I won second Prize but it should have been first...
I entered an Official PlayStation Magazine competition years ago (maybe 1997/8) in the days before google search. You had to answer 100 odd questions on a variety of PlayStation topics, hardware, software, back issues of the magazine... also sections on Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy VII (which I was a complete fanboy of)

I painstakingly checked my answers thoroughly, was pretty confident I had 100% and eagerly anticipated the arrival of my plethora of goodies.

Imagine my surprise to receive a promo version of Formula 1 '98 on Playstation and not the grand prize.

The one question I apparently got wrong was as follows:

"What is the name of Marlene's Dad in Final Fantasy VII?"

The answer they gave in the magazine? Barrett.

Correct answers in reply please. Incidentally I wrote them a letter which they ignored, if I wasn't 16 at the time I might have sued.

It was Dyne.
Geek high five!

Dyne wasn't her real dad. He adopted her when she was a baby. Barrett is her biological dad.

Other way around I'm afraid.
That was the point of the story, the magazine got the answer wrong.

I'm glad you agree
Dyne gave her to Barrett when he knew he was going to Coral Desert Prison, without wishing to be racist the fact that Marlene was white and Barrett was black gave it away!
