I have 2 questions for Kosta:
1) How many points are awarded for the answers submitted after the 2 day period?

2) Maybe I'm wrong, but are you sure that the screenshot #45 belongs to the game "Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday" and not to its sequel "Matrix Cubed"? I haven't found that exact screenshot anywhere, so I can't be completely sure about this, but as far as I know both games used the same graphic interface (or at least a very similar one) and could be easily confused. However, the posted screenshot has some text that describes that man wearing a ring with the letters P-U-R-G-E. I've searched thoroughly in reviews and walkthroughts for both games (there's only a few I must say) and the organization P.U.R.G.E. is part of the plot in "Matrix Cubed" and does not appear at all in "Countdown to Doomsday" (check HOTU). That's why I believe that game really is "Buck Rogers: Matrix Cubed".

Ok, now I'm 100% sure... as a matter of fact, game #45 is "Buck Rogers: Matrix Cubed". I just downloaded it from HOTU to check whether the game interface was the same as in "Countdown to Doomsday" and yeah, it's the same.... but that's not all. Luckily the posted screenshot appears right away after starting the game! You should correct that answer.

Sorry if I caused any inconvenience to you Kosta.

Gah! I thought number 20 was Gateway II- I have that game but not on CD so it seems I never got to see that intro :S

I think that there isn't CD version for GateWay 2, in fact, that cutscene shows up at the beginning of the game, when you left the building, at least in the version that can be downloaded here in abandonia.

I'm really disapointed with my performance in this contest :blink: Now I know that I really could find answers to all screens I didn't answer. And about one of the games... one of the easiest... my first impression was right, but I really couldn't confirm it, so I didn't send it :wallbash:

It is Matrix Cubed. I supplied Kosta with that screen, and also told him that it was Matrix Cubed at the time. This seems to have been a slip-up.

I knew it!
Haha, another 3 points to boost my far to low score.
Since I don't remember all my answers or when I answered them, I think I just might be nudging 70 points or something like that.

So, no ipod for me then.

*edit*
I can't get over the fact that I missed Voyeur and Space Quest 4!
Damnit, I've played those games for effs sake.

I didn't get SQ4 at first either - I first thought it was Rex Nebular but the graphical style didn't match yet I remembered that it was a comedy sci-fi game - it has been 10 years since I played SQ4 though. Voyeur I recognised right away though - bought that game years ago.

I'm thinking of making my own contest - but one that is slightly different :P I'd merge two games into one screenshot and make people guess both games. I wouldn't tell which parts would be off game 1 or game 2 of course ;) What do you think?

Wow that was close! I didn't have much time to look up the last series so I only got three out of 5 there - I thought I was done for :P Don't ask me how the point system works though ;)
