Thomas Jentzsch Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Yup, that's the exact info I found too. And I'm stuck as you are. So many possible questions and so many possible answers... Only Ben (and Scott) know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitfall Harry Posted June 11, 2002 Author Share Posted June 11, 2002 Harry and Anna rush into the Red Chalet. But neither Pitfall Harry nor Rhonda is to be found. They leave the building, bewildered. Soon, they are standing at the end of a road before a small brick building. Around them is a forest. A small stream flows out of the building and down a gully. They go south. Anna and Harry are now in a valley in the forest beside a stream tumbling along a rocky bed. They look down. Through the rippling waves of the stream they see an old videogame console. Beside it are some game cartridges. They look at the games. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffy Arensmeyer Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Well, here's what I've discovered... And Ben, I've sent you two e-mails, both identical in content, but the first had the wrond subject line. Please discard the first e-mail and use the second one. Thanx again for a great contest. It's fun hanging out in here and solving your mysteries. ò¿ó Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 I figured out the the last games (and the hint) during the halftime break of Germany vs. Camerun, but I had to watch the game to the end. At least Germany won. Thanx again for a great contest. It's fun hanging out in here and solving your mysteries. 100 % agreed! BTW: Why was the last hint not on the contest page? I had to wait until AtariAge was up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffy Arensmeyer Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 So did you e-mail your answers to Ben/Harry? How many people have sent in correct answers? Just curious. There doesn't seem to be any one around today. Thanx again for all your help Thomas. I hope you got something out of the stuff I contributed too. ò¿ó Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 So did you e-mail your answers to Ben/Harry? Sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 How many people have sent in correct answers? I sent in correct answers for the box and number questions, and an incorrect answer for the Braille question. Ben is obviously getting anxious to have this contest end... the clues are getting fairly direct. Let's hope someone wraps it up soon! I want my chance at the third-place prize! :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffy Arensmeyer Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 I believe that you probably edged me out by about 15 minutes. :cry: Some of those images were tough to figure out. The change-over to the new forums kinda screwed things up too. The two posts that I made last night are actually showing up on page 19 now even though I made them at 9:55 pm and 10:20 pm. So is there only three of us with correct answers, or do you think a few more will join in too? :confused: I'm sure that Q*bert and Stan will hit the mark too. ò¿ó Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffy Arensmeyer Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 What are you talking about? If it had not been for you and everyone else posting here, I would still be buggin my eyes out :shock: on that dang elderchat.png thing! I sincerely hope you pinned my butt to the wall on this one. It's better to finish second to a nice guy than to beat someone who's a penis. :shock: Thanx, ò¿ó (hee, hee.

smf_4ever Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Grrrrr.. Back from a long weekend of moving and I have been laped many times.... But maybe A bolt of inspiration will hit...

Jeffy Arensmeyer Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Grrrrr.. Back from a long weekend of moving and I have been laped many times.... But maybe A bolt of inspiration will hit...I am pretty sure that I do not have any answers yet..... but we will see...GRRRRRRRRRR If you read the last few pages, we've all eluded to a lot about finding the questions, decoding the questions and figuring out the answers. It's no fun to do this stuff if you can't share it. Most of it really isn't that difficult, it just takes a lot of time to translate it. And I agree that Ben's clues became more "solvable" as the contest began to wind down. We should all count ourselves lucky that he decided to give us what he did. Since the "official deadline" is the end of this year, he could have left us hangin' for a looooong time, but he didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 So please tell us... has anyone submitted all 3 correct answers yet? BTW Jeffy, nice job translating the blurred cart images. I knew that was where it was going (first letter of each title) but I wasn't familiar enough with all of them to get it! :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffy Arensmeyer Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 It was tough for me too. Of course, you could see some of the easy ones right out of the gate. However, I had to dig for the rest. One was an accident and another was luck. I kept looking in the T's for something like Trog or so, when I stumbled across the last one. :shock: And "Duh", I never even looked at the first letter of each title until I had all of the games. ò¿ó Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew that was where it was going (first letter of each title) but I wasn't familiar enough with all of them to get it! :oops: I had the same problems. All I could do was browse AtariAge (I have to thank my company for the fast connection). I recognized the style of two Atari carts so I quite soon had two letters. Then I tried to find some more vocals, coincidentally found another TigerVision game that way, stumbled over an Avalon Hill game and found another. Then came two more. Now I knew the question already and the rest came easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffy Arensmeyer Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 After I knew the gimmes, I went to the manufacturer's list and started checking companies with three or more titles. And much like Thomas said, several were blind luck. I was surprised that Ben used more than one game from certian companies, however. :shock: He must be really ready for all of this to end. Of course, we all sound like we know it's over. If this were a basball game, Ben may throw us a curve ball and eliminate us all. :shock: ò¿ó Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Now I knew the question already and the rest came easy. Well this was the question I botched because I submitted my answer about 3 weeks ago before Ben started dropping hints! :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffy Arensmeyer Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 It wasn't until this morning that I was confident enough to submit anything. So, what answer did you give, if you don't mind me asking. ò¿ó Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 So, what answer did you give, if you don't mind me asking. I don't mind you asking. But after I submitted my wrong answer, Ben told me the correct answer, on the condition that I would not reveal it or give any clues. I think he was as excited about all of this as I was! Unfortunately, as much as I'd like to share, I think I should keep my wrong answer to myself, since that in itself could be a tip-off to the right answer. I'll leave it at this: On the one I got wrong, I had searched and searched and finally settled on a rather uncertain, but "best I could find" answer. It was wrong. On the two I got right, I had clear and concrete evidence that they were right. When Ben revealed to me the answer I had gotten incorrect, and where I could've found it, it was equally decisive as the other two. So in short, if you are at all uneasy or unsure about an answer, you are probably wrong. If you are right, you will know you are right.

Malix Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 I hope he posts the winners and the correct answers soon. I may have not been a contestant but I sure as hell am interested. It has been like watching a movie. Will one of you email me your answers. I am not in the contest and will not submit them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been like watching a movie. He won't do that public, because the contest goes until the end of the year. Only the first prize winner is safe, everybody else who answeres all questions correctly has the same chance. So you have to find out yourself or wait. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 He won't do that public, because the contest goes until the end of the year. Actually, the contest only lasts for 30 days past the first-place winner's submission, if I remember the rules correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Malix will have to wait only 30 days! :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
