View Full Version : *****Gaming Giveaway*****
Competition winners announced below
After the great piece of generosity from Zico that I benefited from, I thought I'd give away a few bits and pieces that I've acquired.
Thought I'd do it with a twist though and have a little quiz :D
Below are five partial images of five popular and well known games from over the years. All you have to do is guess them correctly!
Prizes
Dark Void figurine (still boxed and probably better than the actual game :p)
Infinite Undiscovery on 360 (promotional copy so no manual)
Mini Ninjas on PS3 (as above, promotional copy)
Order of War on PC with soundtrack and mousemat
Sega Messenger Bag (pretty sure you could fit a laptop in there!)
Ground rules:
Exact answers are needed except in the case of image 3 where series title is appropriate (oooh hint!)
PM your answers to me rather than post in here for obvious reasons. I'll reply asap to confirm I've received your entry.
The competition closes 5pm Friday 12th March, any PMs received after this will NOT be counted.
Competition winners will be announced in this thread at 6pmish Friday 12th March and PMs will be sent out.
The first person to get all 5 correct gets first choice of what prize they want, and so on and so forth until I'm out of prizes.
If no one gets all 5 then most correct answers gets first pick etc.
Any other questions, please do ask in the thread :) Having not done a giveaway of any sort, I've probably missed something :p

Have fun :)
One addition to the rules as someone just asked:
You can change your answer if required. As before, answer changes must be done before 5pm Friday.
Thanks :)
two of them are proving difficult despite the fact i've certainly owned both games :(
i should have better memories of game titles from my childhood!!

Finally my wasted youth is proving useful for something :)
Stroking beard on 2 of them... I feel more stroking is required

Numbers 1 and 2 perchance? I've got the last 3 easily enough, struggling a little on the first 2, though they certainly ring a bell.
Edit: Scratch that, I'm certain I know all of them now, just need to nail the exact game in a couple of places.
Cheers for the prod divine :D Knew I'd forget :o

Winners
I underestimated you lot as there were a lot of correct answers! Knew I should have gone with harder choices and not dropped Turrican and Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday :p
Anyways, in order of who answered all five correctly fastest:
Leowyatt
Nokkonwud
divine
Pumpkinstew
karbon
Congrats all! :) And commiserations to those who were correct but didn't get there in time.
As per the ground rules, the first person who got all 5 correct gets first choice and so on. But if you five winners could list the prizes in order of what you'd most like in this thread, it'll save us all a bit of time :)
PM me your addresses and I'll get prizes sent out next week.
Holy monkey faces, I answered after only a few hours, leo and nokkon must have been supremely on the ball!! :p
Very generous compo though, thanking you kindly, was quite excited waiting for the results! :p
As for prize order...
Order of War then Sega bag then DV figurine, I don't have a 360 or a PS3 so I wouldn't really get much out of the other two! :D

12-03-2010, 21:06

Cheers Jen :D any chance you have a pic of the bag? Currently my list is this;
Mini Ninjas/Sega Messenger Bag
Dark Void figurine
Infinite Undiscovery on 360
Order of War on PC with soundtrack and mousemat
NokkonWud
12-03-2010, 21:16
Woo hoo. Wasn't entirely sure on Sonic 2, but happy with it.
I know which one I want, hopefully Leo doesn't take it first. :)
http://www.halycopter.com/images/competition/sega.jpg
is the bag Leo :) There are straps obviously, they're inside the bag at the moment as it's never been used :)
Could you list up your preferred prize please Nokkon? :)
leowyatt
12-03-2010, 21:27
I know which one I want, hopefully Leo doesn't take it first. :)
I did consider doing for a joke but I'm not that mean ;)
I'll take the bag please Jen :)
Excellent :)
Just need to know what Nokkon wants then I suspect divine will get Order of War ;)
NokkonWud
12-03-2010, 21:39
Dark Void figurine please :D.
;D
I guessed correctly :D
Right so:
Leo: Sega Bag
Nokkon: Dark Void figurine
divine: Order of War things
Prizes left are Mini Ninjas for the PS3 and Infinite Discovery for the 360.
Pumpkinstew's choice next then karbon gets whatever's left :)
wow that Sega bag is cool, ultimately cool!
Pumpkinstew

I won something? Cool! :)
I don't have a PS3 so it's the 360 game for me please.
Cheers, Haly.
Excellent :)
Karbon: the PS3 game is yours so I hope you have a PS3 or have access to one :D
WINARRRRRRRRRR or well, a bit slow but hey.
i don't have one atm but i do have enough access that i'll make use of it.
cheers :D
Ooh that worked out ok then :D
Congrats all :) I'll get your prizes sent out early in the week.
Nice one Haly.
Some of the games had me puzzled so I would have failed with only 3 out of 5.

Well done guys. I got 4 right out of 5, didn't get the Zelda one right, though I guess never owning a SNES probably didn't help there. Wish you'd done Turrican though Jen, I would have got that in about 2 seconds, I loved those games (assuming you mean the same Turrican I played on the C64) :)
though I guess never owning a SNES probably didn't help there
I never owned any console before my N64 :p

Thanks Jen, appreciated :)
:)
Was fun to organise :D
Very generous of you, so thanks for doing this! And congratulations to the winners too. :)
I didn't have the slightest clue about any of them (even though I've heard of - but never played - all of them).

Prizes are going out shortly :)
Apologies for the delay, week got away from me a bit!
