This was indeed a nice contest. My answers for set 6 seem to never have reached Kosta unfortunately :-/ And I had 4 out of 5 correct :wallbash:

Congratulation to Red Avatar and everybody else who kicked my arse and thanks to Kosta for this great contest!!! I learned a lot during these past weeks and found tons of cool games I've never seen while searching for the answers, but I'm glad it's over... sometimes I couldn't sleep trying to figure out the games I didn't knew. Now that I have time I'm going to download some of those games and enjoy!

Thanks again Kosta!

P.S. An advice to all those people complaining about unsent PMs: you should have used the message tracker option. That way you'd allways be sure whether your message got read or not k: and it avoids the neccessity to bug the receiver with constant "did you get my PM?" messages.

The 'message tracker' option is great, however, it doesn't always work. I had a few messages that were marked 'unread', but after Kosta read it, they didn't change to 'read'. They just disappeared from message tracker. So I didn't have any idea whether ther were read or not, and I just had to PM Kosta again, asking if he got my answers. Fortunately, he did. k:

OMG, I just realized that was the way the "message tracker" works. I didn't even notice there was a "read messages" section (doh! stupid me! ). Only 1 out of 13 tracked PMs got into the "read" section, all of the other ones just dissapeared from the "unread" section after being read by Kosta (I thought that was the way the tracker worked). However, judging from my personal experience I can say that if the message dissapears from the unread section it has been read for sure (thanks god). Anyway, I always kept a copy of the PM'd answers in the sent items folder. In case of any problem they were proof of the time and date I sent them.

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.

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.

Wow, I had Matrix Cubed right! With the 3 extra points, assuming the 3 guys above me (jigglypuff, squizzz and The Noid) didn't get Matrix Cubed right, I could tie for 7th place. Doesn't get me to the top 5, but it's respectably closer...

Ha! But I had Matrix Cube right, so :P

Anyways, great contest.
If I'd only had managed to get a some more of those last ones right I would have won... something at least.

I'm rather pleased with myself tho, since most of my wild guesses was, if not correct, at least not completely off the mark.
