Yet Another Snider-Man Newbie Mystery Giveaway Contest!!!

[Snider-man]

It's that time again, all you new Atari collectors! I am giving away *yet another* Atari 2600 game cart to one lucky newbie.

 

We'll play the game like we did last time. I have a cart here of moderate rareness that will go to the first newbie (under 300 posts) that can identify what the game is. There is no trick or gimmick to this contest. Just post in this thread what you think the title of the game is. If you're the first to identify it, you win it! (Postage is included in the giveaway, even if you're outside of the US! Everyone gets a shot at this!)

 

I'll post hints after we've gone a while without a winner. In fact, this message may or may not have a hint within it. And, NO, the "winky" means nothing this time around.

 

Only one guess per person and the guesses will be "reset" when I post a new hint - just like last time. Good luck newbies!

When is the contest for the veterans coming?

I'm Guessing "Kool Aid Man"

[King Asmo]

Although I'm not eligible, I'm guessing this game is a sequel to another game.

[Snider-man]

Actually, there's a GREAT contest for veterans that I run over on Digatal Press. Their Mystery Game is my baby too. Try it out. Go to www.digitpress.com, then click on "Mystery Game" in the left-hand bar.

 

Newbies need not apply. Don't get in line. Stay out of the pool. You must be THIS tall to enter the Mystery Game contest.

 

Anyway, these little giveaways here on AA are to help new folks get a free cart of reasonable rarity without having to buy it, find it, etc. The days of the thrift finds are pretty much over. This is just my small way of giving the new guys (and gals) that sense of "Yahoo! I got it!"

 

There may or may not be hints to the Mystery Game's ID within this message.

[MagMax667]

Pitfall 2?

 

Just a guess.

[Smitty]

Has to be Venture II.

 

I still don't have a copy

[rasty]

Mr. Postman?

 

Just a guess...

[smf_4ever]

Private eye?

[Burgel]

Smurf Rescue in Gargamel's Castle? Even though I don't post often, I have been here a long time. May I still play?

Just to prove that many posts don't make everybody an expert:

 

I guess, it's something "green" from Imagic .

[Trey]

Ms. Pacman!

[krisjohn]

Trick Shot?

[Snider-man]

Krisjohn is the proud winner of Imagic's Trick Shot, a great overhead billiard simulation for the Atari 2600. In my first message, I mentioned the words TRICK and SHOT. In my next message was hidden the word POOL.

 

Krisjohn, if you'll send me your address, I'll get your free cart in the mail to you. Congrats!

[krisjohn]

Wow.

 

I did spot the "There's no TRICK or gimmick", but I missed the shot and the pool.

 

Thanks to Snider-man for the compo and to AA for the forum. This community rocks.

Tim, these contests are cool, I think I need to start giving away some carts in this fashion.

[Big Player]

Newbie = (< 300 posts) ?

 

WTF! (must find way to increase post count)

[davidbrit2]

He he. The 'newbie' tagline should be reevaluated. Compare my registration date with my post count. I'm just the strong silent type. :-)

[DEBRO]

This was a good one Tim. Even with the hint from Thomas I didn't get this one. Once krisjohn posted his responce I was like Doh!

 

Now the one you have on DP, I have no clue what that is.

 

Excellent contest my man!!!

[Snider-man]

Actually, by my own definition, *I'm* a newbie! (Take a look at my count.) It's the only fair way I've come up with to determine who's "new" to the board.

 

Plus, if I open it to everyone, Thomas will snag every cart I toss up.

i like the way joshk thinks kool-aid man was the guess i made for the last contests i was wrong but i still think it was good guess
