This screenshot belongs to the game THE GOONIES. In fact, I am not even sure this game existed on the PC. Its a game from the MSX

Obviously, when I gave the CORRECT answer, the site informed I was wrong, even though I am probably the only one correct about it :)

check 00:47, the very same screen as the screenshot from the Quiz.

Of course you're right, but you're wrong.
Screenie is from The Goonies, but it's on site as 'Goonies, The'.
That's why you always must use the 'drop down' selection field.

Thanks, now we all win. :headslap:

Really I am not going to answer it I had no idea where that came from.

You should have made this topic tomorrow, because it's BAD to tell the answer to the quiz. Not to mention that you would have realized you were wrong after all.

I recognized the game immediately I saw the screenshot (as probably many others) :p

I'm posting the same thing here again since I found another thread on the same topic and since I'm so upset today.

Other things also went wrong today and I was looking forward to a tiny bit of pleasure by getting recognized with POE for correctly knowing the quiz (I know - I should get a life!).

Arrgh!!!

I gave the correct answer of Lemmings 2 - The Tribes.

Why can't I get my Pieces of Eight.

I wait all day for the quiz and this is a complete letdown when it fails.

I'm too upset to even leave the appropriate smilies in this post.

Since it doesn't work anyways I'm tired of just leaving a hint and I posted the full correct answer. I'm sorry for not having patience to see how many other ways other posters can show that they know the right answer without spelling it out. The quiz is ruined anyways since it refuses to accept the correct answer.

Besides for those who recognize the lemmings in the screenshot there are only 5 possible games on site that they could have come from. (http://www.abandonia.com/en/search_abandonia/lemmings)

Yup, seems wrong today, happens that the quiz doesn't like few games.
I'll try to find the problem, sorry for the inconvenience.

Again, you could have reported the problem without disclosing the answer.

I have re-uploaded the screenshot, it was corrupted.
This won't solve today's problem but maybe next time it won't happen again.

Well.

I just tried again with a sockpuppet account (literally, I named my user ID sockpuppet) and it still refused to accept the answer.

Again, you could have reported the problem without disclosing the answer.

Well, now that I have calmed down a little, Sorry! Though as I pointed out, the quiz was ruined anyways for everyone since it is impossible to get it correct.

Hey thanks, today it worked for that game!

I really appreciate it as I wait all day for the quiz. You know, I have committed to memory all 1334 games currently on Abondonia with a total of 9205 screenshots and its gratifying to be able to answer the quiz when it works. I even memorized the additional screenshots to the April fool's games and the mistakenly listed games like this one (http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/showthread.php?t=27575)!

Oh man o manometer, that's pretty impressive!
And here am I, kinda glad to know probably some 50 or 60% of the games hosted on AB, *maybe* 50-60%.

I really appreciate it as I wait all day for the quiz.

Tried. Worked.

It always good to check screen with review of your "definitely it is" game. Usually it's still wrong game for you. :)

But I found another error for Dave... :)

Ok thanks, in any case I'll spend some minutes investigating on multiple answers that may have led to mistakes.

If you have older computer, sometimes the advertisements prevent the engine showing up the list when typing in. In that case reload the page for simplier advertisements.
Or just type in the title manually, not forgetting capital at the beggining of each word.
