Identify the characters - mini-game anyone?

Kastchey · Tue 21/04/2009 22:28:58

So this is my entry from the previous BG Blitz, depicting Stan from MI selling a full stock of second hand adventure game characters. I thought it might be fun to post this as an 'identify them all' mini-competition thread. Every featured character comes from an adventure game. I know some of them look pretty generic, and for those I added a gadget or a specific piece of clothing that might ring a bell.

Feels like fun for anybody?

Can't place 7 or 10. The rest I'm pretty sure of:

Spoiler

1. Laverne (DOTT)
2. Bobbin (Loom)
3. Robert Foster (Beneath a Steel Sky)
4. Zanthia (Hand of Fate)
5. The Arrogant Man (Trilby's Notes/6 Days a Sacrifice)
6. Fingus & Winkle (Gobliins 2)
8. Gabriel Knight (GK1)
9. Faye Russel (Flight of the Amazon Queen)
11. Indiana Jones (LC/FOA)
12. Guybrush Threepwood (MI series)

[close]

Edit: Just realized who 3 was after understanding what was on the shirt (first I thought it was a Star Trek sort of emblem, making me think Space Quest 5) - very subtle reference there

Fun thread, would love to see some more (especially if you themed it--Lucas Arts, AGS, Sierra, Sci-fi, etc)

7 could be

the alien skeleton jigsaw puzzle from THE DIG, maybe?

Trent, glad you like it =) I'm kinda enjoying this so I might come up with some more, though theming would make it easier to figure out.. then again, I could be more in-depth then. I'll think about it. And all you got were correct save no.7.

GarageGothic, nice job, all that you got were correct.

Snarky, interesting idea but that's not that.

And forgot to mention, four of them were not playable characters, just remarkable NPC. And that includes the 7 and 10 nobody got yet. I admit they're both tricky ones =)

7 sort of looks like a scorpion skeleton...

Laukku · Wed 22/04/2009 17:47:59

7 looks like Arj0n said, but I'd like to add that it seems to have a female head with black hair and lying on its back.

Kastchey · Wed 22/04/2009 18:06:47

It does have a female head and it is lying on its back. And it is a scorpion-like thing. Yet, remember that in this picture the creature is simply stocked in Stan's jungle shop. In the actual game it wasn't quite as dead as it looks now...

Akril15 · Thu 23/04/2009 11:09:10

Is number 7...

Spoiler

The temptress from Lure of the Temptress, as she appears in the very last scene of the game?

[close]

Great idea, by the way.

Kastchey · Thu 23/04/2009 11:44:52

Akril15, thank you, glad you like it. And congratulations =)

This leaves us with only one character unguessed, no. 10.
Hint:

Spoiler

She was one of the two main female NPC in the third (I think) part of a well known adventure game series.

Takyon · Thu 23/04/2009 21:12:05

Carlotta?

Hudders · Thu 23/04/2009 21:28:54

Agh. Yeah, you're right.

Kastchey · Sat 25/04/2009 12:22:32

Radiant, you got

Spoiler

1,2,4,11,12 correct.

Okay guys, you solved the last one. That's Carlotta indeed.
This was fun to me too, so I might come up with the next round =)

GarageGothic · Sat 25/04/2009 22:34:34

Wow, the human characters in Discworld Noir really made zero impression - not even seeing the screenshot I can remember that dame. Thanks for a great game, Kastchey - that was a lot of fun. Hoping to see another round soon!

Trent R · Sun 26/04/2009 01:56:24

Woo hoo, nicely done 'Tosh!

Can't wait for another one Kastchey, if you end up doing one.
