I only got two, which is truly abysmal. I'm still sending them anyway.

Yes DO send them. At the moment you'll be in with a chance of a prize ........... even with only TWO!

Count me in

I'm repeating this in case anyone missed it (It's also on the rules page):

PLEASE NOTE (HandsFree kindly pointed out this), that for SCREENSHOT NUMBER 4, I've absent-mindedly left punctuation after the 1st word in the title of the game. You MUST include this punctuation for Excel to accept your answer as correct!

The punctuation is :

So, put : after the first word.

Thanks.

Okayee! As of UK time, we're at the half-way point. I'll let you all in on Part B later today but, for now, here's the scores update. As you can see, less than ELEVEN entries so far, so, as it stands, all you'd have to do is get ONE correct and you'll be in with a shout of the prize!

The score so far (you still have until midnight June 5th UK time to submit your answers to both Part A and Part B):

HandsFree ........................................... 17pts
Lady Kestrel (without Excel) ............. 15pts
Zobraks ............................................... 12pts
hatshepsut .......................................... 9pts
Taio ...................................................... 9pts
Andromus ........................................... 8pts
Camaro ................................................ 2pts

As it stands, HandsFree and LadyK would be guaranteed prizes if they stay 1st and 2nd. The others would go into a draw for the other three prizes.

Okayee Quizzical folks! Part B is now LIVE and active .................

Here's the edited text from Page 1 of this thread:

Quiz 'a' is called 'A Steps and Stairways Challenge' and Quiz 'b' is entitled 'A Feast of Mince Pies', where all the 'eyes' on show are taken from Adventure game box covers. By the way, 'Mince Pies', if you didn't know, is cockney rhyming slang.

Once again, click on the Orb on page one of this thread and you'll see where you can access Part B.

Good luck! Personally, I think Part B is easier than Part A.

Remember, you can still submit answers to Part A AND Part B up to midnight June 5th GMT time.

Regards ................. and Good Luck!

Gelert.

P.S.; By the way, I've had a couple of pints of Real Ale tonight so please be gentle with me if I've made any mistakes.

Well, knock me down the bloomin' apples and pears, this should be frustrating fun at its finest!

Gelert are you kidding ? I had to buy a wig this morning

I am in awe of SuperEdy! Super does not begin to describe you when it comes to knowing your games!!!!

Sorry Camaro.

There's still plenty of time left.

Just a quick EDIT ---> LadyKestrel, who has a bag full of points in the bank, tells me that she can only play Mac compatible games (I should have known that already really. Doh!), which means that, as the five prizes up for grabs do NOT involve a Mac compatible game, Camaro is still in the hunt.

Thanks LadyK, for letting me know.

You're welcome, Gelert. You know I just like the challenge, which you certainly have provided.

BTW

My computer OS can only play free games that are given away at AP so can I have some consideration for the copy that LK doesn't need? She is my Champion you know.
