Ok, the Heroes of Steamgift.com are masters of point & click, text parser and know images.google.com..... :-)
The pictures in our next puzzle are (mostly) hand drawn....it´s a kind of google-debuff (muahahahahah)
On the other hand, even if you don't know those adventures, you can solve the puzzle.
As usual there is a link to a nice adventure-GA

I'm not sure it's a matter of intelligence. The difficulty comes from the pictures being indecipherable and some of the answers being "off" in one way or another. (Q1 is misnamed and misspelled, for example.)

Ok, some Hints.
As you all know the solutions are Adventuregame-Names. You might be able to find the right name, even if you recognize only one part of the picture. ( also for pics 4,6,7)
The build in hints for 6 & 7 should help.

5 is so easy .... write down what you see on a paper , recognize that "-" is the opposite of "+" :-)

4 the build in hint is spoiling....what a shame :-)

Haha, got 7. Thought that guy looked like XYZ, but I've been thinking you're American/English and, thus, it could not be him :D

Edit: I don't get your hint on Q6.

even if someone does not know him, the hint in the puzzle, good eyes and google would help....anyway he is not needed at all if you have identified the other parts of the picture to solve this one :-)

this kind of puzzles require some flexibility

Onk, I've been solving this kind of puzzle for 35 years. My impression is that you are not familiar with the rules the puzzle-maker is supposed to follow.

So you should know, there is not the one and only kind of rebus, they work with same sounds of words, reduction of words, kryptic hints. they are all, but not math...if you disagree maybe I make the wrong puzzles for you....but anyway you solved 6 of 7

"On the other hand, even if you don't know those adventures, you can solve the puzzle" // No, you can't. Trust me ;)

Still no idea what's "a guy (soldier?) dreaming about a helicopter(?) - rotten strawberry + some sorta steam engine-or-something" supposed to mean O.o

And why isn't the last one Underrail? WTH is up with that guy on the picture O.o

for number one, remember you don´t need any special chars ...no ' `- ,: or whatever and keep it simple, if it´s a adventure series (spoiler) just type in that without any additional subtitle. But ok I have added possible solutions.

number 5....ok the first on this picture is not a hat, than follows a "-" and than you should see a number....hmm what could this mean....and to the end we see a sword? a spaceship? what could it be?

Got the first three, but can't get 4-7. :p I thought I recognized 6, but my answer's wrong, so I guess not. Oh well. Thanks for the puzzle.

Focus on the first part of Q4 with the clue you are given.

Also, if you can get the first part of Q7 right, that will lead you to the rest of it.

Thanks, but that's kind of what I've been trying to do: figure out a part, then search for the answer based on that. Problem is I may not be familiar enough with the games to get them. I have a few options for possible partial answers, and I can't seem to search out the right answer based on those yet. Built-in hints haven't shown up yet though, so maybe I'll try to get those last two once they do appear.

Edit: Web searched some more and finally got it. Not a game I recognize, but if you can get part of it right, searching can turn up the answer.

So the GA is finished and here is the Solution.

I already got some feedback, some enjoyed it others less or not at all.

Sorry to all that did not manage to solve it, cause
it was to hard, to cryptic, the pictures had not a unique meaning, or whaterver.
Of course you are welcome to give me even more feedback.

Anyway the next puzzles will include a kind of disclaimer/explanation how
my puzzles work, I also will kill the word rebus, to avoid specific expectations.
And if I use uncommon persons I will give an alternative solution after a while.
That might reduce confusion.

Draft:

Picturepuzzle

Each combination of pictures represents a [whatever the puzzle is about].
The pictures just lead you/give you hints.

They don't necessarily give you the solution itself by a maths like combination of pictures.

Open your mind. That means spelling and other things could be different. Sample: Don't expect me to draw trees if I search for a forest.
I would draw tom hanks running away and someone shouts "run run".

If you see a minus "-" that means the following part reduces /changes the part in front of it in
any way....don't try maths.
Keep your answers simple:
I try to include many possibles answers but mostly I also will
include an alternative version without special chars like '`-.: and sometimes even without articles.
If you think your solutions is right but not accepted, try the simple one.

If you have no clue at all, try the common game list, name list, film list, whatever lists of sites....cause
you will need them, the pictures are more a less a way to the solution, not the solution.

Would you suggest me any more description?
And so most important question any adventure wishes for next GAs?

I liked your formula with these picture puzzles a lot! Didn't find it unfair at all and very enjoyable. Only thing was Sky du Mont is (afaik) only known well in Germany (good for me I guess :D) so that could have been hard for others. The rest of the pictures were really good, no need for additional descriptions in my opinion. Keep up the good work :) !

i could not resist the "sky du mont" picture. on the other hand I with the collar hint and his surname, he is the first result in google picture search ( no matter if de or us-search)
And anyway if you have the first part of the picture you can easily guess the game without him :-)
