yes, but if you're rich you can buy plenty of them!

And...damn! I wanted to say Neverending Story, because it simply looks like it's out of there, but I didn't know there is a game about that! Ha. Oh well.
Next one has a few easy and a few I'm sure I've never seen before.

It was a dead giveaway, even if you never played the game...
I can't believe I didn't guess Death Gate and I confused Tunguska, which I'm about to finish. Somebody please shoot me.

Jep, looking at the answers now, it seems like it wasn't that hard a week. Surprisingly, the only game I did guess was one I haven't played yet, while I missed about three or four that I have at least played bits of. Like Elfstone, can't believe I missed Voyage! I just knew it looked familiar (same for the scissors of Dark Fall actually). Still, I didn't have any time to look at any screenshots, so I'm happy with my one correct guess. In about two or three weeks, I should have more free time, so that's when I'll really start to make some points! (yeah right! )

I'm also mad for not going for 'wild guesses' this week, because a couple of my hunches were correct, like Darkfall and Death Gate. I'm also mad for not thinking of Neverending story. I remembered a fantasy movie with creatures, but somehow it never clicked...

Yeah, that's why I don't know how I could not at least try, even though I didn't know there was a game. Ouch. Costly mistake.

I think a lot of people will get this game for Christmas, or have kept it to play during the holiday period. Rather devilish to put it in the tournament this early. [smiley=devil_smiley_grintail.gif]

And knowing Aya, a lot more of those will follow in the coming weeks. (I'm pulling out my hair again over pic 1 and 8 this week. )

I still have Monday in my head for new trivia...
Not that I would have guessed anything except maybe GK1, but it wouldn't have been my second guess, anyway.
I guess I tackle the next one, then.

Status : Offline | there were 2 milestones met during week 4: the first 4-pointer (superedy) and the first guess purchase (elfstone - thank you, come again! )
elfstone's move was pretty clever, and may shake off the numbness of point sacrificing that ppl may have... he gave away 0.5 pts for a 1.5 pts pic, so he gained 1 pt that way! not to mention took away lady kestrel's 3pointer! (the guess was for 80 days)
that superedy guy btw looks like he means serious business! he seems to have the #10's for breakfast! he has gotten 3 out of 4, the last one for 4 pts!!! (let alone he took away shany's 4pointer last week on the very last minute!)
things look pretty interesting at the top right now! 8-)

That was evil! I was checking all week to see if anyone answered that one, and right when I feel safe I lose those points.
For last week, I could've probably guessed Larry 1 remake if I had more time (I thought about guessing Larry 5, but didn't.)

Interesting isn't the word I would choose to use.
Shany, I never count my guesses until they're confirmed. There's usually someone sneaking in at the last minute. Good sneaky move, Elfstone!
I wouldn't have guessed #10 in a million years. I know there's a Gremlins arcade game but the adventure is new to me. I did suspect that #8 was a painting/picture within another game, but I hadn't thought of Overseer. It was a good, albeit frustrating, week from our Master Sneak.

Status : Online | Overseer was dumb luck on my part...you know I played it this week and I saw it while I was playing and thought, "Hey! That's one of Aya's pics! And isn't he a tricky one...it changes constantly!", because that's what it did. 5 pictures or something, changing like a slide show. Aya always finds new ways to fool us...
But it shows that I'm not following the latest trend in gaming or else I might have guessed Al Emmo and Ankh.

Jep, same here, that's my [smiley=doh.gif] of the week as well. I doubted between Larry 1 remake and Duckman for that pic. Of course I guessed the latter, thinking I would have some time this week to check and send the other guess as well. Unfortunately I arrived too late. Oh well, I made only four guesses this week, two of which were correct, not too shabby compared to my old 3 or 4 correct guesses each week out of thirty with the former tourney system. 8-)
