This is the trivia I was preparing when I noticed so many cute babies in adventures, so women come always first (no pun intended).

This inventory is full of useful items (and a bit of garbage), you're guaranteed to solve any adventure with these 30 objects (almost). Come on, it's the kind of stuff we all carry around in our daily life, especially the ax; but... where do they come from?
As usual 1 point each, 2 if you're the only one to guess it right.

I hope this trivia is not too difficult, you managed to guess the hot bodies with extreme ease and those games were much more obscure.
Anyway I'll post hints for the most difficult ones.

The problem with inventory items is that very few websites have pictures of them.
It's also not so easy to guess WHAT some of these items are.

Is #21 truly what I think it is?  Can I get one of those in my real-life inventory? [smiley=slurp.gif]

I thought 28 was a Molotov bomb  
Still not sure what 8 is. 12 and 17 are driving me crazy, I know I've seen them before...

I don't understand what that means. You posted a new image? I don't see it...

EDIT: Ok, I can see it now after clearing the cache.

And the title of Jack-of-all-items goes to Gonchi  [smiley=bowdown.gif]

Gonchi 30
Shany 25
Lady Kestrel 23
Taio 14
nik2008ofs 13
Andromus 8
Susan 7

Gonchi is so good, it would be interesting to see one of his trivia
I personally took one third of the items, you must admit there are no obscure games like Kama Sutra or Point of View (I restrained myself from putting an object from The day the world broke), only very difficult items

Wow, #26 was Jazz & Faust... I must of blocked the memories of that game from my mind or something.

As for #28, Crystal Key 2 was one of the games that I wrote down as a possible guess, unfortunately, I had 5 other games like Anacapri and Undercover along with it. Oh well...

It's was tough trivia despite the fairly well know games, had you used obscure ones I doubt anyone would have managed many guesses. It was difficult even if you had played the games, note that it took a bit for people to realize #8 was Syberia.

If I had to pick a hardest item to answer I'd go with #29, particularly if you haven't played the Rex Nebular and are depending on image comparison to guess. That's because the inventory bar's background changes throughout the game.

Congratulations, Gonchi!  You did extremely well on this one, and Shany pulled no punches, either!

It suckered me because I glanced at the blue background and didn't look further.  Moby has a couple of items shown on the gray, and chicken is in the inventory list, but I missed it.

The one that drove me crazy from the beginning was Wonderland.  I knew I had seen those black line drawings before, but I just couldn't remember where.  Also, I forgot about the Normality inventory being on lined paper and didn't even look for that one.

It was a tough but excellent trivia, SuperEdy!  Thanks for putting it all together for us!

13 points, not too bad for such a difficult trivia. Still can't believe I missed 12, 13 and 17, they nearly drove me nuts during the contest... I also remembered that there was a puzzle involving a bird in KQ6, but then went "naaaaaaaaaah" :


Congratulations to everyone and to the top players in particular, and thanks for the contest, SuperEdy. Can we expect any more?

Once again, thanks for a fun trivia, SuperEdy.
I'm very surprised I'm the only one who guessed #28 - it was pretty easy to google (or am I the only 'cheater' to use Google?)
Wonderland was another one you could find with google.

I'm mad at myself for not guessing 'Nibiru'. I kept thinking of it whenever I looked at #17, but couldn't remember that item.
I also should've looked a bit more into no. 10. Lucas Arts' items have a certain look to them, so I should've searched more.

I'm proud of myself for getting 'Normality' - I should've remembered the unique inventory sooner, but it was a fun dicovery.
Also proud at getting 'Hans Christian Andersen'. There aren't that many 3D cartoony games, but the title is still pretty obscure.
The item from Ankh was a sneaky one - it stays in your inventory for 10 minutes at the most. At least it's fairly memorable.

Congrats Gonchi! And good job LadyK and everyone else.
