Gabriel Knight - Where Am I From? Screen Capture Game.
Because the original Sierra Screen Shot Game has exceeded 200 pages; I spoke with Collector and thought it would be fun to create individual "game" themed screen shot games. This would also allow people who are more familiar with specific games to feel more comfortable trying to guess the screen shots.
So the idea of the game is, you post a cropped screen shot from one of the games for this section of the forum (in this case, GABRIEL KNIGHT). Everyone's entitled to guess; and gets one guess only, until they're told that they're wrong or correct. The correct guess allows that person who guessed correctly to post their cropped screen shot for others to guess.
But because this version limits it to the games; it would go too quick trying to guess which game it's from. Instead, there's two alternate ways to guess the cropped screen shot being shown. You can either 1. Post the full screen as your guess (from which the screen capture is coming from, which is usually a sure win, if you got the right screen). Or 2. You can write down a text explanation of the screen shot's location. (For example, you might say, "That cropped screen shot is from GAME01, it's the scene where the CHARACTER'S HOUSE is on fire." or something like, "That's GAME01, where the INVENTORY ITEM is picked up from." Something that shows you know - or think you know! - where that screen crop shot is from). NOTE: if you post a screen shot answer, you do not need to say which game it's from. However, if you're answering by text (no screen shot), then you will have to guess the game and the location of the screenshot.

Re: Gabriel Knight - Where Am I From? Screen Capture Game.
It sounds a bit troublesome since GK has only three games, and those three all look so immensely different you could never mix up graphics among them.

Re: Gabriel Knight - Where Am I From? Screen Capture Game.
That's why it's about guessing the specific screen shot - not just which game it is. So yeah, all three are very different in GK, so you're going to be able to tell if it's GK1, GK2 or GK3, but the new rules is to guess the specific screen that the screen shot is coming from - not the specific game.
And yes, Rudy, you are (obviously!) correct! Your turn!

Well, was that too easy?
One of my favorite quotes of the game.

You know I just played it again to check up on those lines you found... 
New one, see if you can guess it...

Re: Gabriel Knight - Where Am I From? Screen Capture Game.
Are they by any chance the stones above the fireplace from GK2?
[offtopic]Great! was it fruitful? Did Grace say that line about Mosely? Were you able to block the revolution conversation? Oh, and the Asmodeus / lightbulb quote, did that pop up if you didn't look at the chessboard?
