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!

graveir: Hey guys, any help with 18?
Are you a psycho? Not's that it's wrong, but you expect the impossible. This is a contest, so no hints ;)

Don't be a fool. I'm not asking for answer, just for the clue for it... :-)

Psycho? I say he's nuts!

"Nauts" is very hard to purposely implement as a hint :(

Not's will have to do.

So better question, its the name of character or a game?

Guys, I gotta say this is a really friendly, helpful community, thanks!

Psycho? Nuts, he said!

*he = bazilisek
@ bazilisek: hope you don't mind my semi-steal/rephrasing of your idea.

karacho: maybe the cult of storms themselves created that part of the puzzle because they knew it would cause confusion and negative vibrations

and if you aks why they would do something like that
because they (secretly) fight agains the optimism (which is then of course the right answer)
Win! This is brilliant :-D

They are trying to help you by the way, not insult you.

Remember that the m-variant doesn't doesn't really fit into the sentence very well, especially with the "the" in front of it.

I see, but after I've figured out it yet ;) Until that I thought, that they are just some dumb teenagers, no offence. :)

Myxia: Remember that the m-variant doesn't doesn't really fit into the sentence very well, especially with the "the" in front of it.
And messes with the obvious 19. We need a t-variant 17, but they mostly don't make sense...

I say - send them everything and with 17 give them the list of insanities we came up with, including the anteater and optimism. It's likely that no one figured out the correct answer anyway, so our chances should be even... and it'll make their browsing through the entries quite entertaining/confusing ;P.

So the T variant, with a psycho savant on the seventeen is still the best choice? Geez... And i thought, that when i wake up, we'd have it all sorted.. ;P

Check out the previous pages, it's been rolled over a zillion times.;)

Kinda surprising, because the game it's from is so well known, and the character too.. So many praise it, and then, bam.. Huh.
