Nobody wins until all of the guesses have been confirmed and the final standings have been published :mrgreen:

Here is the current situation:

And these are the current standings:

+3code: 3 pts.
clebin, bluespikey, R-Tape: 2 pts.
evilpaul, Juan F. Ramirez, Mat Gubbins, Green Card: 1 pt.

Should you wish to ask for a clue for a certain number, feel free to do so, but beware: after the clue has been given, correctly guessing that number will be worth half a point instead of a full one! ;)

9 - SAS Combat Assault

That's weird. There was something about the tall style that made this game come to mind, even though I've barely played it. And lo and behold - there was the toilet!

And now [mention]R-Tape[/mention] has reached [mention]+3code[/mention] at the top, with 3 points each!

There are still 4 points up for grabs, if someone does not ask for a clue ;) Everything can change!

I think it's time for clues Ale! (Or are they private clues? In which case I'll ask for a clue to #14).

Hi [mention]R-Tape[/mention], no they are not private, they just make the respective guess worth half a point for everyone.

Anyway: here goes the clue for n. 14! :)

The game where you can find this toilet cannot be downloaded, its distribution having been denied. It was a full price release and has not been re-released on budget.

The House that Jack built? It looks like it has to be one of those Thor games.

Unlikely though, as I can't see it on the map, but maybe it's a crafty clue and it's a hidden room or something.

No, in fact it is not The House That Jack Built and the toilet is not located in a hidden room.

The game was not released either by Electric Dreams or by Thor/Odin by the way.

I've never spent so long trying to solve a toilet based conundrum since I had to unblock the soil pipe.

I'd like to cast a vote for clues on the remaining pics too please. Anyone else?

I agree. No one seems to have ideas for the remaining toilets, I think Alessandro can give clues for all the remaining 0'5 points thrones.

All right folks. Since the two top players both asked for clues, all remaining points are halved! :o

No. 3 comes from a commercially released game which about 20 years ago was discovered to be based on a heavily modified Jet Set Willy engine, in fact it is listed in the database as a JSW "mod". It is also famous for a series of bugs which have been fixed in recent years.

Image

No, not that kind of "mod"!

No. 6 comes from a game involving travel through time.

No. 13 appears in a game released in the Nineties, which has to do with a kind of abnormal behavior.

About No. 14 ...well, in addition to what has already been revealed, the protagonist is not human.

If any of them were TimeTrax I'd have known it on sight. I've spent longer with that game than everyone else on this forum put together.

I know no. 6 but I’m not going to pretend Final Fantasy is a guess! I reckon if I try that on, Alessandro will flush my current score down the pixellated toilet…
