I just cannot believe I wrote Sam instead of Max..

Oh, well. Since I am under 90, now I wait to see if I am lucky enough to win something through the random pick. But, who cares -- it was a lot of fun to research a bit about these games. Thanks for the contest, red_avatar!

Cheers, Thex.

P.S.: C'mon, my "Transformers: Battle to Save the Earth" was a much better answer than "Paperboy"! After all, (i) they are plastic in their original form, (ii) girls-to-boys (Transform-ISTS), and (iii) they are trying to Save the Earth! Fair enough, this was EXTREMELY obscure, probably did not even make it to the PC, but... well, I have to complain about something, right?

Average= 68,4

The first prize is the Tales of Monkey Island Pre-Order bundle. Second place through Fifth place each receive 3 games. (rules follow below)

Three more prizes have been awarded:

Random prize for Klatuu and RRS (randomly picked using a number generator)
Also a prize for zirkoni who had the best answer for question 10 (68).

These three get to each pick a game from the list (rules follow below).

PRIZE RULES

Okay, to keep things fair, the 4 runner-ups each need to make a list of 10 games with each game in order according to how badly they want the game. For example:

1. Diablo
2. Realms of the Haunting
3. etc.
...
10. The Dig

I will then award each one of the winners with three games according to their list.

The three random winners each get to pick from what is left of the list (don't worry, plenty of good stuff will remain).

Also, a lot of the games in the list come without a manual. This is unavoidable due to the age of some of these games. Nearly all recent games (less than 10 years old) come in their original DVD case WITH manual.

i dint even have time for the screen shots and other parts i just skip cause i didnt find enough time. On treet fiegther 2 mi little brother beat the game with guile doin only the sonic boom without movin doin only that one move so that was my answer guile but i guess thats not a "basic" move so i was wrong

[ThemePark]

Hmm, I was a bit unsatisfied with 1.14 not being Alone in the Dark which I knew had been remade, until I just now realized that I did the same mistake I always do, and mistake Alone in the Dark for Another World (which has been remade). Subsequently I didn't research it. That one question hurts.

"Plastic Girl" immediately makes you think of Barbie.

My goodness, my thoughts exactly. Although I knew scr4 is not WC/Privateer, I saw this game once and was surprised by similarity. Yet I couldn't recall the title!
I was going either with Barbie... or Ken

Wow, I knew I'd be in the Top 5, but I really thought someone was able to do 98/99. Can't believe the tie breaker was necessary either! Incredibly close competition, I'm glad I didn't settle with 90+ and spent a few hours extra to look up the last few answers...

Thanks so much for this contest, it was a lot of fun to compete, although some very deep Google digging was necessary for some of the things I didn't know. Having only played the SNES version of Aladdin (which is completely different) I had no idea about 9.3 and actually searched google for stuff like "monkey bonus flowerpot" which obviously isn't very productive

Congratulations to all other winners too, there are some very nice games to chose from. I'm really looking forward to play the new MI, thanks a lot red. I guess you'll send me a PM about the account transfer?

Congratulations guys
