    Default Rainecloud's "Name the Game" Competition [2004] (With Prize!)

    As all competition threads seem to start these days: "It's that time again". Yes, the last "Name the Game" competition was so damn popular, I decided to bring it back - with an even better prize. Fancy winning a Final Fantasy VIII Necklace, Griever Pendant, Gunblade Pin Badge and Griever Ring? Well, just enter the quiz.

    Rules, Legal Mumbo-Jumbo & Whatnot:

    1) First of all, please don't enter the competition unless you intend to provide me with your address if you happen to win. I'm a trustworthy EoFF'er, as many of the members here will be able to tell you (ask "Endless", who received a limited edition Final Fantasy boxed soundtrack for winning the last competition).

    2) I understand that neither the owner of Eyes on Final Fantasy, Cid (Sean Robinson), the Cid's Knights, Site Staff or Administrators have anything to do with this competition, and that this prize is simply a gift from me to you as a show of appreciation. This quiz is 100% independent, and is not sponsored or endorsed by EoFF in any way. No money will be made from this competition.

    And now that crap's out of the way...

    The Rules & Instructions:

    I) Simply "Name the Game" from each 100x100 pixel box. I've not numbered the pictures, as I want the full screen to be available for you to take a look at. The games are from all different genres, and they may be from any format, past or present.

    II) Please send all your answers to me in a Private Message. Please don't post any answers or clues in this thread, as it will ruin the competition. Feel free to discuss the competition in this thread, but don't reveal any answers.

    III) The screenshots are numbered from left to right. I've not actually put the numbers on the screenshots, as it may ruin your view of the overall picture, and may impair your judgment. You will receive a point for guessing the game correctly, and a further bonus point if you can tell me which console/computer/other format the screenshot is taken from. Copy and paste this into a PM and fill out the answers:

    First Row:
    1) [Game goes here] [System goes here]
    2) [Game goes here] [System goes here]
    3) [Game goes here] [System goes here]
    4) [Game goes here] [System goes here]
    5) [Game goes here] [System goes here]
    Second Row:
    6) [Game goes here] [System goes here]
    7) [Game goes here] [System goes here]
    8) [Game goes here] [System goes here]
    9) [Game goes here] [System goes here]
    10) [Game goes here] [System goes here]
    Third Row:
    11) [Game goes here] [System goes here]
    12) [Game goes here] [System goes here]
    13) [Game goes here] [System goes here]
    14) [Game goes here] [System goes here]
    15) [Game goes here] [System goes here]
    Fourth Row:
    16) [Game goes here] [System goes here]
    17) [Game goes here] [System goes here]
    18) [Game goes here] [System goes here]
    19) [Game goes here] [System goes here]
    20) [Game goes here] [System goes here]
    Fifth Row:
    21) [Game goes here] [System goes here]
    22) [Game goes here] [System goes here]
    23) [Game goes here] [System goes here]
    24) [Game goes here] [System goes here]
    25) [Game goes here] [System goes here]
    Sixth Row:
    26) [Game goes here] [System goes here]
    27) [Game goes here] [System goes here]
    28) [Game goes here] [System goes here]
    29) [Game goes here] [System goes here]
    30) [Game goes here] [System goes here]

    IV) Don't worry if you can't "get" many - past winners of this competition have been very low scorers. The quiz is hard. However badly you think you've done, I urge you to send your answers in. Who knows, you might just win.

    V) The quiz will last about a week. I'll have a closing date nearer the time, as I'll have to see how the competition "goes on" to begin with before I decide on a definite date. After the quiz is over, the winner will be revealed and the results will be posted in a separate thread.

    THE PRIZE:



    It's an incredibly cool Final Fantasy VIII collector's set. It contains:
    1) A mini gunblade replica.
    2) A Griever ring.
    3) A silver chain/necklace.
    4) A Griever pendant (at the end of the chain, obviously).
    The prize is completely free, and I shall be paying all postage costs, no matter where you live.

    And the quiz itself:



    Thanks in advance, and good luck! Any questions? Send me a PM.

    I'm game. However, if I were to win (who knows?), I don't want the prize, let it be rewarded to the second (I already had my reward).

    Oh, and he's not lying when he's saying he'll send it to you. I still have the limited FFXI music set next to my desk.

    And then there is Death

    That's fine.

    If the winner decides that he/she doesn't want the prize, It'll go to the next highest scorer.

    What about good guesses, or guesses at all? For example, what if I say 'this is game X', and it's actually the very similiar looking sequel?

    I like how some of these game shots have multiple variants to the series and a very very minor detail in the shot gives away which.

    Ahem. Apologies for not making things a little easier. The last quiz was far too easy, and I didn't want to make the same mistake again. Having said that, from the entries I've received so far, you've got the majority of answers correct between you!

    And as for sequels? You don't have to guess the correct one, unless of course the games are vastly difference in appearance. I'm pretty lenient when it comes to your guessing, so if you're close, you'll get the point(s).

    Tips and Advice:

    - As I said before, you don't have to know all the games to be able to win this prize. Nobody has ever got a perfect score in this quiz. Even if you only know a few, give me a PM. You'll look good on the leader board.

    - Take your time, and don't rush into sending me that PM. Stare at the screenshots, and take note of everything that appears in them. Who knows, something might just *click* in your brain.

    - And yes, don't worry, you can change or add to your previous PM. Send me another PM with your changes and I'll be sure to alter your guesses. Don't make a habit of doing this though, please.

    Clues:

    Here's some clues to help you along the way (as I've realised the quiz is pretty damn hard).

    - There's seven 2D platform games, one arcade-only fighting game, one point-and-click adventure game, seven 3D action games (some of which could be classed as RPGs, two first person shooting games, two beat-em-ups, one NES zapper game and a few more that I'm not going to give away just yet.
