The Answers Revealed

Allrighty kids...let's see how you did, shall we?

Question #1: The Super Nintendo version of Wolfenstein 3D had a few major content changes. Name two.

Answer: All Nazi references were removed, and the blood was colored yellow (so as to resemble sweat instead). The dogs were also changed to rats for some strange reason.

Question #2: Name three games that have been released that utilize the Unreal engine.

Answer: Unreal, TNN Outdoors Pro Hunter, and Klingon Honor Guard.

Question #3: Several years before Unreal, Epic released a very different first person shooter. What game was it, and who authored the engine?

Answer: Ken's Labryinth, by Ken Silverman. He would later go on to write the Build engine.

And the winner is...Dan Hoffman!

Congrats! E-mail us the name of the game you want, and we'll get that out to you.

And here's the reason you really came by...those weird entries we always seem to get.

Question #1: Lots of Mario references to be found here...

"Replaced health packs with magic mushrooms. Ability to kill stormtroopers by jumping on there head. Replaced "GUTENTAAG!" sound with cheerful Mario theme music.

All Nazi references removed. If you were a Perl programmer you'd think it was funny if I said all pointers to Nazis removed. well, I'm laughing anyway :P
-- Hippo

Instead of the German SS agents yelling "Halten se", Mario did flips and yelled "Yippie!". If you killed him, he didn't yell "My leven!" he yelled "PEACH!"

It was only SNES compatible so no matter how hard you pressed, you couldn't fit the cartridge in your floppy disk drive.
-- Pongo Twistleton

Ah yes, this is an easy one. Nintendo, with their renown strict gaming guidelines, were forced to remove the dancing three-legged frogman, because apparently there were too many complaints from angry parents that the third leg of Super Frogman bore more of a resemblance to an abdominal appendage, whose gratuitous display in an adolescent aimed software product was highly inappropriate, than that of a necessary tripedal locomotive limb. They also removed the main character s nipples, because nipples serve no function on the male body.
-- Kenneth Yeung

It was modified into a side-scrolling turtle hunt with psycadelic mushrooms and crazy-big bong pipes. With Nazis.

Question #2: Anytime you ask for a list, you're bound to get some strange games mentioned.

Unreal, Heretic II and Bratwurst for the Amiga.
-- Bloater Paste

A game released by a company trying to use the Unreal Engine's success, yet not quite getting there at all. A game released by a struggling company trying to crawl itself back into the big time so it's CEO can spend more money on an expensive car that a woman he met for one day will take. Another game created for the sole purpose of trying to make money, thus failing miserably and have its title changed to "Star Trek."
-- Micheal Welker

Unreal Sucks
-- BreadBoy

Some ass-like hunting game, some ass-like hunting game, and some ass-like
hunting game!
-- Robert U

"You Don't Know Jack". No, seriously....*I don't.*
-- Pablo J. Nevares

It was called Duke Nukem, and it was made by the almighty, all powerful LevelLord. Actually, he probably only made the levels...It was actually MADE by *cough, weez, hack* Smith, right? -- Vornskr

Barbie Fur Crusade... As a Militant anti fur activist barbie must drench bezerker fashion mavens in fake blood. Engine by James Joyce.
-- Simon Holcroft

Are you kidding me, man? Everybody knows the existence of Faceball 2000! The guy who authored it had to be somebody from the 70's because he had to like those yellow smily faces.
-- Kevin D. Ha

Duke Nukem, Ken Silverman built the 'build' engine.
-- Hippo

I wrote it. It was called Uncle Jesse's Duke Boy Ho-Down, and called for all your favorite Duke Boys, Bo, Luke, and, um, Daisy to hunt down and brutally murder various barnyard animals. The funny part was that after you completed a level, the sheep... Well, I guess that isn't so funny
afterall.
-- final

Hope you all had fun...and hey! Lookit! It's another contest! Enter away!

Official looking tiny print^TM: All decisions are final, so there. Muahahahahah. We gots mad skilz y0. We am l337. We 0wnz j0. Useless facts: Search is the second most used tool on the internet after e-mail. A duck's quack doesn't echo. No one knows why. Chocolate kills dogs (it affects a dog's heart and nervous system; a few ounces is enough to kill a small sized dog). An average of 13 boxes of jello are purchased every second in the united states. Earth is the only planet not named after a god. "101 Dalmatians" and "Peter Pan" are the only two Disney cartoon features in which both parents are present and don't die throughout the movie. Only 55% of Americans know that the sun is a star. There is a city named Rome on every continent. The screwdriver was invented before the screw. The three-chime jingle you hear on NBC are the notes G, E, and C, which stand for General Electric Company, the company that owns NBC. In the original Austin Powers movie, when Mike Myers and Elizabeth Hurley are on top of the bus, for one scene Mike Myers' teeth are clean. In Titanic, the lake that Jack told Rose he went ice fishing on when she was threatening to jump is a man-made lake in Wisconsin near Chippewa Falls (where Jack grew up). The lake was filled in 1917, 5 years after Titanic sank. That means Jack must've been roughly 10 years old or younger when he said he went ice fishing and fell in to the cold water, yet the lake never existed before 1917. There have been more useless facts printed here than games made by id Software, Epic, and 3D Realms combined. Think about it. A man named Ed Peterson is the inventor of the Egg McMuffin. In Dallas, Texas It's illegal to possess realistic dildos. I can't make stuff like that up...trust me. In Mesquite, TX it is illegal for children to have unusual haircuts. Now go home! I'll have more next week. :)
