Can you guess what happened?.

Clues

1. It all started with Jesus.
2. They were Atari Raiders.
3. It had a Dark Wheel.
4. It wasn't the final frontier.

Try this one:

It had 16K RAM and 48K RAM.
The company tried to do an Apple but it was really more of an Orange.
It soon went into the Atmosphere.

Oh it's a game thread

Maybe worthwhile expanding this thread and adding the words "forum game"? i'm sure foxy will amend the thread title for you if you ask him nicely.

About time we had another decent forum game here, i'm up for this, especially if you can broaden the content to cover all retro gaming stuff (consoles, computers and video games), my running thread only covers video games.

It's also about time someone else ran a leader board for correct answers too, please consider editing it and adding one to your first post.

Patrick Moore did the voice-over on the into to The Kristal. The second picture is a crystal.

The third picture is from Band of Brothers, is there a Kristal link there?

YouTube - dexter's labyrinth

No, not this one.

*Haggler* · 19-05-2009, 8:59 AM

Hope you don't mind but i'll chip in with a fresh clue while we ponder yours, it's still pretty easy, though i snipped out a chunk and knocked it out of focus slightly.

To what do i belong?

I don't present to you a game, that was their job

The Snake · 19-05-2009, 12:07 PM

I wish i'd never started this

, i'm fast running out of cryptic clues.

Right here goes, 27th or so clue

.....

The second person went to war with this person:

Leaving the first behind and making way for this person:

But no shots were fired, except in the games!.

*Haggler* · 19-05-2009, 12:07 PM

This is getting confusing for my small brain

, am i right in thinking that there are still two running clues, one of which has 3 images and another separate one which has 2 images? also is the youtube link a further clue to one of the two or another totally separate clue?.

Updating the thread with what has still to be guessed along with any further clues you added since would help now i think and may provoke a bit more response, i'm off out soon so hopefully someone intelligent will have guessed these by the time i return.

Tell me about it, the Sir Allan Sugar post is seperate one, all these clues relate to the diamond/sky at night post/Clue.

I'll come to the Sir Allan Sugar clues, when i've got over this mammoth task, probably in a year or so.
