Amiga April Fools Contest - With Prizes

[Kong]

This is a contest.

Amiga games will be added to Retro Uprising this week.

To win all you have to do is answer this question correctly.

Do you think this is an April Fools joke? Yes or No.

If you win then you can pick anything from this list (http://glyde.com/collections/1-437552481) and have it shipped to you for free.

The fine print.


You must post your answer on April First EST.
The prize choices will be given on first come first serve basis. Whoever answers correctly first gets first pick, so answer ASAP.
Nearly all of the prizes are used, most do not have cases. None are guaranteed to work but as far as I know they all play. If you have questions about any specific prize such as does it have case, manual, scratches, cellophane etc. Let me know.
There will be more contests with these same prizes until they are all gone. You can have free shipping only once. So if you plan to win more than one contest you can have me hold on to them and ship them all at once at the end for free or you can have me ship the first one for free right away and you pay for the shipping yourself via paypal when you win other prizes in the future.

EDIT
Contest is over.
I am 90% sure that Amiga will be added this week but there is always the chance that something goes wrong and delays it. So if you voted no then you most likely won. If you voted yes don't give up hope yet. You could still win if the games are not up by next Thursday but you most likely lost.

Maybe Votes - I guess technically this was the correct answer. You can pick something after Bluej.

Interesting, more than double yes votes than no votes. I guess...
People are mistrustful of the Internet, or me :sidefrown:
Or they didn't understand the question
Or they were hedging their bets, if Amiga is added they get more online games, if it is not then at least they still get a prize.

If you voted No then go to Glyde: 1-437552481's collection (http://glyde.com/collections/1-437552481) pick 1 item from the three pages and PM (http://retrouprising.com/private.php?do=newpm&u=1) the title and your address to me. If anyone picks the same item then the first person gets it. Example David gets first pick. Bluej gets last pick. If you want you can also pick an NFL Team Wii-Mote face plate. Just let me know what team you want. Amazon.com: Mad Catz NFL Wii Showcase: Sports & Outdoors

[Tails]

Haha Kong, just say Sailor Moon coin op will be added too. Nice try. :P

[david man45]

My answer Is no.
I hope i'm right.

[yoshi_star10]

i say yes but im not in it to win prizes none of those interest me, i have no idea wha time that is in central its 11:46 right now

[david man45]

12:50am. None of the prizes dazzle me either. Is there going to be a badge involved?

[Kong]

No badges, it's a pretty easy contest. Say yes or no and have a 50% chance of winning.

In case you didn't notice there is three pages. Mostly DVDs but some PS2 and Game Cube games.

[david man45]

Game Cube works on the WII right?

[Tails]

Game Cube works on the WII right?
Yes.

[Dudebro]

What the hell I'll guess yes.

[Slime Slayer]

no

---------- Post added at 06:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 AM ----------

[GaMeR_mAn_1]

I am gopnna have to go with no.

[Slime Slayer]

yes

[Dudebro]

Maybe?

[Slime Slayer]

maybe

[GaMeR_mAn_1]

For some reason it wont let me see the list of prizes though.

[Kugyince]

Yes.

[Dudebro]

For some reason it wont let me see the list of prizes though.
It works for me, what happens when you click it?

[Dudebro]

Your rickroll failed because it took a second to load and the link was obvious. I rated you down for the played out joke, I was hoping for creative rick roll at least.

---------- Post added at 05:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 AM ----------

I feel I should mention that I rated Tails down for his link. Normally I wouldn't do that but I admit I clicked it, saw what was about to start and reacted. Feel free to rate him up for rickrolling me to balance it out.:wilt:

[Tails]

I don't mind it, I thought it was funny tbh.

[GaMeR_mAn_1]

It takes me to a page that says it has the collection , but wont actually ashow me the prizes.

P.S. At the risk of sounding ignorant...Rick roll?

[Dudebro]

Rick roll is where someone posts a fake link that leads to a Rick Astley song and people click on it and get ambushed, click the link in Tails post to see it. It's not anything bad it's just an annoying song and the video is funny. It gets old after seeing it many times for a few years though.

[GaMeR_mAn_1]

Hilarious. I forgot all about that song.

