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!

Done, but i really doubt that 17 and 19 are the right combination.

Well.. they are both strangely separated from the rest of crossword so maybe there is some mistake in design?

Can we get someone on GoG to comment on the 17/19 thing?

I can't believe so many people can't come up with an answer
Posted October 06, 2010
Yes, I think popular demand would like GOG to comment on this.
Posted October 06, 2010
They confirmed 17 down was okay, which leads me to believe that 19 across is also correct.
Posted October 06, 2010
oh well. I already sent mine in. An extra hint would be nice though.
Posted October 06, 2010
ooh, shiny *_*
I love crosswords.

I've figure most of them out, except for 17, and of course I have 19 as the 'obvious' choice. Using the clues here for 15, I found what fit, it just doesn't really make a whole lot of sense to me (and I've played the game, twice).
Posted October 06, 2010
If you've played the game, you know enough raw data, assuming you ran into a someone, and possibly the someone that person was looking for. If you did you saw the person-you-ran-into's companion. And YOUR first companion doesn't want to know where the someone-you-ran-into is suggesting everyone look.

I know it's vague, probably too much. Not sure how to do these things I guess.

They are probably the bonus questions intended to make our heads explode.

It doesn't help that I've never played either game and know very little about them. I can force something to work if i spell a word incorrectly, and still use the obvious answer for 19, but from what I've read about the game for 17, it isn't necessarily true.

Ok, I played it in Polish, so it was a tough one for me. That means my guess was incorrect.

So we need a T-variant for 17 o_o'...

SLP2000: The game with ranger and hamster?
Indeed. Assuming the game I am thinking of also has relams, swords and gates, many of which have been forgotten.

Any more t-variants and I'll go mad. My issue is with 19, since it can actually have to do with two separate games in the catalog, possibly more. The obvious 19 means Cthulhu will crawl out of the floor, so I prefer a 19 that totally fits, totally is apropos, but my ability to read the writer's mind is inadequate at present. Charging up my brain beam...

4, 15 and 17 have me stumped for now, but I have all the others
