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!

T.A.P.: Hint: #11 is kind of like a certain governator.

Can I get a hint for 1, 4, or 17 Down?
I could just straight up tell you 4 down, but I'd get sent to the gulag if I did.

For 1 down take Tyler's advice.

JediEagle: I still need 4, 17, 18. Darn it :D.
Give me a hint for 10 across and I'll give you one for 18.

T.A.P.: Any hints for 10 across, 4 down, and 17 down?

Tyler62092: 10: in the sequel's title.
4: I found this by coincidence, but you'll have luck ctrl-f-ing.
So far no one has given hints for 17, i think.
I tried control F with no luck :(

You'll have the best luck looking for the second letter. Did you get 6?

Madpotator: Only ones left for me are 3 and 17. I think I know what 17 means but I can't figure out how it would fit.

T.A.P.: How about a hint for a hint?

I still need 10 across and 4 down.
Tyler's hint for 10 is good enough, and I found 4 by luck. So, sorry can't help.

I do. I had to read some game spoilers to get it though. Do you know what game it references?

hint for 10. Check the sequels title and think plural

T.A.P.: He was voiced by the guy that did Darkwing Duck, in the sequal to a website-killing game.

Tyler62092: Thanks, just got it.
But I still don't get hamster...
Hamster is a companion to a ranger

It isn't so important, it's in the question, and I don't want to get disqualified if the game's title is really important :P

But, Kabuto.




So if you have 6 (and it's right) then you can use the last letter of that word to ctrl-f the catalogue while looking for the second letter of 4. Make sense?

Ahh yes, i saw that. Very interesting. I dunno if it would help someone to know it though, if they don't know what game to look at.

That hamster threw me way off. But after finding the answer, it was kinda obvious. Strange.

The artist of 4 worked on 3 titles in the GOG catalogue.

Finally figured it out. Thanks guys!

If you have 17, 10 could be considered races or species, rather than a single race as the clue says

EDIT: Bah, too slow

So... I've searched for every word with the third letter being what El Presidente has told me it might be, and come up blank. I've played a lot of it, know it pretty well, though admittedly I don't know every little bit about the plot, but I am still not finding it...

Are we sure #17 isn't a casualty of translation?

The GoG guys are Polish, aren't they?

Is #4 the name of a game? I'm still stumped on that one.
