[Rhindle The Red]

Well, here's you're chance to win what I won. (Sniderman will send it to you instead of me.)

 

"Eliminate the middle man (Me)!"

 

 

Here's the contest (it shouldn't be too hard):

 

I've got a list of 5 actors who all played the same character on TV and in the movies. The character they all played appears in an Atari 2600 title that is loved by some and reviled by others. Two of the actors are dead. One of them died on my 33rd birthday. The other died on Halloween.

 

Name the actors and the character they played.

 

All information can be found in the AtariAge message boards and on the Web. Post all answers to this thead. First to get all five wins.

 

Go.

 

In the making of this film, which deals with a strange and curious subject, no punches have been pulled--no easy way out has been taken.

[King Atari]

Dear golly, I don't know.

 

I'm gonna guess Frankenstein (as in Frankenstein's Monster).

 

Boris Karloff

Lon Chaney

Bela Lugosi

Peter Cushing

Christopher Lee

 

Those probably aren't right, I'm not even sure if half of those people actually played the monster.

[Snider-man]

Oh, I'm dyin' here....

who says you can't? That way if you win, you don't have to send out the cart!

[Snider-man]

Nope. Not fair. I PMed my guess to Rhindle just for giggles. Get crackin', the rest of ya!

[snorlaxnut]

Here's my guess, I might got it wrong:

 

Ken Howard

Frank McGlynn Jr.

Wayne Maunder

Robert Shaw

Philip Carey

 

They all played Gen. George Armstrong Custer

 

The game : CUSTER'S REVENGE

 

[maibock]

Well here goes my wild guess.

 

At first i thought the A-Team but there were on 4

 

so my next guess would be Flash Gordon who did both the movies and tv

 

here are the cast:

 

Buster Crabbe [Flash Gordon]

Jean Rogers [Dale Arden]

Charles Middleton [Ming the Merciless]

Priscilla Lawson [Princess Aura]

Frank Shannon [Dr Alexis Zarkov]

 

I've spent waaaaaaay too much time on this, I sure hope I'm right

[Keir]

I'm guessing that the game is Raiders of the Lost Ark and the character is Indiana Jones.

 

The actors are:

 

Harrison Ford

River Phoenix

Sean Patrick Flanery

Corey Carrier

George Hall (I)

[Rhindle The Red]

Ding! Ding! Ding!

 

We have a winner!

 

Keir can PM me his shipping info and I'll pass it along to Snider-man

 

The character was, indeed, Indiana Jones and the five actors are:

 

• Harrison Ford (Indy in Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and one episode of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles)

 

River Phoenix (Young Indy in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade)

-River died on October 31, 1993

 

Corey Carrier (Indy at Age 10 in The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles)

 

George Hall (Indy at Age 93 in The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles)

-Hall passed away on October 21, 2002 (my 33rd birthday)

 

Sean Patrick Flannery (Indy at Age 16+ in The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles)

Thanks to everyone who tried or even looked.

 

Bring the sacrifice weapon!

[NE146]

*phew* I woulda never guessed that sh*t in a million years!

[Snider-man]

*phew* I woulda never guessed that sh*t in a million years!  

 

I would have - and did.

[Rhindle The Red]

*phew* I woulda never guessed that sh*t in a million years!  

 

I would have - and did.

 

True, true. I must state publicly that Snider-man had, in fact, gotten the answer right in his PM to me.

 

I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank him for going along with this little piece of nonsensical fun.

 

I'm mulling another contest (more complicated, with a better prize & with more personal involvement from me) so stay tuned, all!

 

Yeah you would. Maybe you would.

[Keir]

I meant to verify that I got the cart as soon as I got it, but it slipped my mind. Anyway, thank you Philip and Tim!
