Don’t worry about me: I already had submitted, without knowing the game referenced by the image # 3.

The game has ended and I’m counting the correct answers. I’ll announce the correct answers and the winner in about an hour. 🙂

A prayer for the future: please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, don’t publicly comment about the images while the competition is still running.

It’s not about me, it’s about the person who might **not** get the prizes because someone else was helped by the public comments.

# Correct answers and the winner

First of all, thanks to all the **8** people who have officially submitted their answers. 🙂

There are also two additional people who didn’t officially join the competition but wanted to submit some answers anyway, just for the fun of it. That’s the spirit! 🙂

This has been so far the community competition with the highest number of participants.

# Fun facts

There wasn’t a game that was correctly guessed by everybody, not even the super-popular Lucas games.

These were the games that nobody correctly recognized:

- Legend Of Kyrandia III [which surprises me a bit]
- Anna’s Quest
- Return to Mysterious Island
- The Lost Crown [which surprises me a bit]

The [PnC adventure game by Octavi Navarro](https://pixelshuh.itch.io/midnight-scenes-the-highway) was recognized by 50% of the contestants. [which surprises me a bit]

Thanks for participating, folks! 🙂

On a personal note, let me tell you that not joining these competitions sucks a bit, because I have the impression that I might be a decent contender. 😛

The funny part of creating one of these competitions, though, is that **I don’t necessarily know the games** that I add to the list, because of the methodology that I use to find/select the games.

So, I’ll try to participate in some way, listing the games that I _might_ have guessed. 😛

### Games I’m sure I would have recognized:

- Indiana Jones and The Fate Of Atlantis
- Blackwell Unbound
- Ghost Pirates of Vooju Island
- Lost Horizon
- Anna’s Quest
- The Book of Unwritten Tales
- Dark Fall: Lost Souls
- Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space: What’s New, Beelzebub?
- Midnight Scenes: The Highway
- The Darkside Detective

### Games that I know but that _probably_ I wouldn’t have recognized:

- The Curse of Monkey Island
- 5 Days a Stranger
- The Dig
- The Lost Crown

### Games that I know but that _for sure_ I wouldn’t have recognized:

- Sanitarium
- A Vampyre Story
- Return to Mysterious Island
- Legend Of Kyrandia III
- Goodbye Deponia

### Games that I don’t know and I wouldn’t have recognized:

- Haunted
- King’s Quest 4
- Agatha Christie: Evil Under the Sun

I was wondering when you had the time to play all those games, but now I know that you don’t necessarily have played them to create the contest! 😃

It’s fun how memory works.

The only one I knew for sure because I remembered it vividly was the one from MI3.

However the one from Indy Atlantis popped into my head as an animation. I remembered that ghost moving around on a stage and I thought “if I remember this scene, I played it, so it must be a classic Lucas”, and the sprite size and style helped me reduce the number of candidates.

And The Dig… I recognized the background style. The colors, the shading, I was 100% sure it was The Dig even if I can’t remember at all what the hell that was supposed to be or where it happens.

I’ve played the game but I haven’t recognized the ghost either. For me it isn’t surprising because I played the game 1994 (when it was released) and the ghost was a minor important character. You forget these characters much quicker. And I think this is the reason why this community game was more difficult. 🙂

Congratulations to @Sushi!

Yes, it’s interesting that each game has it’s very own style. So you can guess the game just from the visual style. 🙂

I was reminded of The Dig (of which I only watched a Let’s Play up to now), too, due to the color palette, but I didn’t remember that particular animation. 😁

I really don’t know which contests were more difficult but if I focus on the percentage of games that were correctly recognized, then the “[Sidekick game](https://forums.thimbleweedpark.com/t/the-sidekick-game-which-adventure-games-do-you-recognize-game-over/1330)” was apparently tougher for the people who decided to submit answers.

That’s how I approach it. And then I google to check for consistency if it is a game I never played.

Although I did play KQ4 just a couple of years back and got that wrong (although it was one of the creepiest moments ever) - I went with the colonel’s bequest, which is also Sierra in my defence.

I have already some material for a new game and I should be able to publish it the next week, but feel free to create another game whenever you want. The more the games, the more the fun! 🙂

An update about this contest: Sushi already had the first three games of the Blackwell series, so he asked me to give them to the runner up.

The runner up was @ZakPhoenixMcKracken , who was the first person (on Nov 6, 10:31 AM - CET) who sent to me 8 correct answers! 🏆

Congratulations to him as well ! 🙂