[Dudebro]

Hilarious. I forgot all about that song.
I wish I could. I even hear it in stores around where I live.:bad:

[Neutral]

Yes, I believe it is a joke.

[Winnebagel]

I don't care about the prizes, but I want to play Amiga games so bad (it probably is a joke), but I will guess NO! A THOUSAND TIMES NO!!! If there is even a chance that it's true, I...will...say...NO! :}

:worship::pray: May it be blessed Apeman. :worship::pray: May it be. Amen!

[Kugyince]

You're giving away DS games as prizes?

[jim5cents]

No

[DrunkN]

Yes.

Who's to say this whole contest isn't an April fools joke any how?

[Neutral]

Yes, I believe it is a joke.
... in the sense that this whole thread is one.

[DrunkN]

Well now I kind of figured that out the cruel way...

[Winnebagel]

Yes.

Who's to say this whole contest isn't an April fools joke any how?

It very well may be, but I can't take that chance. I need Amiga games.

[timh]

The answer is no. I'll take the Rick Astley video game...and some blue blockers as my prize.

[count100]

I vote on yes just because.

[Tails]

Well now I kind of figured that out the cruel way...

Tenser edited the link Kong originally had there.

[kiwinavega]

I vote yes out of blind hope and, if I am flukey enough to win a prize, put it back in to the pool for another person.

[bf191306]

yes

[zarny]

Yes

[StarfoxFan2009]

yes i believe it's a joke

[Kugyince]

Tenser edited the link Kong originally had there.
What?!?!?!

How could you accuse me after all the times I've went to bat for you!:curse:

[Tails]

Last edited by Tenser. :P

[Kugyince]

I was fixing a typo.

Besides, why do you have to stomp all over my parade?

[Tails]

Cuz DB stomped on mine. :(

[Kugyince]

So? I'm not DB.

I see how it is. I'll have to ask the wife to take the knife out of my back.

[AVGNJr1985]

Yes

[Dudebro]

@Tenser- at least you got like five hours for your prank, I shut Tails down in a matter of minutes.

[Tails]

So? I'm not DB.

I see how it is. I'll have to ask the wife to take the knife out of my back.That truly wasn't my intention Tenser. I'm very sorry I said anything. :(

[Kugyince]

Turncoat.

[DrunkN]

Oh Tails isn't that hard of a person to make guilty, or take advantage of I reckon.

[Kugyince]

Nah, but when you consistantly stand up for a guy and he turns around and takes a dump in your Cheerios it tends to tick you off, doesn't it?

[DrunkN]

Pffft. You just show him too much affection. The boy ain't right.

[Kong]

@Tenser- at least you got like five hours for your prank8

[Dudebro]

8
I said 5 because that's when Tails first blew the lid on the deception.

@DN- +1 I love me some King of the Hill.

[StarfoxFan2009]

Here's a quick question Kong:

How are you planning on letting the winners know ?

[david man45]

The answer would be announced after April 1st EST

[Bluej]

I say no. Due to I hope it is true. :pray:

[joz]

yes

[AVGNJr1985]

Man, The Amiga games I want to play is Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (The Action Game).

[Kong]

Contest is over. Read first post (http://retrouprising.com/contests/open-contests/amiga-april-fools-contest-prizes/t9068/#post116441) for update.

[StarfoxFan2009]

Congratulations to those who won

[AVGNJr1985]

Well I couldn't do it. But I love to play Amiga games.

[Tails]

Well Tenser, I'm not sure how else I can apologize. I don't like hurting friends at all, and I was just messing around, I had no idea you'd get mad. :(

[Dudebro]

Sorry Kong I'm an idiot, for some reason I thought the question was "will amiga be added this week". Not sure how I got that but it's the truth. Can I get half credit for that and the post where I said maybe? :lol:

[StarfoxFan2009]

oh well hopefully the next contest NBA Live 06 or NCAA will still be there...

[GaMeR_mAn_1]

I'm really glad the answer was No. AND not just because i said no. But i still cant see the list of prizes.

[Tails]

I think the Bagels just wet themselves.

[GaMeR_mAn_1]

I think the Bagels just wet themselves.

Bagels? I may be a noob cause I dont understand the reference


I figured it out.

[Dudebro]

I think the Bagels just wet themselves.
I just hope WB is ok, he might've fainted and hit his head or something.

