I did that on purpose. I'd rather play Area 51 than Alone In The Dark.

The suspense is killing me!

Hoping for 3d Realms, so will go with that one :D

My bet is Take2.

I'm going to keep flogging this dead horse & stay with Lucasarts. If I keep it up each time one of these things happen, I'll be right eventually.

Meh, I&m just going to say Rockstar in the crazy hope that I'll finally be able to buy some of their games online for once. But then, seeing as they love to regionally restrict the sale of their games, I know I'm not right =P.

Lucasarts. That would be way beyond awesome.

３d　Realmｓ

I'm going with Apogee as well.

Apogee Software / 3D Realms
- shooters (Apogee fits for publishing many FPS such as Duke Nukem 3D and Rise of the Triad: Dark War, aka ROTT)
- when it's hot, I like to take a dip (developers of ROTT referred to themselves as "The Developers of Incredible Power.")
- hungry like a wolf (ROTT was developed on a heavily modified Wolfenstein 3D engine and of course Apogee published Wolfenstein 3D itself)
- Aim for the STARS (Stargunner was published by Apogee)
- we've got a bleeder (Achievement in ROTT for using all the healing items known as "Bleeder Bonus")
- gibs galore (ROTT, one of the earlier games to feature gibs, along with Duke Nukem 3D)
-Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today. (refrence to Doom originally having supposed to be pubished by Apogee, but after a discussion id Software decided Apogee would no longer publish any of their games.)
- PUMP UP THE JAM (Blake Stone games were developed by "JAM Productions" and published by Apogee)
-On the weekends I get drunk and play Rock Banned (Duke Nukem 3D was published by Apogee and banned in Brazil.)
-battle the evil flame of metal ("Nasty Metallic Enforcer," a boss from ROTT that fires multiple heat-seeking missles and projectiles.)
Not to mention, shortly after the contest was announced GOG updated it to allow more people to have a chance after Apogee was guessed 5 times. Vandal's post came soon after two of the last five Apogee guesses were posted, likely after realizing their contest was over as they were still coming up with more clues. 8D
Some info stolen from an earlier post by TheCombine and can be found/verified on Wiki, mostly from and [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rise_of_the_Triad]here, except for the part about Duke Nukem being banned in Brazil, found here.
With all but one clue fitting pretty well on just two wiki pages...it's got to be Apogee Software / 3D Realms. But I guess we knew that by now...so stop guessing other companies already! =)
Edit: If you're still not convinced, the new clue is "year of the dog," a refrence to Shadow Warrior (and possibly Prey which was published by 3D Realms and released in 2006, the year of the dog. I picked Prey up awhile back for 10 bucks, good game, and the price fits.
Edit 2: Scratch that, Vagabond's right, another ROTT clue.

My guess is Apogee Software / 3D Realms

The latest clue ("Year of the Dog") really points to Apogee/3D Realms. Rise of the Triad was released in 1994/1995 (the Chinese Year of the Dog), and had a mode in the game called "Dog Mode" where you'd turn into a dog.
I'd be absolutely amazed if it wasn't Apogee/3D Realms.

The hint 'Year Of The Dog' seals it, it must be 3d realms/Apogee

The heck with it... I'm pretty sure it's got to be 3D Realms/Apogee ...(even if they do have some kind of "online store" with some games available for download versions), at this time I don't know which other company could it be...
Although secretly I would love to hear it was LucasArts or Sierra or Origin :D.
So, bottom line, my guess is: Apogee/3D Realms.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say - Apogee Software / 3D Realms
:D
