Prove you're a human! Beat Lifewater Oasis from Commander Keen 4! Defeat the Yeti in Kings Quest 5! Make sure 15 lemmings survive! Get the sword in Prince of Persia!
-
Honestly just making it do The Incredible Machine puzzles would be hilarious
-
Same form lemmings... God, is it just all puzzle games?
-
I have thought about adapting Simon Tatham's puzzle collection to a captcha. Like it just gives you a puzzle with no instructions.
-
!
Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego!
You catch the culprit of the current case, using the clues and your geographic knowledge and Encyclopedia! -
Oregon Trail would also be funny.
To prove you are a human, get to Oregon.
-
We use geo-ip to automatically allow anyone showing up as accessing the site from the state of Oregon, of course.
-
(that is only one slight degree sillier than something I have done professionally for a website)
-
Chip's Challenge levels would also be funny.
-
The edutainment puzzles from the doors in Super Solvers: Gizmos and Gadgets!
-
@foone brb adding an error handler that says BUMMER whenever the API returns a 401
-
You know, I was just thinking yesterday I should reverse engineer that game, but I don't really have a reason to.

"have a population of at least 20,000 within 5 years in this game of SimCity 2000"
-
Just throwing surfers randomly in point and click adventures and then telling them to find an item would also be funny.
Do you know where to get the Cloaking Belt in Space Quest 3? How about the box of electronic bunnies in Full Throttle?
Where's the Old Book on Hugo 3: Jungle of Doom? -
@foone how about an incredible machine *with* lemmings?
-
@gryzor madness!
-
@foone something like doom captcha?
https://vivirenremoto.github.io/doomcaptcha/ -
@itec yes but running the actual game
-
@foone warioware but as captcha
-
@lritter that'd be fun! significantly more likely to get your ass sued off, sadly.