[Kong]

Crap, and here I was hoping for the Star Wars 2 Lego for the GC. The wife has been bugging me for that game forever.. Oh well guess I will have to find it at gamestop or something like that :D

[Kugyince]

Well Tenser, I'm not sure how else I can apologize. I don't like hurting friends at all, and I was just messing around, I had no idea you'd get mad. :(
April Fools. :p

[Tails]

April Fools. :p
Thank god.

[Kugyince]

DB said you were sweatin' it hard. :D

[Tails]

DB was in this? :at-wits-end:

[GaMeR_mAn_1]

Oh Harsh April fools.
That was a good one though.
Reading it i couldnt tell it was a prank.

[Kugyince]

No, he just mentioned how you PM'd him about it in the Site Mod forum.

[Dudebro]

No, he just mentioned how you PM'd him about it in the Site Mod forum.
All kinds of backstabbing going on in this topic:lol: I only mentioned his PM because I wanted Tenser to be aware of how Tails was taking it. I didn't want to be a part of the joke but I wasn't going to sell Tenser out.

Reading the question right was the only challenge in the contest.
Translation = Fail.

[Kugyince]

It was entertaining though and if people think we don't discuss stuff like this in the private thread they're nuts.

Also Tails thinks he pissed you off in the Amiga topic Tenser. He sent me two PMs about it so it must've bothered him a lot.

I know. I got to get him back for stomping on my joke so I'm gonna let him stew in it for a bit. ;)

Tails is just worried about Tenser hating him.

@Tenser- Oh he's stewing alright.

[Dudebro]

It's not a big deal but I assumed it was a private conversation.

[Kugyince]

At least I removed all of the mean spirited and hurtful things you said about WB before I posted it.

[Dudebro]

I appreciate that, good looking out.

[Winnebagel]

I think the Bagels just wet themselves.

Yes. I think it's safe to say wet of some kind was definitely involved (I won't elaborate further). ;)

I just hope WB is ok, he might've fainted and hit his head or something.

What?!!! How did you know? I fainted and hit my head on the toilet seat. The one plus is that I just suddenly got this idea for something called a, "Flux Capacitor".

At least I removed all of the mean spirited and hurtful things you said about WB before I posted it.

Thanks retroactively buddy. I missed this topic for a few hours and missed all the fun. I guess I will never know what mean things were said. :nailbiting:

[Tails]

+1 I LOVE BTTF Bagel.

[Winnebagel]

+1 I LOVE BTTF Bagel.

Me too. It's a classic.

[CatalystiCam]

+1 BTTF reference also.

[DrunkN]

OH!

I thought that yes meant that Amiga was coming.

Boo, I could have had a chance to reject a prize!

[Dudebro]

Thanks retroactively buddy. I missed this topic for a few hours and missed all the fun. I guess I will never know what mean things were said. :nailbiting:
Listen genius, if you read and understood Tensers post he said we discussed you in the site mods section, not here. Jeez, this is why we bad mouth you.:teeth:

[Winnebagel]

Listen genius, if you read and understood Tenser's post, he said we discussed you in the site mods section, not here. Jeez, this is why we bad mouth you.:teeth:

Ahhh, so when he removed the hurtful words it was there? Aha! That would explain it then.

Feel free. Talk away. Sticks and stones and all that... :p

[Dudebro]

Well actually it was sabby talking all the trash, Tenser and I are just covering for him.

[Winnebagel]

Well actually it was sabby talking all the trash, Tenser and I are just covering for him.

That Sabby. He always seemed like such a nice guy too. You know what they say about the quiet ones. :(

[Kong]

There has been some confusion in the PMs about the prizes.
You can pick one DVD or Game from the link in the first post.
PLUS if you have a Wii you can also pick one NFL face plate. The face plate is a small bonus prize not an alternative prize.

I said earlier that I was about 90% sure that Amiga would be added this week. Now I am about 99% sure that about 1,500 Amiga games will be added this week and 900 more will be added after AOX2 is released. The second batch is the larger multi-disk games.

sweet! :)

[Kong]

Over 1600 Amiga games were just added.
Retro Uprising - Arcade (http://retrouprising.com/game-menu/amiga/)
There are still some bugs to be worked out. Several games will not work right now and many need instructions to know how to start but the kinks should be worked out over the next couple weeks.

