As promised, it's time for another contest. This time it might be hard as we're testing your good old gaming knowledge. We've prepared a crossword puzzle (also attached to this post) where the answers we're looking for concern games you can find in GOG's catalogue. If you think you got all the answers (or as many as you can get) send the list of words from the crossword to users@gog.com until Tuesday, October 12 11:59 p.m. EDT.

From all correct entries we will pick 3 winners:
the winner will receive Strategy First catalogue
1st runner up will receive the games from TopWare catalogue
2nd runner up, thanks to our friends at PC Gamer, will receive a PC Gamer UK subscription.

Ready, set, go!

EDIT: The crossword appeared so difficult that even our testers have made a mistake ;). The answer for 17 down was supposed to be "Keepers", but we made it "Watchers" ;p. We won't take into account the answer for 17 down.
Sorry about that and good luck with the rest!

How many correct answers would we need to qualify? Can entrants with incomplete puzzles still have a chance to win? Is it weighted, maybe? Some of these will take some serious digging...

EDIT:

Wait, does 17 down have one too many letters?

Of course we're looking for complete answers, but if you won't manage to get them all, send us as many as you did get. IF we won't get complete answers we'll pick winners from other entries.

17 down is ok :)

Thanks for that. I was afraid I'd be automatically de-considered for not knowing some.

Is a blank space allowed here?

Can I send another answer if I happen to realize one more word later or is there a limit?
Posted October 06, 2010
Actually never mind, knowing 19 helps.

I'd appreciate if you'd send it when you're sure that's all you can think of. It will make our work of picking winners a bit easier :)

A really cool idea for a contest. After a brief search, I managed to find all except 1, 15, and 17. Will try to find those later.

That said, I don't think the description for number 3 is entirely right. Or am I wrong?

I can't find anything for 17 :(
Posted October 06, 2010
Got all but 1, 3, 4, 8, 15 and 17... Those are the hardest, I'm not sure if you're able to figure them out if you haven't played the game in question.

I'm still working on it, but I don't think I'll be able to complete the whole thing...

Okay thanks, I'll try to find them all. I've got only a few left.
