Nothing1979: Was thinking Ultima Underworld from the second I saw the video. Also, the colors of the GOG banner match the Ultima Underworld 2 box art. Do Atari own the rights to it though? Can't find it on the mobygames site. :D
EA owns the rights to Origins (the Ultima folks), and I originally thought that the games to be released were the OSI games. OSI has a game for every one of the clues given, after all.

THEN they announced that those clues were all for Atari games, making that theory deader than a sail cat. Chances are good that EA is coming soon to GOG.com, but we should be looking at Atari titles to fill in the blanks.

Andy_Panthro: Although looking at the blurry background, perhaps Star Control 2 fits?

CALLED IT!

I'd make suggestions for the next one, but it seems like a lot of people have said Desperados, and that seems like a very accurate suggestion.

The pink one seems to be next, with Desperados next week. I forget which clue the pink one was... fear your past?

Well, according to your list on the first page, "ride with the outlaws" is next. Except that list doesn't seem to be in the right order... does it?

I don't suppose anyone has screenshots of the blurry backgrounds for the rest of the clues?

That list in full:

What game made you dream of the stars? Star Control 1+2
What game made you ride with the outlaws? Desperados?
What game made you fear your past?
What game made you go to the underground?
What game made you feel like a hero?
What game made monsters afraid of you? The Witcher
What game made you afraid of dark? Alone in the Dark 1+2+3
I think that thing about past could be: Pilgrim:Faith as weapon.
Here is the cover.What do you think?

I also started thinking of Diggles: the Myth of Fenris as that with underground.

The part of hero could be Drakkhen or Soulbringer.

lotr-sam0711 kindly posted the blurred cover links on the second page of this thread. Here they are again, for ease-of-use:

Diggles is a good guess, it would suit the Underworld theme. But it doesn't seem to fit with the blurred cover. Hm ...

If it wasn't for the totally diffent cover, the "Hero" one could have been "Silver". :(

"What Game Made You Ride With The Outlaws" could easily be Ratbag's "World of Outlaws: Sprint Cars", which is one of their Dirt Track Racing titles. I was always more partial to Powerslide and Leadfoot myself, but the DTR games were also highly regarded by fans. If so, the font would just be a nice piece of misdirection.

No. It's obviously Desperados. Take a look at the and the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desperados:_Wanted_Dead_or_Alive]cover.

Yeah, that one is pretty much solved.

I thought fear your past was Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy, but the covers don't really match.

But then it's a dead ringer for the Ray Bradbury book cover. But it's probably not that though, no.
"Official"? So GOG sanctions this guessing thread?

I have paperwork and everything.

It might just be a guessing thread for the official Atari releases (where official is redundant, as GOG wouldn't release anything unofficially, as far as I know). About as sanctioned as the official unofficial Minecraft server thread.

I think that light blue background is similar, that orange could be part of ear or hand.
We don't know much they cut original image.

I know, I was just having a bit of fun.
