@tasse-tee is used to play games in reverse order. Even with Ace Attorney games :joy:

At the start of Dual Destinies: So, this character has returned? Ehh, whatever. No big deal.
Partway through Apollo Justice: They were like THIS before? And THEN they came back?! I can’t believe it!!!

Yes yes, you did warn me - but I couldn’t resist playing the shiny newer game first! :sob:

Ok so time for the results of my Guess-that-Brand game.

Thanks to @ZakPhoenixMcKracken for posting screenshots with the correct replies. Unfortunately he didn’t know any and didn’t even guess. Also @milanfahrnholz, @Frenzie and @PiecesOfKate forfeited without guessing.

So the winner is… :drum:

She got 1 point for originality for her reply:
Señor Sphinx
and
Elvis Prezzoo
(Various alcoholic beverages have animals on them, so why not the big-nosed sand animal from the newspaper? And the King would approve of the kazoo

So, at the end, nobody knew the right answer :sweat_smile:
Thus, kudos to Sushi!

Bonus points for actually going “pop”, there!

I tried going BRFPFRP there, but that sounded like a big fart…

Just like, to be fair, it does in the game.

Zak and Al make a great team…

of bandits! :grin:

To do this, I counted the sets of 16 beats in the music after Zak mindlinks with the yak - there’s about 11 sets of 16 beats. The flagpole can be stolen if you pick it up just before Al appears, and also after - videos here and here.

:thinking:
Opening those video links is another puzzle. I could do it with a full verb UI… but Discourse’s single click UI (at least on my phone it doesn’t distinguish between my left or right thumb), it just goes unblur…blur…unblur…blur…

I wanna watch!!! Aaaaaaa!!!

Never mind… there is a way (long press and then open in new tab)

That wasn’t intentional :wink: I’ve unblurred them for you.

Thx! Now the link count works too. It’s going to skyrocket!
Or it should… :raised_hands:

@tasse-tee you are a super bug-buster!!! I’m proud of you.
This is different compared to the original versions (C64, Amiga, Dos), though. If I remember correctly, the moment the Mindbender appears, you can’t control Zak anymore.
Great!

No, you can definitely run away. I did it a few times before I figured out that sometimes it’s better not to. It’s only if you’re still controlling something else that he might get to you and go wakey wakey.

It’s not possible using C64 or Amiga version.
Maybe only in FM town version.

I guess I’ll call a cab…
