luka666: After spending the last hour staring stupidly at the last hint, i figured out that i havent got a clue :). Anyone else has that feeling?
hmm .. I don't know what the answer is either ...
Posted September 30, 2010
I know what these games have in common. NOTHING! I give up. I've tried every possible combination I could think of and there's always at least one exception to any rule I can think of. Best of luck to the rest of you. though.

Is there a new hint coming today or not?
Just say when the deadline ends and I'll post my (not yet conclusive) answer.

If you count all the n's from the games with an orange cover, you have 30 n's. You also have 30 games.

wxcvbn123321: All the games have an "n" in their name.
I thought that too, but Castles + Castles 2, Fallout Tactics, Lords of the Realm 3, Megarace 3, Mob Rule, Tex Murphy Overseer and Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus don't have an N in their titles and I don't see a link between those games either. :(

I edited mine.

I'm not completely sure though, but it can't hurt to take a guess.

Answer: The same letter in pairs!

1nsane - 5th letter "n"
Advent Rising - 5th letter "n"

Age of Wonders - 12th letter "e"
Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare - 12th letter "e"

Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obs... - 25th letter "n"
Baldur's Gate: The Original Saga - 25th letter "n"

Beyond Divinity - 14th letter "t"
Castles + Castles 2 - 14th letter "t"

Die by the Sword + Expansion - 1st letter "D"
Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition - 1st letter "D"

etc.

Just realized that as well with the same letters, although I wrote them out assuming they would spell something. No luck getting beyond that point though lol, so maybe it ends there.

The things these games have in common is "Dent"? They all made a dent in in the gaming industry?

Doesn't work for Tex Murphy: Overseer and Unreal Tournament 2004 ECE (though every other pair of titles does have a matching letter in the same position). Back to the drawing board!

EDIT: Ignore that, I miscounted - the E is in the same position! Maybe it's an anagram?

Beyond Divinity and Castles + Castles 2 don't match.
But that was a good guess! Almost made me loose my hope... (which I kinda lost anyway)

Oh, you're counting spaces. And yes, you're right! I think you may have found the answer.
