Oh dear, you're going to hate me for these results! Well over 500 entries resulted in no points, as it had to be the exact title of the game this round. Despite such a strict rule, a whole dozen of players managed to score full points. Impressive!
Briefly on the poll: 55% vote for a sound quiz, 45% against it... that's damn close to a 50/50 and not distinct enough for me to make the effort. Maybe there will be some kind of SoundFX bonus round.
The new Super Mario Bros movie has been seen by 31% of all voters, and only 2% of them (3 votes) didn't like it. 25% don't want to see it in the first place, and the remaining 44% still plan to watch it eventually.
But now it's time to start with the results... first the names of the games as text, then the pictures, then the high score.

Here is the quiz image again, followed by the answers:
Well, I'm almost glad I didn't know Yoshi's Cookie or Super Scope, as that would have made it even more frustrating getting the Mario & Luigi and Mario Artist ones wrong This was a good round though, and definitely the best I've ever done!
I got a grand total of three from the bottom two rows, although I scored a heck of a lot higher among the ones that were actual Mario games rather than just a cameo.
Overall, well done guys. I think we've just about scraped through this with honour intact.
I can’t believe I got 16, my previous high score was only 6 I think! I’m very very proud of myself lol
Yes it's your best too, but your have only played for four rounds so far.
Dogorilla has been here for years, she's in the Global Top 20 of people that participated the most. ^_^
Also, a late "welcome" to @charlix12323 and @TheBigBlue ...you are both freshly joining the quiz this year for the final season.
In the year 2000 Macromedia Flash 5 is released, in which the programming language "ActionScript" is built in for the first time... At the latest now the time of Flash Games begins and flushes a wild mixture of crude chaos & great creativity onto desktop computers all over the world.
I'm sure some of you will roll your eyes at this one... do Flash games even deserve to get their own quiz?! But after last round's 100% polished games from Nintendo, I can't think of a better counter-programme than the unfiltered deluge from the games laboratory that was Macromedia Flash.
The time span is pretty much set this time, from 2000 to the year 2020, which was when eventually all those games just launched into a "Adobe Flash Player is no longer supported" message.
Ooh, that's an interesting topic... I don't recognise many of these but there are a few that bring back memories of wasting my childhood in front of a computer screen
Now I've officially done it, the world is coming to an end. Apart from a few "yeah, just like back in school!" voices, the reaction to this round is quite bad, even more intense than I expected. Well, even though this is the worst quiz round ever created... 35 people are playing so far, I hope the following clues persuade a few more.
Here are the first clues:
1) The following games have left the Flash platform behind through ports or sequels: the whole first row, 9, 11, 13, 15, 16, 18, 20 ...pretty much half! 2) The #3 and #12 are games to well-known Flash animated series, in which a single character (faceless grey guy or kung-fu stick figure) creatively fights hordes of enemies. 3) A popular Nintendo fighting game was very freely recreated on Flash with #6. 4) In game #9 you control a ninja and have to pass countless difficult platforming rooms.
Soon it will all be over, Flash will be switched off for good and this round will end! Next Wednesday is the deadline, so you only have a few days left. Over fifty players have already submitted - what about you?
Here are the last hints:
1) Number 7 is a helicopter game that is played with just a single button. 2) In #11 you have to crush the castle pictured with the skilled use of a catapult. 3) Game 16 is a standard single player RPG where you go on an adventure quest, slay many monsters and level up. 4) The unusual thing about the picture shown at #8 is that this is the only level the game has.
