Wait a second :lol:

I was arguing that I won the point legitimately because I got the question right. I answered the question as it was asked, and I got the answer right. It is false that the Atari 3DO retailed at that starting price point, because the Atari 3DO didn't retail at all.

Does that make sense?


Hmm, surely in this sense, the question did... kind of... measure gaming knowledge? Dan used knowledge behind it, and got the question right?

What does Dala think? Does he want the question to stand? Would it have changed his answer?

It makes sense, but it also mean the question was completely misconstrued.

For this to be fair, I have to ask another question - but really I am damned if I do, damned if I don't.

Play the Atari question again.

I've had plenty of second chances.

Right guys - you need to decide if the question should be re-asked or not. If there is no decision I will continue re-asking the question.

That would only be correct if DML said that the answer was "False, the Atari 3DO never existed". He said "False, it was $699, not $399.99".

It was still technically false though, regardless of the reason for it. I think Dala and Dan should decide between them what happens. Maybe have that tile as a black one?

Continue as it was. You made an honest mistake and there's too much riding on it if you do go back. Do not give StayDead the satisfaction, because that's all he's after anyway

Dan would be blocked off in that situation wouldn't he?

Ok here we go - the ATARI QUESTION AGAIN. A NEW ONE.

If Dala gets this first - he is the GAMES GURU 2013.

Good luck gents.

Why not turn the tile black?

Dan loses one square in his path and has to start a new one, Dala loses the instant-win advantage of the one question?

EDIT - Wait, that doesn't work.

Q. Mario Bros was released on the Atari 2600 - True or False?

Quite ironic, if the final GGGC question/title is this one...

Yes. So ignore what I said.

I really don't know the fairest solution, but if Dan's happy to replay the question then that's cool. GL guys.
