Now that Benjamin's (Benj...@Platformer.com) prize is in the mail from "Scott
Wozniak Contest # 2", it's time for "Scott Wozniak Contest # 3." Just like
my first 2 contests, the first person to answer ALL questions correctly will be
the prize winner. You only get ONE chance, folks. If you don't get the
answers correct on your first shot, you are disqualified. Sorry, but too many
pain in the ass people kept e-mailing me every 3 minutes with their updated
guesses and I feel that really isn't fair. The prize this time will be:

THE *ENTIRE* VOLUME 2 OF DIEHARD GAMEFAN MAGAZINE.

That's 12 full issues from December 1993 to December 1994.
If you try to order these from GameFan, they don't even have a lot of them
anymore and the issues that they *do* have are $10 - $15 EACH.
There's a LOT of good old-school gaming nostalgia to be read in these mags.

As usual, I will take care of the shipping myself so the winner doesn't have to
pay *anything.* I will ONLY accept entries by E-MAIL. Do *not* post your
answers to rec.games.video.sega because I'll just ignore them. Now, on to the
questions...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------

1. True or False. "Out Of This World" was released for the Sega Genesis,
Super Nintendo and 3DO systems in the United States.

2. True or False. A version of "Pandemonium" was released for the Japanese
Sega Saturn as "Magical Hoppers" with the 2 main characters changed
graphically.

3. True or False. The last version of "The King Of Fighters" to be released
on the Japanese Sega Saturn was '98.

4. True or False. "Strider" for the Sega Genesis was a 16-Meg cart.

5. Name the developer of "Duke Nukem 3D" for the US Sega Saturn.

6. True or False. "Radiant Silvergun" was originally an arcade game before
being released for the Japanese Sega Saturn.

7. "Beyond Oasis" is an adventure/RPG for the US Sega Genesis. What was this
game's title in Japan?

8. What company released the Sega Genesis shooter "Grind Stormer" in the United
States?

9. True or False. "Saturn Bomberman" supports 10-player simultaneous play.

10. What company released the Sega Genesis title "HAUNTING: Starring POLTERGUY"
for the Sega Genesis in the US?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remove "eGETsome" from the end of my e-mail address to reply.

Oh, one more thing. BENJAMIN - Since you were the winner of the last 2
contests, I'm automatically disqualifying you from entering this one. Give
someone else a chance, OK? :)

It seems I was in error about the winner of my contest. Although I announced
that "The Dicks Of Hazard" was the winner, he actually was not. Although his
e-mail was first in line in my mailbox with the right answers, I realized by
looking at the time-stamps that somebody had actually beat him. It would
appear that the winner is actually:

UGZ Ot...@aol.com

I just noticed that the time on his e-mail beat "The Dicks Of Hazard" by about
20 minutes. E-mails can sometimes get delayed on AO-Hell and unfortunately
this was one of those cases. I'd love to be a nice guy and give both of you
guys prizes but I just don't have the resources. To be fair, I have to award
the prize to the guy that sent me the right answers first. My apologies go
out to "The Dicks Of Hazard" and congratulations go out to "UGZ Otaku."
Sorry for the goof-up.

Actually, Out Of This World was a Sega CD game... NOT a Genesis
game... :^)

The name of the programmers that worked on Duke Nukem 3D was
"Lobotomy Software"


Which in turn, It looks like I had a Lobotomy because I forgot this
question. ^_^

after I sent the first one.. please let me know though.. ^_^;

Wrong. It was released for the Sega Genesis on cartridge in the US. I own
it. Go look at a Funco list and you'll see it.

Useless outdated magazines? Have you never heard of a COLLECTOR?? Especially
as big a Game Fan fanatic as I am (as anyone who knows me can attest to that).

What? You mean that "arcade mode" wasn't just there for decoration? :D

LOL... I know but you'd be surprised by how many people thought the answer was
"false." I'll assume that these people don't actually own the game. :)
