Halloween Challenge #2 - Links & Rhymes

[LadyKestrel]

Poor Mr. Skully wouldn’t do very well with this double challenge, but I’m sure you Manorites will shine like a brightly lit jack-o’-lantern with your answers. Here are the rules:

Part 1 - Links
There are 17 incomplete game titles in the list, and your task is to complete them. The last 2 letters of a title will be the starting 2 letters of the next title in the list, and the last 2 letters of #17 will begin the #1 title. Each correct title is worth 5 points. You may guess as many times as you want, but you’ll earn a bonus 3 points if you get all 17 answers correct at once.

Please note that the titles may not have their subtitles or the articles “the” or “a.” There are also no spaces between multiple words in a title.

Part 2 - Rhymes
Poor Mr. Skully was listening to a list of 17 game titles (A-Q), but because he doesn’t hear very well, he wrote them down incorrectly. They rhyme with real game titles. Can you figure out what games he should have been hearing? Each correct title is worth 5 points. You get 2 guesses for this section. A wrong answer will cost you 1 point.

Please send your answers to me via PM by 10:00 PM on Saturday, October 17. Enjoy your linking and rhyming!

Edited for score correction.

Because of the multiple ties in this two-part quiz, we will have a drawing for this week's winner instead of a runoff. We'll let you know who won in an hour or so.

[LadyKestrel]

The winner of this week's prize is Lucien21! Congratulations, Lucien! Let me know what game you pick.

[Lucien21]

[LadyKestrel]

Heh. Your name was picked fair and square. I'll send you a PM.

[Ghostlady]

Pick a good one, Lucien!

[DarkEye]

congratulations, Lucien21!

[chrissie]

Ditto - congratulations Lucien21!

[Phlebas]

I do like a good puzzly one. Congratulations, Lucien21!

[LadyKestrel]

Lucien has chosen A Monster's Expedition from Steam. Check your PM, Lucien.

[Phlebas]

Ooh, a fine choice - I've been playing A Good Snowman Is Hard To Build recently (on my phone!) and enjoying it immensely, and it sounds as though that's pretty much a sequel. Enjoy!

[LadyKestrel]

It looks like a fun one to play.
