Title: Adventure game quiz
Post by: Wraith on November 05, 2003, 04:29:59 PM
Okay, here's a question....There's a monster/creature running amok in a submarine somewhere in the frozen waters of the Antarctic. What's that adventure game called?  First one to answer gets 35 AG Points.

Prisoner of Ice? Just guessing, didn't play it.
Title: Re:TODO list online
Post by: MMR on November 05, 2003, 05:04:25 PM
Yep, is Prisoner of Ice. I'm very very very sure  ::)

Mnemonic won the 35 points :(
Title: Re:TODO list online
Post by: Wraith on November 05, 2003, 05:05:27 PM
Yep!!  You got it!  I played the game and it was not too "shabby".  A tamed-down version of John Carpenter's "The Thing" if I remember.  A little bit of suspense and fear without the graphic gore or extreme violence.  
25 AG points awarded!
-W
Title: Re:TODO list online
Post by: Wraith on November 05, 2003, 05:25:20 PM
Sorry, you actually only get 25 points because of the international exchange and conversion rates of AG points and subtraction of tax and shipping fees.  Good job though.
-W  ;D

Darn! I hear this all the time! ;)


Ok, let's go on. The rules: someone puts an adventure game related question. The one who guesses right gets a point and asks another question, ok? Hints allowed.


Ok, my turn: It's a game, although it's questionable whether it's a pure adventure game. The main hero is a young CIA operative.

Ok, let's go on. The rules: someone puts an adventure game related question. The one who guesses right gets a point and asks another question, ok? Hints allowed.

I also think that the author of the question should reveal the answer after 24 hours if nobody answers it and get the points for making a hard question :). And ofcourse earn the chance to ask another question.

Ok, my turn: It's a game, although it's questionable whether it's a pure adventure game. The main hero is a young CIA operative.

How young? I am thinking of "Teen Agent" but I can't be sure. How many answers can I give?
Title: Re:Question #2

Hm, right. But maybe it should take more than 24 hours, considering all that timezone stuff... :)


How young? I am thinking of "Teen Agent" but I can't be sure. How many answers can I give?

Nope, not THAT young. This game is very serious, trying to be realistic. Plus, you're ignoring my hint "it's questionable whether it's a pure adventure game". Teen Agent sure is ;)
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: McCoy on November 05, 2003, 10:37:11 PM
CSI maybe? Guess not... but anyway, I have to try. Or hm... I was going to say Hopkins FBI but that's pure adventure, FBI and not CIA, and the main character is not exactly young LOL
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Mnemonic on November 05, 2003, 10:41:23 PM
No, I didn't play CSI but I doubt it involved CIA.

Ok, a hint: It's a rather old game, it was published in 1996 by Activision.
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: odnorf on November 06, 2003, 02:37:33 AM
Hm... let me try again. Is it "Spycraft"?
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Mnemonic on November 06, 2003, 08:10:40 AM
Yes, it's Spycraft: The Great Game. And the game is really great, highly recommended.
Did you know it or did you google it? ;) Ok, your turn, odnorf.
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: odnorf on November 06, 2003, 09:54:45 AM
Hehe... I knew the game but I have never actually played it. And to be sure I checked around the internet a little :) Oh... and it doesn't look like an adventure, rather an interactive movie.

OK... my turn. It's a game. It was a knew genre when it was published, but imo it is 90% an adventure game. The main town's name is the name of a famous director. I want the name of the game AND the director. (This should be very easy I think... I keep the hard questions for the next days :))
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Mnemonic on November 06, 2003, 11:42:17 AM
(This should be very easy I think... I keep the hard questions for the next days :))

Not really. I don't have a clue :)
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: odnorf on November 06, 2003, 12:37:24 PM
Ok...ok... maybe it is not as easy as I thought in the begining. ;) So, here is a few more hints: This game has two names because the company that developed AND published it had problems with licences (the old name belong to another company). But the two versions are indeed different because they recreated the graphics.
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Mnemonic on November 06, 2003, 01:01:23 PM
Well, I can only think of one game which changed name/graphics, Kronolog/Red Hell. But it 1)sucked  2)doesn't fit the rest of your description.
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Mnemonic on November 06, 2003, 01:22:25 PM
Ow, I'm stooopid, is it Hero's Quest / Quest for Glory?
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: odnorf on November 06, 2003, 02:25:01 PM
Ow, I'm stooopid, is it Hero's Quest / Quest for Glory?

