Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Still stuck at #2. I thought combining Simpson and Fox might lead to the Simpsons cartoon, but no success with that too. Do you need any special knowledge about O.J. Simpson (besides football, murder, Nacked Gun) or Fox to get the idea? I am from Germany you know.

Room 34 Posted November 27, 2003 Author Share Posted November 27, 2003 I cannot provide specific details about questions (other than my cryptic clues, which will commence next Tuesday). However, I will say this: There is nothing in this contest that someone outside the United States cannot answer. All of the answers ARE available on the Internet, although some may be harder to search for than others. Some creative thinking is in order. Don't worry, Thomas... you can do it.

Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 I cannot provide specific details about questions (other than my cryptic clues, which will commence next Tuesday). Sure, and I don't want any (now ). However, I will say this: There is nothing in this contest that someone outside the United States cannot answer. All of the answers ARE available on the Internet, although some may be harder to search for than others. Some creative thinking is in order. Good to know, though creativity is my weak point. Don't worry, Thomas... you can do it. Thanks, that has motivated me again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 The answer to #2 came to me randomly as I happened to remember I own the game in question! As for the wordsearch, well I've got 16 Atari games, one other non Atari game name (though whether that was intentional or not I dunno yet), 2 homebrews, 3 instances of a particular object, and about 8 instances of ET! And a partridge in a pear tree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trey Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Thomas, if it makes you feel better, i live here and i'm still stuck on #2. I could not find an atari game called "get away with murder". so, try my method: start with the a's: a-team, asteroids, asterix, etc. jeez, i suck.

And a partridge in a pear tree OK... I do not want to give "hints" but I will say this, since everyone who's gotten to the word search knows you're looking for game titles in it: Only words of 3 or more letters count. Other than that, I will just say this: Read the "Your Challenge" description very carefully on each challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 This from the creator of Thrust+??? Excactly. The game idea is 100% stolen from the original C64 game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 so, try my method: start with the a's: a-team, asteroids, asterix, etc. jeez, i suck. Ok, I'll start from Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Other than that, I will just say this: Read the "Your Challenge" description very carefully on each challenge. I have. I'm being very sneaky with this wordsearch in terms of trying to find game names. Not having any success though currently! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 I have. I'm being very sneaky with this wordsearch in terms of trying to find game names. Not having any success though currently! Probably you should follow the advice to read Ben's last contest. But since I am not that far, I can only guess.

I did partially play and follow that one, and I've been trying all sorts of stuff with the letters and manipulating the square without success yet...

Room 34 Posted November 27, 2003 Author Share Posted November 27, 2003 OK, since it's Thanksgiving (here in the U.S.) and I'm feeling festive... I'll give a bit of a clue early... OFFICIAL CLUE #0.5 When in Grundle's Lair thou be, Ponder thee this clue from me: To give a clue here would be so lame; The clue you seek is in the game.

Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Wow, this clue is as least as confusing as Ben's where. He will be proud of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 The actual clue is in Adventure? Maybe Still I've found game name #17 so only 9 to go. And I think I've got it suckered now, just have to bloody well figure out what names you've used here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Bingo! I finally found #2 and am now at the word puzzle. And I think I found a really nice "tweak" idea that shifted my perspective . Though that didn't help much yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though that didn't help much yet. Did you get trivia question #3 to the left of the gold castle entrance? That one is worded kind of wierd, and I haven't gotten it yet.

But very very stumped on the Word Find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooterb23 Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 I'm very stumped on the word find as well...I've found 16 titles...there's obviously 10 more...but WHERE??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 I also found 16 of them. If you look at the contest in the first link above. It probly has something to do with that. But there are no different colors in this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybastard Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 I got 16 of the words and I'm stuck too. I thought I had an idea at the answer due to the game titles I found but either I'm phrasing it wrong in my answer or it's just plain wrong. This contest is really hard, Room 34, I'm very impressed by your work on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 #2 took some digging. The clue is in the wording. which, strangely enough, was not released by 20th Century Fox Fox released movie licenses of their own games, so this would suggest that it was (seemingly) a Fox movie license that was not released by Fox. Tip: IMDB is your friend, and OJ didn't just play football. I'm still stuck on the word search. I think I found another one, if the words can contain adjacent, but not lateral letters, and reuse the same letters more than once. I've been trying to apply that same logic to the rest of the board but it doesn't seem to be working... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
