Which resulted in this gift code: QX4D-N54K-WUJB-2YDE

ORIGINAL POST:
Today is my birthday and so I've decided to 'give away' my copy of Miasmata that I managed to snatch for free a while ago.

To make things interesting (I hope) I've hidden the gift code for the game in the attached image. The image contains 16 screenshots of games that I've played in my younger (and more carefree) years. The games are all DOS games that are, as of yet, not present on GOG. :-(

You'll have to find the titles of these games if you are interested in winning Miasmata. To be exact, you need the first letter of the title for each screenshot containing an orange number, and you need the amount of words in the title for each screenshot containing a blue number.

The number itself refers to the position of said letter or said amount within the gift code. So once you know every title, you also know the gift code.

Note the following:

- When looking for a letter and since articles at the beginning of a title are so common you'll be needing the first letter of the second word in the title if it starts with 'The', 'A' or 'An'.
- Everything in the title that is separated by spaces I count as a word. So, to clarify, this also includes articles ('The', 'A' or 'An') and includes numbers among others.

For example, if one of the screenshots in the image is from the game 'The Bard's Tale III: Thief of Fate' then you'd need the 'B' if the number in the screenshot is orange, and '7' if the number in the screenshot is blue.

For the exact title and correct notation of the title I've used Moby Games as a reference.

If you have trouble guessing one of the games, mention it in a post, and I might give away a hint every once in a while for the images that leave most of you stumped. No PM's for requests regarding the solution, hints or similar please.

I will name the user who redeemed the game here in the opening post.

The contest will last until the game is claimed (unless the demand is low as the game could be obtained rather cheap during sales in the past...)

Well, at least I had fun putting this thing together.

Thanks goes to Thiev for the general idea for this giveaway

Good luck!

A very happy birthday to you! ☺

I'll try to figure it out, though I'm not good at this kind of thing. *laugh* Been wanting Miasmata!

*goes off to look at pic*

EDIT: Holy cow! lol~ I know only ONE of those games, and I can't remember the name of it!

*goes off to ponder some more*

EDIT #2: Nope, have NO idea what the rest of the games are, but I DO remember the name of #12. I used to be pretty good at that one! I remember playing it in an actual arcade! lol~

Good luck everyone, I'm out!

NI but I wish you a happy bday and hope you'll have a great time ;)
Happy birthday, Zjeraar! Thank you for the giveaway. +1

Not in, but the giveaway format is very intriguing. I only recognize 3 games. Good luck to those interested in the game.
Quick look makes me think I know half of those games, and have a familiar feeling for a few more. Already have Miasmata though, so consider this a small bump ;)
Not old enough to recognize any of them.

Correction, never saw or played any of them before today. Assumed they were older than I was due to the graphics.

By 15 I mean the image 15, not age 15. You must have seen that game at some point.

I'm guessing its the one that starts with D but I'd have to check to be sure.
