Unfortunately, "This Contest is only open to residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia, and Canada" so us non-US players will just have to pout... like I'm doing right now.

Good luck to the rest of you though.

Watch out for #11 and #20, they are trick questions with no correct answer!

Ya, that's a tough questionnaire! There are many I have no clue about (mainly about the first two games).

That's a tough set of questions. For a bunch of them, I just had to fire up SEII to answer them http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif I'm positive I answered 15 correct, and think I got another 3. Not sure about either of the ones about SEI (don't have my compilation disk here to check the answers!).

For #11, do you think it's a typo, and they meant to say "Pack Rats"?

SE2 and SE3 are easily obtained... but it seems the SE1 questions close the contest to anyone without a compilation disk.

The additional choice of 5, 7 or 10 games seems extremely minor compared to SE5... maybe they'd make good Christmas presents.

I am stuck debating what would be considered 'sound effects' in SEII.

[edit] nm, i read the help file. Does None qualify as an atmosphere type?

I don't know if the mods would have a problem with that... and we don't want to make it too easy for the countless people who are not really interested in the game. I have a where to look guide for questions 4-20... which doesn't completely give everything away. I will post that if nobody has a problem with it.
Questions 1-3 are still a sore spot, since AFAIK, se1 is only available through http://www.malfador.com/se3order.html

Yes, one of the answers is correct, and it's obvious they meant to say "Pack Rats" instead of "Pack Rates".

Re: Pack Rats... in SEIII, units were much more like weapons, so I could see the switching of terms.

Those are tough questions indeed. I don't know anything about SE I... I wonder what happens if nobody gets all 20 questions right? Will they still draw a winner from the people who got the most correct? Well, I suppose that because of the multiple choice, some people will get all the answers right by guessing.
