G'day everyone!

So, after some thought I've decide to put "Where in Gaming is KG?" on an indefinite hiatus. There hasn't been as much interest this time round, due to a number of factors I imagine.

Thanks to all of you who were interested! We now return you to your regularly scheduled game blogging.

Game on!

ROUND 8!

For those of you that may be unfamiliar with who KG is exactly, I am referring to none other than the notorious King Graham from the original King's Quest, circa 1984.

The premise is simple. Take a look at the image above and determine which game KG is visiting; then jot down your answer in the comments section below. The game may be from any platform, any genre.

If you are just joining in the game, please ensure that you read the rules thoroughly.

WHERE IN GAMING IS KG?

OFFICIAL RULES
Last Updated: Sept. 2, 2008

General Description

"Where in Gaming is KG?" is a puzzle-game, where participants attempt to guess which game King Graham (of King's Quest I fame) is visiting. Their view of the game in question is generally limited, and hints are available as each round progresses until the correct answer is given.

"WiGiKG?" is played every Tuesday and Friday, assuming each round is completed on time, and assuming life is not generally getting in the way. The majority of images used in "WiGiKG?" can be found on GameSpot, unless the game is older or more obscure, in which case images will be pulled from Google Images.

Rules

1. The game is open to any registered user on GameSpot. However, users that have previously won any season of "WiGiKG?" are not eligible to win again.

2. Users may guess more than once in any given round. No user may submit more than one guess per twelve hour period (i.e. no more than two guesses per twenty-four hours).

3. Guesses are to be placed in the comments section of that round's blog posting. Guesses delivered via any other means will not be accepted.

4. Guesses must include both the title of the game, and the platform directly being referred to. Reason being some games may be available on more than one platform, but the image used for "WiGiKG?" will have come from only one of them. If the image can be found in any or all of the platforms for the given game, then any of the platforms may be included with the guess and still be considered correct.

5. Hints will be delivered at 3pm and 11pm daily, placed in the comment section of the current round.

6. The decision of the judge (CMJR) is final.

Visitors

1. Beginning Season Two, KG will be occasionally joined by a visitor; a character from a game other than King's Quest, and other than the main game in question.

2. Guessing the visitor is a separate challenge from the main game.

3. The visitor must be guessed by their name and game of origin. The platform is not required.

4. Guessing the visitor does not afford any points. However, the user who correctly guesses will receive a bonus card, which will be given and described when the correct guess is made.

5. If the main game is guessed before the visitor is guessed, then the round is over. Any user declaring the visitor past the correct answer of the main game receives no bonus.

6. If the visitor is not revealed when a round ends, they will reappear in the next round and every round thereafter until guessed.

7. No user may guess the visitor and the main game within the same round, as this would afford an unfair advantage.

Scoring

1. Current score standings are posted both at the beginning of a new round and at the end, where the next set of scores is calculated.

2. Each round is worth 1 point, unless the user that makes the correct guess is sitting in the top position in the standings, in which case they earn 2 points. This is to give those users coming into the game later than others a chance to get ahead.

3. When a player correctly guesses, they move to the top of the standings and all other players are bumped down one rung. In this way, a player that is playing consistently does not need to win every round in order to maintain their score.

4. Each round, any players not in the top 5 on the current standings will lose one point per round.

5. Any players currently holding any score greater than zero will appear in the current standings. Those players with scores less than one will not appear.

6. Scoring may change for special rounds, in which case certain rules in this section may be modified or void. Details on scoring for special rounds will be included in the description for that round.

GOOD LUCK!