Yeah! Now... wasn't that difficult, was it?
But in order to have the right to ask a new question you need to tell me the name of the Director/City.  ;D

And the score so far is : Mnemonic(2), McCoy(1), odnorf(1)
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Mnemonic on November 06, 2003, 02:27:02 PM
Ha! You've edited the original question, didn't you? I don't know the name, I'd have to look it up :)
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Mnemonic on November 06, 2003, 02:35:00 PM
Spielburg? ;D
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: odnorf on November 06, 2003, 04:02:35 PM
Yes... that's correct! Your turn!

Ha! You've edited the original question, didn't you?

I have edited the question 1 minute after I had posted it. So you must have seen it...


(Are we nuts?)
Title: New question
Post by: Mnemonic on November 06, 2003, 04:14:39 PM
(Are we nuts?)

No doubt :)


Yes... that's correct! Your turn!

It is a very unique adventure game with a few action sequences. The game begins in France in 1914.
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: McCoy on November 06, 2003, 05:26:18 PM
Mhhhh... Could it be... The last express?
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Mnemonic on November 06, 2003, 05:44:00 PM
YES! It was easy, wasn't it? :) Your turn, McCoy.
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: McCoy on November 06, 2003, 05:55:19 PM
Ok, so the actual score is:

Mnemonic(3), McCoy(2), odnorf(1) (I suggest that everytime a new question starts, the person who post it has to write the score...)

Well, here it goes:

In this game, the main character only says 3 sentences in ALL of the game.

It's an adventure game, of course.

And, because I'm jealous of odnorf, you'll have to tell me the name of the game AND the 3 sentences the main character uses.
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Mnemonic on November 06, 2003, 06:35:34 PM
It's "The Terminator - adventure game edition" and those three sentences are "I need your clothes", "I'll be back" and "Fu*k you asshole" ;)

Ok, just kidding. I probably didn't play the game, because for me adventure game = rich dialogues (or at least rich monologues). Neverhood comes to my mind, but I suppose Clayman didn't say even a single sentence.
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: odnorf on November 06, 2003, 06:53:58 PM
It's a really long shot but two games I can think are "Myst" and "Alone in the dark".

I'll rethink this tomorrow...
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: McCoy on November 06, 2003, 08:33:41 PM
Nope, none of them...  


A (very little...) hint. In fact, the first two sentences are only one word each, and the last one is composed by two words... LOL
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: odnorf on November 06, 2003, 10:11:45 PM
I think I got it! Is it Curse of Enchantia?  ;)

And  the two of the three sentences are: "Hi" and "Help".
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Mnemonic on November 07, 2003, 10:46:45 AM
I think it's safe to assume odnorf is right. Next question, please :)
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: odnorf on November 07, 2003, 03:01:04 PM
I think it's safe to assume odnorf is right.

But let's wait for McCoy to answer this... :-) And we also need the third sentence which I don't know.

Next question, please :)

It's an adventure game and the most common action for the player is to use aspirins :).
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Mnemonic on November 07, 2003, 03:12:46 PM
It's an adventure game and the most common action for the player is to use aspirins :).

Wild guess: Dark Seed? :)

Well, yes, he was right! Anyway, the third sentence was "Open sesame!"  :P No problem, you earned the point  ;)

Very good odnorf. So, scores:

Mnemonic(3), McCoy(2), odnorf(2)

That was easy.... Your turn...

Quote
Mnemonic(3), McCoy(2), odnorf(2)

Have I missed something? I think that now (after the "Dark seed" question") Mnemonic got 3 points... (unless you cound my "Hero's quest" question as two points???).
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Mnemonic on November 07, 2003, 03:24:25 PM
I think the score is Mnemonic(3), odnorf(2), McCoy(1), but I may be wrong :)


Next question:

Hint 1: In the beginning of the game, you have to investigate a murder of a private investigator.

Hint 2: There are two versions of the game, CD and floppy. The interesting thing is they have different names.


