Thomas Jentzsch Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I really wanted to find them all, but I guessed my answer to the challenge at 16 positive id's. You can guess the answer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 "OK," said the Macigian. "I will give these adventurers two simple visual clues to unlock the secret."[/i] I still only understand "shift the stripes". Which is what had understood way before. But it looks like you are limiting that to vertical stripes (which IMO makes even less sense now). And the number of stripes in the second picture doesn't make any sense too, since you can' t divide 20 by 9. Oh well, I must admit I am totally lost on this puzzle. Ben where are you? Your and my minds where much more compatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well... he never said he guessed CORRECTLY. Very true, I just typed something in out of frustration to see what would happen. It was of course wrong.

Mayhem Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Well I probably need a few more box art identifiers before I am able to figure out what to do with them for starters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Lange Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 So I assume that the first 16 titles in the word search give us the 'list' from which the other 10 titles also come from, is that correct? I found a 17th title using the 'bar' method. WRL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Ok, I got the 10 missing games now. But they all have the same in common as the other 16. And I tried that days ago and it didn't work. Still missing something... BTW: My problem was, that I had always shifted the pieces wrong.

The Other TJ Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 If I never see another Atari box, it would be far too soon. Luckily this won't be a problem, since I've gone blind from staring at my computer screen. I've identified 100%, but can't figure out the mystery. Nobody else seemed to have trouble here so I'm succeeding in the brute force department and failing in the brains department! Argh!

Inky Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I must be blind, or dumb, or both, because I'm not getting the clues to the word search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Lange Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I found a 17th title. I also found part of a message, but thats it for me. I tried blacking out every other column and I tried blacking out every other row. WRL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.FoodMonster Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 also found another title, almost 2 others, but the way to solve it must be how i see the rest of it. dammit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
