Okay, at a glance, I thought Father Fouras was being held at gun point in the thumbnail... but no, it's just a shelf x)

Man, I used to play this game so much as a kid! Our local version of the TV show here in Sweden was destination viewing every week for my family in the 90’s (as it was for a quarter of the Swedish population at its peak popularity). So when my dad got the game for his PC, I played it all the time whenever I’d visit him (as well as the Tintin game another runner ran this GDQ; the ultimate 90’s kid Euro gaming experience!)

In Canada we had the french version (the participants where artists and comedians). The setting of the prison was just something else. And whoever played the old wise man must have had fun!!

@CrossfacePanda 6 ай бұрын

@@monstery8372I can imagine playing as the ”father of the fort” has to be a really fun job as an actor. I remember being really confused as a kid that the old man in the game wasn’t the same one we had on our version of the show, but now as an adult i think it’s pretty cool that different countries all had their own local old man they associate with the show from their childhood.

Wish I had seen this live, I would have donated just for you to say that here in Quebec (Canada) we had a version of it with quebec celebrities for 8 years. It was a big game show when I was young. Did not know there was video game. Thanks to show the world. :)

As someone from the UK, I have very fond memories of both Fort Boyard and The Crystal Maze, so it’s great to see this playthrough! I’m a relative newbie to GBQ, but have been following it / AGDQ / Frame Fatales for quite a few years now - you do an awesome job each year! I believe some footage of Richard O’Brien hosting the pilot of Fort Boyard surfaced online recently, which (as shared during the playthrough) lead to The Crystal Maze being born, because the Fort wouldn’t be available for filming as it was being renovated in 1989. With the donation at 22:40, I can’t help but wonder if the: “significantly more former TV soap stars mocking the contestants” is referencing the UK Boyard, the late Leslie Grantham who appeared as the character “Dirty” Den Watts, in the UK soap EastEnders between 1985 to 1989 and revived his role in 2003-2005. He co-presented with glamour model Melinda Messenger, for the UK broadcaster, Channel 5, between 1998 to 2001. Good job TBCR on the playthrough - especially with the dreaded Rat Maze! 👍

Ok I remember a game show on like the sci-fi channel from the 90’s. It was a quiz show and when a contestant lost they would vanish in a flash of light from the stage. The host was always facing away from the camera so you couldn’t see his face. It was spooky when I was a kid. Can’t remember what it was called but this reminded of it!

I was trying to find the actual answer to the first riddle. Twitch chat thinks it might be chessboard, bishop, newspaper, or crossword. I feel like Ouija board might fit, but that seems a little specific. It might just not be a very good riddle...

I think it's "Magic" black magic and white magic are 2 different things magic charms is a things to be wary of For most magic is just fun and game (prestidigitation aka show magic) But some see it has real and evil (witch trials etc...) That's the only word I found that match all 4 verses

White and black are not the same Of its charms one must beware Its wonders and wants to most are games To others it’s the devil’s fare Ummm I have no idea, I don’t even know if I have the clue right... Maybe the truffle? Second enigma was much easier. I love these baffling, weird riddles; they melt my brain.

@HighscorebreakerJoe 6 ай бұрын

I'm curious about Father Fouras' first riddle in 4:40. Does anyone of you have solution for it? Sadly I am not entirely sure if I understood the riddle correctly. What I understood was: "White and black are not the same. Of its charms one must beware. It wanders and runs to most of our games. To others it's the devil's fair." It may have something to do with chess? ⸱ "white and black are not the same" → chess board and pieces ⸱ "of it charms one must beware" → maybe be related to the king, which is the main target of every chess game ⸱ "It wanders and run to most of our games" → chess pieces "wander and run" by being moved by the player. I am just not sure what it has to do with "OUR" games. Does chess play a huge role in Fort Boyard? ⸱ "to others it's the devil's fair" → may be related to sacrificing chess pieces for strategiv reasons So the solution may be one of the chess pieces like the pawn since it can be sacrificed most of the times in a chess game. What do you think?

@calemr 3 ай бұрын

Wandering and running suggests a piece that can move a lot, to me. Charms might suggest female, so queen?

Answered on another post but i think the answer is "Magic"
