  1. Here's the complication:

    The song in the fourth clue ISN'T an orchestral piece.

    http://www.onlinesheetmusic.com/prelude-in-54-p287894.aspx

    It's a guitar solo written by the jazz musician, Ivor Mairants. He also founded well-known music store in the UK. It's an obscure song, so its selection for the clue should matter... a lot.

    Ivor Mairants was a composer on the Lavinder Hill Mob which was filmed in the same studio as the film inserts for the daleks episode of the classic series of doctor who and more recently for the David Tenant Episode the impossible planet and the Satan Pit.

  2. Ok so im not that photo savvy but, isnt the first clue's picture the negative of the second clues picture. If so maybe thats a clue as well in a way.

    The first picture is about money so it is clearly a reference to the admission fee the second picture is a negative picture of money. So it is saying that after you have been to Halloween Horror Nights, you will have negative money in your account :D

  3. I know what you're referencing, but I think that dig might be a little too recent. I'm pretty sure that A&D had already begun writing before that was happening.

    Might be worth speculating but I may have solved that already.

    But the mass burial of ET cartridges is an Atari Legend prior to them being recovered.

  4. OK OK

    Here is a list of the Horror IPs I could find for Atari 2600

    Texas Chainsaw Massacre

    Halloween

    Alien

    Phantasam

    Friday the 13th

    Nightmare On Elm Street

    Gremlins

    .... and Ghostbusters 1 and 2 if you want to call that horror.

    • and also Krull. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krull_(film) to be niche enough.
    • Edit and other speculation Centipede: The human centipede or tremors
    • The first survival horror game called Haunted House.
    • Stargate.
    • Carnival ( American Horror Story Carnival?)
    • Frankensteins Monster
    • Mr Do: Published by universal.
    • Halo was also made on the atari as a modern homebrew title(if going for misdirection)
  5. Because I'm bored and I want something to solve.

    Here's a list of Atari 2600 games that have signature sounds (at least a list of ones I remember sounds from)

    Pitfall

    Qix

    Q-bert

    Adventure

    Pong

    Breakout

    Yar's Revenge

    I'll update this as I remember portions of my childhood.

    virtually all Atari 2600 games had signature music. It is hard not to make your music signature when it has the same four beats on a loop because of limited memory.
  6. Pfft, no. Dig dug wouldn't be intense enough.

    Let me blow your mind.

    What's the scariest game on the atari 2600?

    ET-Atari-2600.jpg

    Who's the internet reviewer who's too afraid to play it?

    James Rolfe.

    Who has a movie coming up where he does?

    James Rolfe.

    The prop master? More like "Captain N: The game master."

    He's also had a review of ghost busters.

    He's even had multiple requests to do it

  7. Hooray for crazy theory time!!!

    Given that the second Dr. Jimmy post SEEMS to discount Alien, the first post is mostly a tease. If I take away all the Giger references and assume it is pointing towards an IP, I read it as Ghostbusters.

    1. Geiger counter is what Egon uses to detect ghosts.

    2. Beauty is only skin deep could be a reference to the ghost Gozer (the actress was a model) plus Gozer looked pretty but was entirely evil.

    3. "Entirely different alien species" is referring to ghosts as alien in this sense just means foreign and the species is not at all related to outer space.

    4. Ghosts are referred to as the undead, as are Strengoits. If we are refusing to accept the undead as being corporeal, he has referred us to another lifeforce which would be the soul. In pop culture, the soul is what people believe ghosts to be.

    I will admit that this assumes Dr. Jimmy misspelled Geiger as Giger to mislead us, it assumes the house is an IP instead of just an inspired by an IP house, and it assumes that Dr. Jimmy is discounting Alien in his second post.

    Gieger counters are not used in ghostbusters it is a P.K.E meter you are thinking about.

  8. Let's be fair.

    A LOT of the games for the atari 2600 looked terrible. I can also see what you're saying about a red herring. Perhaps one of us will get Alien. Some day.

    I still have my doubts about the relevance of the tweets regarding Orlando's event.

    Aliens looks bad for an Atari 2600 game, I just think iconic theme tune and ghostbusters seems too obvious.

  9. Anyone reckon that this year there may be more of an attempt to appeal to the fans rather than the mainstream. While even attempting to underplay the popularity of HHN. My theory behind this is that HHN is already going to be popular/busy/at capacity this year as visitors use HHN to visit diagon alley. This means the creative team do not need to use houses to pull in the crowds giving more creative freedom.
