Hello All,

My name is Randy the co-founder of RTS Vapes. We are excited about being promoted to forum supplier and one of the first site changes will be reinstating out trivia contests. When we were a registered supplier we had to stop the contests but as a forum supplier we are allowed.

The trivia contests were quite popular. Basically, a trivia contest asks between 5 and 12 questions on a particular subject. The first person to answer all questions correctly wins RTS Vapes rewards points which can be reimbursed at www.rtsvapes.com to buy products from us.

We typically have prizes ranging from 50 to 600 ($46) rewards points.

We will be posting contests under this thread weekly starting later this week. Please follow this thread so as not to miss out.

Thank you,

Randy

Hi Everyone,

We stopped these contests because the new FDA rules do not permit us to give away product. Since several people were disappointed with the end of the contests we found a legal way to resume them. For the winner of future contests we will offer a 90% off coupon good for one use on up to $150.00 worth of product. We hope this makes it interesting to participate in the future contests which will begin some time the week of September 18th.

Thank you for all your support,

Randy - RTS CEO and Owner

1. What classic video game required the player to jump from cube to cube to change the colors of the blocks while avoiding Coily, Ugg, Slick, Sam, and Wrongway?


Interesting fact: I actually played this game for 15 hours on one quarter in college. Started playing after breakfast in the dorm and didn't finish until nearly midnight. Missed all my classes that day and had a couple of friends take over when I needed a little break (had so many men built up that even though they kept dieing, I was safe). Those were the days.

I have many fond memories of that game, too. The flying discs and sending Coily to his death! The little swear bubble that appeared when he got bonked on the head... yep, those were the days! I played it on one of these:

Super Breakout was another game I wasted many hours on. My kingdom to go back and waste them all over again.
