Name that Adventure

[Collector]

This was on Adventure Gamers. As most here are not members there, I thought that I would post it here, too. This is an Excel spreadsheet with images from various adventure games. The idea is to name as many of he games as possible. The sheet will let you know if you are right or wrong.

Two problems:

1. There's absolutely no consistency with the names (i.e. some of them accept the basic name with a number while others want the full title). That's inexcusable. It makes the entire process a game of "guess what works" instead of truly relying on what you know.

2. Some of the games don't accept the correct name at all. Number 84 is a prime example of this. I've tried the correct name several times now, including a few different versions of it.

I've also found that Number 64 has the same problem. Whoever made this was a moron.

I finally figured out 84. It is wrongly titled with the plural. 64 is right. It does have problems, though, mostly in terms of consistency. Some ignore articles and other do not. As you mentioned, some want the short title and others insist on the full title.

Including #84 (how does anyone mess that up?), I would've had 42 out of 84.

At least I got all the Sierra and Lucasarts ones. I wouldn't mind knowing what some of those other games are, though.

Did anyone else catch how easy it was to figure out "Police Quest 2?"

I got 56. Like you, I got all of the Sierra and LucasArts games. It seemed that it was the LucasArts games were more likely to require the full name.
