This isn't quite appropriate for the garden of puzzling delights, nor is it really right for the adventure discussion forum. Therefore ladies and gents, I present you with a quick throwaway question to test your adventure game knowledge. Which game is this from and can you remember the name of the person who says these words? It's from a game I'm currently playing and I've translated it as best I can based on the phonetics I hear

"Zero Zero Zero Zero wah wah wah
Ahhh eeeee ooooh no ooh ta ta
Ki ko ey tey coo rro yay,
Wah, Wah, Wah, Wah

Zero Zero Zero Zero wah wah wah
Ahhh eeeee ooooh no ooh ta ta
Ki ko ey tey coo rro yay,
Wah, Wah, Wah, Wah "

Merlin, I have no idea, though it sounds interesting. Is the person singing?

Since this is Game related and Mixed Bag is for everything But games, I'm going to scoot you over to the Adventure Games Discussion forum.

I hope someone guesses it

Ah ok, no problem

Yes, the person is singing. A very strange song

Is it a 'person' singing Merlin? I read the words & thought parrot!

Hi chrissie
Yes it is a person.
I've extracted the soundbite from the game so I'll post it here later if noone gets it. A clue : I would imagine many people here have played this game, and fairly recently.

Well, something has been lost in the translation.......ME!

I remember the Priest in Schizm came out and said strange things, but I never could understand him.

Merlin, is it someone trying to communicate with Kate in the Youkul village in Syberia 2??

(wild guess!)

Sorry about that billybob
Not schizm, L4L
Renee, good guess but not the right answer I'm afraid

Clue 2 : this person is fixing something at the same time.

Clue 3 : Person's initial is 'J'.

How about Joshua in Runaway 2?

That is correct L4L



Here is the soundbite, it's only 256kb. Do you think my translation was close? This song is the funniest thing in the game for me

Very Good job of Transcribing it. There are a lot of funny things in that game

Thanks for that fun memory, Merlin.

- I just played Runaway 2, too! It didn't even occur to me that it could be that crazy Joshua. Nice catch, L4L!! So funny!! Thanks, Merlin