This means the people that said "no, it is not a joke" win.

What about the people who thought they were saying that? :wilt:

[GaMeR_mAn_1]

Awesome. Especially the amiga games part

[Slime Slayer]

Awsome, I cant wait to try out some of these... someday. I do think that my answer of maybe should be the winner.

[CatalystiCam]

Sweet! One question though, just if you can get "Theme Park" in the near future. I'm in no rush to try it but I would like to see where the original version started, those platforms being Amiga & DOS. Yeah, I'm big on this game, played almost every port :p

[david man45]

Any chance they will be score enabled soon?

[Kong]

Theme Park is multi disk and will be added later.

Good chance that a very small portion will be score enabled soon.

[CatalystiCam]

okay, thanks

[Seahawk]

I've never played any Amiga games before, can anyone suggest some to get an Amiga newbie started =)?

Kong, maybe you just haven't gotten around to it yet, but you should add an Amiga filter to the Game Menu. Although, you're going to need some more room in the 'Other' category.....

[CatalystiCam]

don't worry, I'm sure they'll be enough score games for Seahawk, WB, Dojah and davidman all to have 250 scores each some day :p

[Seahawk]

Maybe....I've been real busy lately so my trophy count has gone way down, I'll get it back in the summer though =).

Does Amiga have good shooting games?

*Addendum: repsonse to Kong's post below me*

Okey dokey.

Seahawk, you've taken your first step into a larger world. Congratulations to you my friend. :)

My siblings and I owned an Amiga for years, and there are many many awesome titles. Here are some I would recommend based on quickly perusing the game list. I'm sure there are many more gems that I haven't even played yet, but will be amazing!:

- Amiga Karate

- Barbarian

- Battle Chess

- Better Dead Than Alien

- Black Cauldron

- Borrowed Time

- Deja Vu (I & II)

- Emerald Mine

- Faery Tale Adventure (the real version not the Genesis poo one.)

- Hardball

- Heroquest

- Indiana Jones And The Fate of Atlantis

- Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade

- Indiana Jones And The Temple of Doom

- King's Quest (any)

- Live and Let Die

- Mind Walker

- Mouse Trap

- Ninja Mission

- Ninja Spirit

- Obliterator

- One on One (Jordan vs Bird)

- Police Quest

- Ports of Call

- Road Raider (Mad Max type game, with the character saying, "aha!" over and over)

- Shadowgate

- Shanghai

- Sidewinder

- SimCity

- Space Quest (any)

- Speedball

- Spy vs Spy

- Summer Games

- Turrican (any)

- Ultima

- Uninvited

- Wanted

- Winter Games

- World Games (Gotta love that Caber Toss)

- Zany Golf

- Zork (any)


Keep in mind many of these need to be modded before they can be played, but they are all titles I personally like.

[tanc24]

- Indiana Jones And The Fate of Atlantis

- Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade




I would mod these two titles right now, but I'm still confused about how to do it.
These games aren't working properly, but I look forward to when they do!

Fate of Atlantis starts up and then has a software failure. Last Crusade starts up but the graphical errors render the game unplayable.

@WB - I used to throw a mean Caber Toss back in the day. I had World Games on an Apple system and it was a blast. Cliff Diving was a fun event, too.

[CatalystiCam]

Sim city!? :D

Any good racing games or platformer/adventures WB?

[david man45]

Any fun RPG/shooters? Like The Chaos Engine, Forgotten worlds?

Aw man I love Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade game. :(

[Kong]

Aw man I love Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade game. :(Things like this should be fixed soon. Still ironing out many bugs.

[tanc24]

Fate of Atlantis is now working. It is the Action game, not the scumm version. Same with Last Crusade. That is the Action version as well. I haven't fixed Last Crusade, but out of personal bias I probably will soon.

I was hoping for the scumm versions of these games, but they required multiple disks. These will hopefully be added when Kong brings in AOX2. LucasArts games are the best!

[Kong]

I will wait a couple more days to get prize requests PMs from everyone and then I will send out the prizes to the people that have sent the PM.

Thread closed. See this thread for the progress of fixing all Amiga games http://retrouprising.com/video-games/ru-games/amiga-game-status/t9170/
