I did some soul searching and came up with this tricky NES question. Not too sure about the Sega Genesis version, so we shall go with the NES version...

Today's body part is: BioKraze's Sternum (Makes for a pretty Goth charm!)
Today's question is: In the NES game Toki, what is the name of the creature who captured Toki's beloved? (Bonus points if you know the name of the girl, and 3 Flaming Poptarts if you can name the shaman who cursed Toki!)

Get to guessing! You never know what will be next!

You played Maniac Mansion? Coolness in 31 flavours of awesomesauce!

No, but he played UFO: Enemy Unknown. That counts for something in my book. But if he wants to make a good guess at what the answers are, he's welcome to.

And you all have two days to answer the question, so get cracking!

We have a winner! Congratulations on winning your first BioKraze body part, Dyepez! You also get 10 bonus Internets and for guessing the other two!

For the curious, the answers are:
For the body part: Bashtar
For the Internets: Miho
For the Poptarts: Vookimedlo

The Final Question will now appear three body parts from now. So keep your eyes peeled for the next question!

Review the entire thread to see what I've parted out!

Drain the pool, then let it refill while one of them is standing in it.

Make the pool water radioactive.

I don't remember the third one. 

Edit: OH OH!  Feed it to the carnivorous plant, then get the kids too close!

One and done, satyr. You got the first one right, but the others don't work like that. Sorry! At least you get my sacrum, and that counts for something, though.

For the curious, the answers are:
For the body part: Drown the kids by refilling the empty pool.

Woot!

For the Internets: Microwave the pool water...radioactive steam!

Wow, I didn't know about that one!  That game is just full of Easter eggs.

For the Poptarts: Leave the pool drained too long, and the Mansion's reactor blows up the place!

I knew that one, but it doesn't use the pool water. 

Ohhh!  I admit it, I never actually tried that, so I didn't know the justification.  I thought "the reactor explodes if you leave the pool drained too long" was just one of those weird illogical Maniac Mansion things, like "the mummy moves if you turn the shower on."

Awww!  Play the game!  You're depriving yourself of a really good time, old-school.  I say old-school because quite apart from the Quest for Glory-style graphics and point-and-click interface, Maniac Mansion was made before they discovered some fundamental principles of video game design, like "it should never be possible to lose a game and not know it."  Have a walkthrough handy.

A wee bit off topic here, but I completely agree! Old DOS adventure games are too amazing for words, they're just so much fun. But putting 20-30 hours into a game and never realizing that, no, you shouldn't have killed that villager, is aggravating.

"Day of the Tentacle" is really great if you like point-and-click with a little bit of structure. It's quite amusing, too.

I've played both Shadowgate and Shadowrun, both at least 100 years ago though. Here goes nothing...

If I remember correctly, that particular book gives you a clue where to put the "bladed sun" item to open the way forward later on in the game. Oh, you need to use the glasses or you can't read the book. As for the last question, it's scroll #1 that talks about the Staff of Ages. I think that's it, but I have a feeling I may be completely wrong about one of them.

Okay, I'm giving in to mental pressure and posting the penultimate question early. It's another Shadowgate question, so be prepared, my forum peeps!

Today's body part is: BioKraze's Corneas (Worn but serviceable goods!)
Today's question is: How do you assemble the Staff of Ages? (Bonus points if you know who to use it on, and 3 Flaming Poptarts if you know which item is needed to obtain the Staff item!)

Get to guessing! You never know what will be next!

Awesome! You definitely know your Shadowgate, OnionPrince! You now have my corneas, 30 bonus Internets and !

For the curious ones, the answers I scribed are:
For the body part: USE the Blade on the Staff, then USE the Orb on the Staff.
For the Internets: Use the Staff on the Behemoth, not the Warlock Lord!
For the Poptarts: The Wand, found in the castle balcony area.

The Final Question is up next! Can't you feel the tingling? So keep your eyes peeled with hopeful anticipation!
