Can't get enough Futurama
In Color

Guess the Frame!

Think you know Futurama? See how well you do by guessing which screen shot is from which episode. Are you good enough to get into the Hall of Fame?
Play the CGEF Frame Guessing Game!

If you find errors, tell in the comments. I found two which I will fix later

really funny game... but... when I was playing the game lost the connection and told me I waited more than 15 minutes.... :( it happened only 1 time

cool game. although i couldnt answer one question correct since the right answer was missing.
a picture of the titanic being sucked into the black hole should've answered "a flight to remember" but alas, that answer was not in the list :/

oopsie :)
that frame also appeared in "amazon women in the mood" so i guess i screwed up, forget i even brought it up :D

"really funny game... but... when I was playing the game lost the connection and told me I waited more than 15 minutes.... :( it happened only 1 time"

that's one of the two problems I found. I added some more info to the error message and hope to find the problem soon.

When I played it the Game Over Donkey Kong frame
was the picture and Space Pilot 3000 wasn't among the 5 other choices. I had 2 lives left, so I couldn't have gotten a game over. When I chose one of the other ones, it hat that 15 minute connection error mentioned earlier.

heheh i got a pic of the planet express building in one... guessed and got it right hehe

There is also a pic of the intro that is in EVERY episode please try to remove those pics from the game.

I removed some more of the pictures that appear close to the beginning (intro), but I can't exclude single pictures that easily. They are chosen from a base of about 12,500 pictures and I'd be rather busy to look at them all ;)

Still no clue where the "15 minutes timeout" happens (probably sync problem which is hard to debug), but I think the "Game Over Donkey Kong" frame appeared in more than one episode. I'm rather sure that the correct answer is always among the displayed ones.

ignore the "in two episodes". It's the same error as the "15 minutes time out" when that screen appears. I used that as a default to see if there is an error while debugging. Still looking into that thing. If it won't work, I will recode it some later on the week.

You loose a life if you forget to check off one of the options before hitting "guess". Shouldn't it bring you back to the picture and make you check off one of the options (of course still within the original time frame).

Not an error, just a sugestion.

What are you? Gay?

Seriously though, not picking an answer is moronic enough to warrant a loss of life ;)

The game seems more popular than I though. 16,000 guessed frames within the first 7 hours it was online.

Cool game...

Ok i Tried, but got no further than 3 points...is this because i'm dumb?
[-mArc-]Jun 22nd 2002, 00:00
I think I got the errors out now. If you still see double answers (two or more times the same name as options) or get the "couldn't find your game" thing, tell me.

And sheesh, which freak did 121 and then didn't use a recognizable name?? I'm only on rank #8 ...

Have fun

the difficulty level of guessing the right episode doesn't raise by going ahead in the game - the images appear randomly, so you can get many difficult framegrabs at the start as at every point of the game. The guy who scored 121 probably was very lucky :P
It happened also for me: I scored over 90, then I had three consecutive framgrabs too difficult to guess...
[-mArc-]Jun 22nd 2002, 00:00
I can't really think of other ways to make it harder along the game than adding options (8 is max, so the tough part isnt reading the names) and reducing the time left to respond (20 seconds minimum so modem users stand a chance). "Too difficult to guess" is just an excuse though :P If by nothing else, you can try guessing by the quality of the framegrab ;) (reminds me, we need to redo the "My three suns" at some point)

Great game, you should drop the frames of plaent express building and intro, quite annoying there,
but still I see I have a lot to learn on Futurama
WoHaJun 22nd 2002, 00:00
Just tried the game, and I liked it!! Though I don't see the problem with getting more options later in the game, the only challenge is to be able to read through them all in 20 secs;)

but there are a couple of pics that are VERY hard to figure out, especially ones with only the PE ship or the PE building.. but I still managed to get quite a decent score for trying it the for the first time I think ;) /me proud=)

MasterLukeJun 23rd 2002, 00:00
how can you score >200 points?
that
[-mArc-]Jun 24th 2002, 00:00
refreshing the first one will always start a new game (refreshing a later one will cost you a life).

The time doesn't go down below 20 seconds, but yeah >200 points is a lot ... If i find the time I will do a similar other game soon.
