Congratulations !!!! Well done :thumb:

A short explanation for the ones who didn't get it:

The hint indicated, as Jacob pointed out, that the pictures had to be placed in reverse order:

Photo 1: This is the Swedish metal band Therion. Therion is the Greek word for beast.
Photo 2: This kind of rock formations are called 'tor' in English
Photo 3: This torture device is called a rack
Photo 4: The book Utopia was written by Thomas More

Hannes, it's your turn now

Since things have been turning a little complicated lately (normal effect in such a game), I'll try to tune it down a little. This hint translates pretty much directly into the title you're looking for!

Since there is no such game in the CASA database, I'm going to say no ;)

No. I see that this may not have been quite as easy as I thought ;) One important detail can be found on the left hand side of the picture.

You just will be disqualified for making it far too complicated, because as I recall just the other day someone already was complaining things are getting too complicated :lol: :

I must admit I still haven't got a clue to the solution but here another guess:

Sherlock Holmes in Another Bow

I've been searching a site called The Good Old Days (I don't know if you have heard of it) in an attempt to find the screenshot and thus the name of the game shown in clue 2. So far I've had no luck.

Good idea, but the game is not on there. The name can be found on the screenshot, however.

Well I know the game is V for Victory, but I'm afraid this does not help me at all