EDIT: And, naturally, I want both names ;)
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: odnorf on November 07, 2003, 04:05:24 PM
I think the score is Mnemonic(3), odnorf(2), McCoy(1), but I may be wrong :)

And by counting the question I have asked at the ToDo list thread it's Mnemonic(3), McCoy(2), odnorf(2).... :)
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Mnemonic on November 07, 2003, 04:08:53 PM
Oh, I forgot the SQ4 question, sorry McCoy ;)
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz

Oww... this is madness...  :'( LOL
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: odnorf on November 07, 2003, 08:49:48 PM
Hm... that's a good one Mnemonic. I can't think of anything... Do you always play adventure games with Detectives, CIA, FBI etc ?
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Mnemonic on November 07, 2003, 10:17:03 PM
Ok, a BIG hint: the game takes place in the Soviet Union.
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Musta Kaapu on November 08, 2003, 11:52:38 AM

Wild guess, KGB / Conspiracy?
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Mnemonic on November 08, 2003, 01:43:27 PM
Correct! One of my favorite games.

Mnemonic(3), McCoy(2), odnorf(2), Musta Kaapu(1).
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: odnorf on November 08, 2003, 04:36:56 PM
I knew this game but I have never played it. Is it really that good?

Let's have the next question Musta Kaapu  :)
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Musta Kaapu on November 08, 2003, 04:53:18 PM
In which adventure game you investigate the death of a mayor's daughter in futuristic Los Angeles?  :P
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Mnemonic on November 08, 2003, 05:39:58 PM
I knew this game but I have never played it. Is it really that good?

Well, I like it a LOT. It's a story full of conspiracies, and it's also pretty hard to play. After all, see for yourself: http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=586
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Mnemonic on November 08, 2003, 06:31:28 PM

Hmmm, could it be Martian Merorandum? Probably not, the girl in MM was (supposed to be) kidnapped, not dead...

And also the game's "playground" is San Francisco and not Los Angeles  ;D
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: odnorf on November 08, 2003, 07:57:47 PM
And the correct reply is "Rise of the Dragon" by Dynamix  ;D ;D ;D Is this true?

I remember that I liked this game, althought I have never actually finished it. It was too difficult for a young boy.
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Mnemonic on November 08, 2003, 10:42:47 PM

And I believe you're right with the Rise of the Dragon. Let's move on!

Post by: odnorf on November 09, 2003, 01:25:59 PM
In this adventure game you meet E.T. and you have a chance to do the famous finger-to-finger trick with him :) (I hope you know what I am talking about.)
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: odnorf on November 10, 2003, 09:36:47 AM
Noone? Is it so difficult?

Another hint: It's the sixth game of a series
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Uhfgood on November 10, 2003, 11:04:47 AM
I'd have to say space quest 6, but i'm just guessing, as I don't remember an ET sequence in it.  (I guess I should play it again)

Keith
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: odnorf on November 10, 2003, 02:44:45 PM
Your guess is correct Uhfgood  ;D

Your turn now...

Score so far : Mnemonic(3), odnorf(3), McCoy(2), Musta Kaapu(1), Uhfgood(1).

PS. The ET sequence was in the begining of the game. You can find ET inside a store.
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Uhfgood on November 10, 2003, 07:44:24 PM
This should be an easy one... In which adventure concerns a man with a log (yes the wooden kind)?

Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: odnorf on November 10, 2003, 08:03:16 PM
Ehhh.... my vocabulary lacks many words, so what is a wooden log? (I know what "wooden" is  ;D)
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Uhfgood on November 11, 2003, 04:28:02 AM
When you cut a tree down, a piece of the trunk, if it's longer than it is wide, is called a log.  Basically any long cylindrical object is called a log.

Keith
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Mnemonic on November 11, 2003, 03:45:47 PM
Obviously we don't know :) Give us a hint.

Yeah! Give us a hint...

(I am trying to remember if the character in "Simon the Sorcerer" has a log... Hm...)
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz

The man needs the log for posterity ;-)

Is it Loom?
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Uhfgood on November 12, 2003, 10:04:35 AM
Odnorf nice try but no...

Okay another hint, but this one should practically give it away.  He needs to give the log to someone else the other person can build a fire.

