Well, nothing until ZFR replies to my PM... but as he is currently offline that may be a while..

I don't think the answer will actually give anyone any clues but I won't share it anyway unless ZFR says its ok, don't want to spoil his puzzle :)

I will say it is a nice selection of games though.

Good on ya, mate. I'm still stuck.

Cool+1 because you're not stupid like me and figured it out!

Keep trying, it took me a bit (and a change of tools) to figure it out.

Nah, it's just knowing what I was looking at and keeping trying from there. The clues are all there ;)

Confirmed! Yippee and yay! :)

Welcome to the club! ;)

It's not that hard. Just read ZFR's hints carefully. ;)

Thanks to all who participated.

We got three winners already. I am impressed; thought it would take longer to solve. Took me about 3 hours to make it.

Out of three, one person said he won't be taking any games, so at least 1 is still up for grabs.

As soon as I get details from the other 2 about game choices, I'll post the results so far here. Please if you get it, don't post the name of the games; it won't help anyone with the solution, I just want it to be a surprise. I will post the games already taken along with winners soon as I get PM replies for all.

If you get the answer (and figure out the games), when you PM me the result, you can tell me straight away which games you want and in which order (in case someone else who solved it earlier takes your first choice).

I will be offline during the night (Europe time) and will post some hints tomorrow.

Yah, sorry. I'm tapped out. Defeated by this one.

I'm continuing now, but I won't be taking any games either.

Edit:
Oh boy, got through the first part. Now onto the second. This is my kind of puzzle! :-D

Edit2:
Damnit, I can't get it to work. I'd accuse you of having made an error when you encoded this, but seeing as others have gotten all the way through, that can hardly be the case.

Yup, and just follow the clues.

Winners so far:

helpo1: Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Complete
drennan: (no game taken; didn't I say solving it is a great reward in itself ;))
adaliabooks: Planescape Torment

Still left for grabs: 1 game and an infinite amount of satisfaction for solving the puzzle.

Not in, but thanks for the giveaway! +1

Got it! Damn, I'm an idiot! I made a wrong assumption in an earlier step, and had to decode the last part manually. In hindsight, it's obvious what I did wrong. Still, no spoilers.

At least I can assure you that you're not the only one who thought this after getting it. So obvious, wasn't it? :D

Holy crap, I figured it out! Confidence boost for the day!
Not in, though.

Fun challenge, thanks :) +
