No correct guesses yet.

Mandle, both 'Summer' and 'Games' are in the title.

CaptainD, it's one of those games, but not named after a sporting celebrity.

Yay! I got it! I liked it, but it felt a bit tired after the first 63.

Hmmm... I'm thinking if we can't raise paricipation levels for every month, perhaps raising them for a single month would be a good start. Could we hype up December or January (months close to holidays) as "MAGS-a-palooza" or "MAGS-stock"? Get people to pre-register and publicise it months in advance.

It's a bit radical, but what if we only judged games once a year (Maggies)? A bit like the IF Comp, but still with monthly deadlines. It would give every game a chance to compete against a reasonably-sized pool of games. TBH, I'm not a big fan as this doesn't really grow MAGS but manages its decline.

You could enforce shortness via the theme. One Room, One Week could be applied to MAGS as a rule for a few months -- one room, one month.

Prizes are good, but nobody wants to fund MAGS prizes, obviously. Maybe we could award a gold star in someone's username area each time they win a MAGS. Of course, if some generous patron wants to donate prize money, that would work too.

I know this isn't riddle C&C, but I think that would work better if it were the opposite.

What's a five-letter word that becomes shorter when you add 'e' and 'r' to it?

Or perhaps someone can think of a better alternative. I'm suggesting it because it defies expectations (how can a word become shorter when you add letters to it?)

Curtains.

Oh, I'm pretty sure this is a Level9 or Magnetic Scrolls game.
I'm going to guess from that last picture, Alice in Wonderland?

Bones

It's Liero, Atavismus got it!

Hurrah!

Is this that joke my dad made where he'd be like "go outside and play"?

Jill of the Jungle?

Welcome Back Kotter

Yes, that's correct, Stupot! Your turn!

Not Skins

Here's another screenshot:



Oh, and a clue: this is a British sitcom, following the IT Crowd theme .

Wing Commander?

Yayyy! Here's a new one:

The IT Crowd?

Not sure about the episode. Jen orders a coffee and the barista is rather sexual about its delivery

The third picture is the first time Max meets 99, isn't it?

I believe it is, yep.

Nice subtle hinting there...

Thanks, Mandle! Next reply was going to be 'missed it by THAT much'.



I have no guess as to what this current screenshot is.

Yes, you're absolutely right! By the way, each screenshot posted featured at least one of the two main characters (86 or 99). I just took shots where they were obscured because had I included stuff like this, it would've been a little too easy:



Anyway, good sleuthing, lorenzo! And some trivia to boot! Your turn.