I can't think of anything else. According to "Adventure Games Quiz Rule #45-56B"  ;) and if it's ok with the othe players you should ask a new question (and earn one point).
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: McCoy on November 12, 2003, 03:29:02 PM
Yes, I think it's ok, because I really have no idea...  :'(

Sounds like Jefferson's log to make a fire for the "fire alarm" ?
I'd say it's DOTT...  8)

Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Uhfgood on November 13, 2003, 07:53:28 AM
HAHA I didn't think about your icon, and of course you are correct ;-)

Jerrot wins!

Thomas Jefferson in Day of the Tentacle wants to keep his log but John Hancock is freezing, and you basically have to find a way to get it from him so you can build a fire.

All right - maybe too easy, but I'm newbie in this thread. ;)

So: in which adventure do you find a cleaning tool with eyes ?

Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Musta Kaapu on November 14, 2003, 05:50:59 PM
Zak McKraken and the Alien Mindbenders.

You have to clean the train station (or some part of it) with the alien who looks like a broom.  :)

Hi guys. May i play with you? Ok thanks  :)  

My question is:

What was the name of the main character in the adventure, which calls
Horke Leto?

A)Jan Nemoda  B)Bozena z Valstejna     C)Honza Majer

:)) It's hard right?

Hi guys. May i play with you? Ok thanks  :)  

My question is:

Actually the rules state that the one who answers right asks the next question. But since I don't have any question ready, I guess we can "bend" the rules for this time.  ;D

What was the name of the main character in the adventure, which calls
Horke Leto?

A)Jan Nemoda  B)Bozena z Valstejna     C)Honza Majer

Just guessing, answer c)  ???

Kevniekss: Hey, it's not fair to ask for a game none of them could have played! But still, Musta Kaapu guessed it right :)

Mnemonic(3), odnorf(3), McCoy(2), Musta Kaapu(3), Uhfgood(1), Jerrot(1)


Musta Kaapu asks the next question! :P
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Musta Kaapu on November 15, 2003, 10:56:59 AM
Let's try a little different approach this time. ;)  

The game is an adventure game mixed with rpg elements featuring vampires and cyberspace (and at least one vampire in cyberspace, if I remember correctly)

Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Mnemonic on November 17, 2003, 02:55:34 PM
NO!!! ::) (although there was one, if I remember correctly)

Ok, definitely the last hint: one of this forum members has the same nick as the name of the game...

Now you have to guess it! Obviously none of you played the game :)
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Jerrot on November 17, 2003, 03:13:42 PM
Now you have to guess it! Obviously none of you played the game :)

For sure not. ;) ok, last guess - "Dreamweb". (I know it's a game and some kind of adventure, but no idea if the rest fits...)

aaah... and it's the latest user, which is displayed on the front page of the forum, guess now i get it... ;)

Title: Re:Adventure game quiz

Hooray! Yes, it's Dream Web. Whew, that was tough... ;)

Title: Re:Adventure game quiz

Ok... so I hope this one is harder.

In this adventure, you need mash to escape from a prison.

(But that's not the whole storyline! ;) )
That's enough for a first tip, hehe...
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz

I'd say Abe's Oddysee, but it's not an adventure game :)

Post by: odnorf on November 19, 2003, 10:23:24 AM
Actually I think that Mnemonic is correct. And I'd say that "Abe's Oddysee" has some adventure elements too...

Is it "Feeble Files"? (In Germany the game had a different title which I can't remember.)

I don't know that game and yes, in Germany they like to use completely different titles, such as Broken Sword -> Baphomets Fluch :)

Yes, I think it could be... I have that game, and I remember that it was about some kind of revolution against the rulers of some space region or something like that, and that you were some kind of dumb alien... But I don't remember about the mash and the jail... I think I never played so far -_-

PS. I changed my avatar again to reflect the current situation (I have 5 days...)

Oh man... Well, if it conforts you in some way, I'll tell you that next week I have, say, 7 exams in 3 days... I know it's not the same, though -_-U. Anyway, good luck and try to keep up! We will be waiting for your comeback!  ;)

Yeah, point to odnorf. And it's "Floyd" in German. :)

One of my favorite non-LucasArt classic adventures.

