Birthday fun and gifts (for you!)
GOG.com 5th birthday celebration continues, and we came up with some fun activities essential to every nerd party in the universe. Namely, we want to play some trivia with you! There will be prizes, of course, because there have to be gifts in a birthday celebration. Since it is our party, you get to keep the gifts! We wouldn't have it any other way. But, just to make it more fun, you'll have to put some effort into getting them. For the next couple of days (let's say: until Sunday), we'll post a daily activity for you. A quiz, a puzzle, some trivia--you know: fun stuff. Each day you'll get a chance to prove your gaming knowledge and familiarity with GOG.com for a chance to get some free games. Our activity of choice today: word search!

UPDATE:
We got word from our support, that some users aren't sure where they should send the answers. Let's pretend that finding the e-mail address on the picture below is a little warm-up exercise before the actual word search. If you can't handle that task, there's probably not much point in wasting your time looking for the 40 titles. And one more thing: we didn't notice it ourselves, but there's actually 41 hidden titles in the picture (apart from the highlighted "FEZ"). That's because one of the longer ones contains another one, shorter. Still--we don't expect more than 40, and that gives you a bit of an advantage.

Ah, so FTL did count! Good game. Thanks again GOG, and congratulations to the winners!
I missed Myst, FTL, Zeus. Seeing Caesar and Pharaoh, I should have caught Zeus. I was looking for Cleopatra instead.
I was too slow :(

Is there a way to confirm that a submission has been received?

When did you receive the 40th insta-win e-mail? :)

Also, I haven't received a confirmation e-mail when I sent mine at 00:21 am GMT, so I didn't have any way of knowing if you got it or not. Would it be possible to send an automatic reply to these contest entries?

Duh. Missed Blood, Thief... and Zeus. I looked all over for the latter because Caesar and Pharaoh were already on there, but couldn't see it for the life of me. Oh well.
Damn, I thought for sure I was one of the 40. I got them all correct but apparently wasn't fast enough.
The first 39 were quick, but FTL took me forever.
Sweet, I made the top 40. Got my mail 10mins ago. :-)

I'm now downloading "Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon", can't wait to play it!

Thanks for the game GOG! <3

THANK YOU Gog.com,
It was fun, and I'm glad to be part of the 40 winners :)
Noooooo! I can deal with overlooking Pharaoah (never heard about that game), but how could I miss Quest for Glory, and in the first row on top of it? *hangs his head in shame* :(

Congrats to the winners!

Whoops, mis-read the time for the deadline, oh well, was fun to do anyways!

Dammit... I've sent with the wrong subject...
I feel so stupid... :/
Fingers crossed for the draw.
