QUIZ

To keep it shorter than always:

  • Prize: Nexuiz (2 copies)
  • Ends: Oct 20, 2012 05:00 PM CEST (but after winning give me about 24 hours to send - I can't predict if I will be on PC on this exact time)
  • Answers are game titles. Games are generally from 90s, and every was released on PC (DOS/Windows).
  • Rules as always - don't share answers, hints, giveaway link.
  • Hints are built-in and shows after one hour. After some time, I will decide about giving more hints, and maybe I will post some as answers in the topic.
  • Gifts will be send by e-mail.

Good luck!


EDIT: It's 12:00 AM here, and no solvers, so I think it's nice time for some hints:

  • 8 is somehow related to Bulletstorm.
  • 20 is last good installment of very famous adventure games series (with "missing" one part).
  • 1 isn't a game about killing, but hey, dying is an integral part of it :) .
  • these Youtube uploads aren't by me, so why don't you look more closely at them?
  • one hint contains game title, and few makes finding game title too easy with Google.

EDIT2: I promised hints if there will be no solvers, but it appears, that there is one solver :) . However, I will give some more hints, but not for all questions:

  • 14 was made by a company, which has been sued by Sega in 90s.
  • 2 wasn't made by Sid Meier, despite the fact that...
  • 4 was meant to have 3d sequel, but development has been halted

EDIT3: Well, since for two days there is only one solver, I decided to give hints for every questions. Hints above has been included here, and all new hints will also go there:

  • Q1 - isn't a game about killing, but hey, dying is an integral part of it :) ; also I bet, that many girls played this one like 10 years ago.
  • Q2 - wasn't made by Sid Meier, despite the fact that everyone thinks in another way.
  • Q3 - it was called RTS version of the game from Q2.
  • Q4 - was meant to have 3d sequel, but development has been halted.
  • Q5 - it was released officialy on many platforms (DOS, Windows, NextStep, Nintendo 64, iPod...) and there is even more fan source ports (you can even play it on TI-Nspire calculators...)
  • Q6 - published by Duke Nukem's developers.
  • Q7 - despite the 3D in title, it wasn't a truly 3D game.
  • Q8 - somehow related to Bulletstorm.
  • Q9 - arcade racing game.
  • Q10 - series from which this game is, is one of Uwe Boll's victims.
  • Q11 - Witches II.
  • Q12 - whatever you can say about EA, they released this game later as a freeware.
  • Q13 - it featured for example: half-pipe snowboarding, downhill and snowball fights.
  • Q14 - was made by a company, which has been sued by Sega in 90s.
  • Q15 - freeware now, but you can buy it on Steam (as a part of a pack).
  • Q16 - to advance to the next level, you had to find a lighter.
  • Q17 - there were 3 packs of this game with 4 tables each.
  • Q18 - 2000, 2001, 2002, ..., 08, 09, 10, ...
  • Q19 - one of the first commercial games available for Linux
  • Q20 - last good installment of very famous adventure games series (with "missing" one part). Fortunately, series will be revived with the original designer.

Always with puzzle giveaway I was doing very long introduction post. This time I thought, that I made 4x more questions than always, so I won't bother people with too much text to read :)

edit: but on the other hand - every time I gave few quizzes in one post, but now there is only one, so number of questions is similar (:

Pretty fun puzzle, one of the best i've seen here since my registration. I'm able to recognize few melodies, but titles? Nope. Not even one of them (okay, joking, got two of them down ;D )

Maybe hints will help refresh memory :p . Some of them are a very small step from finding game title.

It's possible, since different versions of the same song were used also in sequels of this game (and first sequel, especially expansion pack for it, was even more popular than the original game).

So, I tried putting another game from the franchise and it turned out to be it. I wasn't wrong after all.

Hmmmm. I know I've heard a few of them, but I can't quite recall where I've heard them. Once this puzzle is over, it'd be cool if someone could tell me the source of the first one.

Since after 5 hours, there were no solvers, I've posted some hints in first post. Enjoy :)

It's 19 hours, and still no solvers. After 24 hours with no solvers I gonna make hints for every question. If someone has troubles with a certain question - write about it. It will make easier for me to decide, for which questions I need to make "stronger" hints.

never played or heard #4, but recognized the composer and got it from that! :)
Otherwise, pre-hints, all I've got is 1, 6, and 18. :P I'm surprised I remembered 6, but I did play it quite a bit.