This should be easy (but we have all said this before  ;)).

Hint: It's an adventure game and the main character has amnesia and some... ehm.... metallic parts in his body.
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Mnemonic on November 19, 2003, 07:20:54 PM
Could it be... Bioforge? But it's also not exactly a point'n'click adventure.
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: odnorf on November 19, 2003, 11:49:18 PM
Yeah.... it's Bioforge. ;D ;D ;D  I said that it would be easy...

Anyway the score is :
Mnemonic(5), odnorf(4), Musta Kaapu(3), McCoy(2), Jerrot(2), Uhfgood(1)

...and it's your turn.

So? Are we only playing with point'n'click adventures?  ;) Any adventure, action adventure (NO NO NO... Tomb Raiden is NOT an action adventure), text adventure, adventure/rpg, real-time 3d adventure etc would be good I think.
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Mnemonic on November 20, 2003, 08:14:41 AM
Ok, I'll paraphrase odnorf's question a bit: It's an adventure game and the main character has amnesia and he DOESN'T have any metallic parts in his body ;D

And it's (mostly) point'n'click this time, and when I first saw the game, I was amazed by the cinematic sequences with real actors (ok, the game's old, today it wouldn't amaze anyone).
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Mnemonic on November 20, 2003, 04:02:27 PM
Hint: It's a game from the creators of Tex Murphy.

Countdown ?

EDIT: Countdown!! Sure! And with digitized sound, wheeew... that's some time ago indeed...

Ok, please tell me:

in which adventure do you discover a creature by melting a large ice block ?

(Actually it's quite famous but... quite poor, too. ;) !)
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: odnorf on November 20, 2003, 08:04:45 PM
All I can think is "Stupid Invaders". (DOTT and Sam&Max had creatures inside ice blocks too but it can't be them)

PS. Oh... and Countdown has pretty good animations even for today's standards.
PS2.This thread is already 8 pages. I wonder how big it will be after I come back  ;D
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz

hiya odnorf!
All I can think is "Stupid Invaders". (DOTT and Sam&Max had creatures inside ice blocks too but it can't be them)

No, sorry. Next try please. :)

Oh, I didn't even think about DOTT and Sam&Max, but you are right, there are a lot of adventures using ice... ! Anyway they aren't the solution here either.

Ok, a little hint - you have to make that fire with help of a fishing rod.

And PS - here you are: I hate the army!
(Disclaimer: At least in the matter of the Greek army with regard of taking odnorf away although he doesn't want to go there. Greek is a great country and the army does its important job well, don't send bombs please, thanks! ;) )

Good luck to you, don't forget to send me a post card. :)
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Mnemonic on November 20, 2003, 09:05:48 PM
Hm, I also thought about Sam&Max, but it was actually the giraffe-neck woman (Trixie...?) who melted him out :)


And, YES, I also hate the army! No disclamers :P

Good luck to you, don't forget to send me a post card. :)

Thanks Jerrot... I'll try to post here as much as I can (which is not going to be very much... almost zero).

Anyway it were the shorts of LeChuck to create the LeChuck voodoo doll. :)

I couldn't think of anything, but ok, here's the question: Which game called itself an "interactive drama", but is basically a bunch of puzzles and lousy movies with (really bad) real actors?
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz

You have found my weakness. I usually stay away from games with real characters.  :P

The game has been one of the first CD-only games, and it's been developed by a studio which bankrupted and doesn't exist anymore.
Title: Re:Adventure game quiz
Post by: Mnemonic on November 23, 2003, 10:46:21 AM
The entire game takes place in an old spooky house, originally owned by a toymaker.

And I still think that the whole "google thing" is a little paranoid.  ;D

Hell, that sounds like the "Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy", do you mean that very VERY old text adventure or is there something new or am I completely wrong ? :)

And the hint this time is "it's from the creators of Countdown" ? ;)

I don't want to give the solution - since I don't want to think about a new question... I like to use the time with learning 3D now. :)

(And BTW - since this thread was not off-topic before - I'm impressed every hour of reading tutorial and manuals, how mighty software became. And it's funny to use physical formulas I'm learning at the university for little animations. I will love the day when combining it with WME scripting... ;D)
