like this the daily quiz can also become something like a daily random game choice (like at abandonia reloaded homepage). A daily game to give a try or at least a look.
Some days ago it was
Budokan. nice action game of martial arts, nice graphics.

.......

Yesterday it was wasteland, but the quiz was bugged. anyway i went to the page and read about it.

Who would like to continue?.......

Very nice idea Juanca.;)
Maybe I'll change the name into something more official, in the meantime...pinned!
Moreover I suggest to add the screenshoot near the title and a link to the review :)

Edit: I edited your post.

Nice game, i gave it a try, nice graphics and animations. didn't have any problem that was mentioned. i think the review is a little bit hard.:)

Thanks, Luchsen! I too was wondering what it was.

And Juanca, it seems to me that a lot of the reviews on here are rather hard. And the community ratings are awfully hard, too. I guess a lot of people are expecting flashy 3D graphics and smooth modern gameplay when they download things from here . . . or just everyone rates when they're having a bad day. :)

Yes, they forget when it was made and the artistic beauty behind only one Megabyte! to me tis is amazing how all these games are done in such a small space of info.

The solution on the quiz box is a nice idea, for someone who is in hurry or does not want to go and take a tour through the forum.
but what if i didn't open the quiz two days ago and i was wondering what was that solution?
when i see a screenshot sometimes i get attracted to the game and if i can't go to the internet the next day, then i lost the opportunity to know which game it was.
I believe this thread is still useful as long as people come to see it, and more if you are subscribed and you can receive an e-mail every day with the yesterdays quiz.

The quiz is automatically generated and the game (and screenshot) chosen by random if I've understood it correctly.

I bet it bugs on this one because the input parser doesn't handle the & correctly.

Exactly, i remember because it was too easy (the answer was in the same screenshot :laugh:) so:

1) Wasteland
2) Command & Conquer
3) Today quiz (personally verified corrispondence between screenshot & recension) : ******* ***** and *** **** *******

I looked for that second game title but can't find it???

I choose the second option to test it, wrong too. :oh:

From all the games into Oldwarez List.

What's the point of having a trivia game if you don't win even when you're right?

This time, there is no stupid special characters or something which get in the way of the trivia dropdown. It's clearly faulty.

Do a full refresh.
In Firefox it's CTRL+SHIFT+R, in IE CTRL+F5 (and works for FF as well).

By the way, the quiz just got updated so that it automatically displays what was the last day's game.

how can this be possible if the quiz renews every 24 hours? and 24 hours after stunt driver i saw yesterday quiz which was,

Rise of the Dragon (http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/376/Rise+of+the+Dragon.html)

I dont know how but Conquests of the Longbow - The Legend of Robin Hood was up on Site. I dont know when i solved the Quiz.

So its is like this:

Stunt Driver 00:10 (some minutes after Midnight)
Conquests of the Longbow - The Legend of Robin Hood about 20:00? (dont know when it was)

That would explain why Stunt Driver was not there as Answer in the next Days Quiz, because Conquest was the last before Midnight.

And I think all the confusion over 'it was A; no it was B yesterday' is relating to what time zone Adandonia considers 'home' - when it rolls over to midnight there, it can be mid-morning in some places east of it, and yet still late evening of the previous day to the west...

Darn! I was absent yesterday when I am sure I could have guessed the screenshot: Space Quest 5 - Roger Wilco in The Next Mutation. Oh well...

Today's screenshot is a game where I have a love-and-hate feeling. I like the atmosphere, and the game style, but hate the inability to save anytime anywhere without looking for the shrine. That, and the fact that monsters respawn get tiring after a while.

Well... If you really follow the law of chaos and the law of probability... The chance of actually having the quiz picking every single game at least once before restarting again is so remote that there would be a reason to doubt the randomness of the whole thing if it did happen that way. :p

So I don't quite follow what you're trying to imply here...
