Actually I still own my Amigas

Of course I do too.

I haven't still got my one-of-a-kind Atari ST! 

Would the crime have occurred even if he hadn't made the phone call?

I seem to recall there being a game based on Monty Python's Flying Circus, this seems like maybe it would fit...?

[Ender's Game]

I definitely want to read Ender's Game.  I did try one other of his books but when I got it I didn't realise it was part way through a book series, and I just don't do well with those if I don't start at the beginning.

I'm on a bit of a Clive Cussler run at the moment (fairly light reading but good characters and a bit of escapism, although saying that Sahara was actually pretty epic), via Philip K Dick's "The Man in the High Castle" (pretty warped and surreal, can't honestly work out if I enjoyed it or not!).  But I really should get back into some good sci-fi.  I must get round to reading a novel or two by Kurt Vonnegut Jr - I've read quite a few of his short stories, but never a novel.  (If anyone has a recommendation for a good Vonegut novel let me know!)

[Second Foundation]

@dactylopus wow your post really takes me back... I was seriously into sci-fi, particularly Asimov and ACC, in my younger years.  My favourite Asimov novel is actually not part of a series, although I loved the Foundation novels (particularly Second Foundation and Foundation & Empire) - it's one called Nemesis, for some reason that one really stuck with me.  Also Nightfall which he co-wrote with Robert Silverberg was good.

Childhood's End is one of my favourite ACC books though I think The City and the Stars just about pips it. 

Haven't read much Orson Scott Card (yet) but I recently read Songmaster which was phenomenal.

Okay enough reminiscing for now! 

Stand By Me?

Was the phone call made using a mobile phone?
The the police / authorities use the call record (specifically) as incriminating evidence?
Was the phone ringing in itself a signal to someone?

Does he make a phone call from the scene of the crime?
Does he make a phone call near the scene of the crime?

D'oh... was he driving when he made the call?

Does the phone call trigger a bomb?

Plus he answered no to is this man a historical figure.

Yes okay point taken, I hadn't been paying enough attention!    I got all enthusiastic about what I thought was a burst of inspiration, but sadly it was just a burst...   

(Richard III is buried in Leicester Cathedral, not on display in a history museum.)

D'oh yes of course...

Ok let's try to tie down the age of the corpse a bit more.

Are the remains more than 750 years old?
Are the remains more than 1,250 years old?
Are the remains more than 1,500 years old?

Thanks Peder!

Is the man King Richard III?

Is the museum built over the remains of a different type of building from the time during which the man died?

Haven't got a Scooby I'm afraid.

@Snarky - Really?  I would have thought it was more like 40% (for walking).
@helpessfool - congrats on making your first game!

Did he work on a pyramid?

It's really hard trying to think of a quote from a video game.

Also unlike the movie quote game it's not so easy to find places to check your quotes or find a new one if nothing comes to mind!

I asked some (what I thought were fairly good) questions, he game some (what are I think are extremely good) answers!
