Hmm... I'm not sure I understand. I submitted for level 1?

So at midnight my time (Berlin, Germany) I updated the zoom level to the 2nd stage. Directly afterwards I submitted an empty entry into the quiz myself, to have a clear cut-off point between the two stages.

There was probably an overlap with your entry - you looked at level 1, but hit the submit button when it was already on stage 2! You missed the cut-off point by only 14 minutes. Sorry. :/

The link for image two is broken, by the way.

Mmmh, maybe it's the hoster, here is a lensdump link instead:

So far there are four people from NintendoLife playing in this round, who have altogether already recognised two games.

OK, so from now it's every three days at midnight?

Zoom level 2 makes things quite a bit easier already. I'm a bit embarrassed at the first game I recognized. Just by saying that you can probably imagine which one.

I barely see a difference. I only recognize games I’ve played, and... I’ve played zero of these games. Although, thanks to @lifer, now I know when there’s clues, I can try to google them and find the game. 😉

Heigh Ho Heigh Ho. It’s off to work (from home) I go.

@BabyYoshi12 I think the clues are meant to be a help for searching. 1993 Shenandoah was the first clue that actually helped me, but your mileage may vary.

For some of the pictures this time, I have a memory how they look in larger... but I can't come up with the game's name. #7 is the one driving me crazy at the moment for that reason.

On stage 1, I only had one guess.
With the stage 2 zoom, I’m now 100% sure on 3 games, about 75% sure on #19, and have put in a couple of guesses on others. Hoping to nail a couple more on stage 3

@Mr_Horizon If you resubmit the same answer, will the first time count?
I'm unsure for which ones I submitted a guess the first time.
I think 1, 2, 8, 13, 18, 20.... This time just resubmitting everything again may not be advisable. I'll start keeping a record.

@JoakimZ Chances are we are going head-to-head at the moment.

So, level three is online!

two: https://i1.lensdump.com/i/0Als80.png
three: https://i1.lensdump.com/i/0Al3JD.png

It should slowly get a little bit less hard, but if you recognise something now or on level four, you'll still get above average points for it.

Normally the first one will count - so if you enter Mario on the first zoom level, and also enter it on the fifth level, and it turns out Mario is right... you get the higher amount of points, not the lower one.
But if you enter Mario first, then Sonic second, then Mario again...then the first one will not count anymore.

There's currently one user who sadly lost a point by updating to a wrong entry.

You two and Gentle Breeze from the Powerplay Forum currently are the Top 3. (40 people in total)

Ooh, I might know #19! Probably not, but maybe.

Heigh Ho Heigh Ho. It’s off to work (from home) I go.

On stage 3, I’m now 100% sure on a total of 8 games. This quiz concept was way more fun than I first thought it would be. Let’s see if I can get a couple more on stage 4.

#21 keeps me from my sleep at the moment. I think I know what the pic shows, and remember how it appears on screen... but can't put a name on the game. Probably it'll turn out to be something entirely different.

@JoakimZ I'm at 100% sure for 9 games. A couple more with varying level of confidence.

@Mr_Horizon Thanks, I resubmitted all I'm confident about to some level just to satisfy my paranoid urges of "did I really submit that in round 1/2?"

There's currently one user who sadly lost a point by updating to a wrong entry.

My sources say that the person in case thinks they are particularly stupid for having overthought it in round 2... but at the same time feels kinda smug about having had it right at the initial zoom level already.

@BabyYoshi12 Wow, nice! I think I might have it, but aren't sure at all. It's more like 40:60.

Zoom level 4 pics are up! It makes a big difference imho. The biggest maybe in #1? That should go from "no idea" to "so obvious!" for many at this level...

I should be at 19 or 20 correct now... and I'm slightly embarassed I figured all the NSFW ones out quite early...

@BabyYoshi12 Is your #19 confirmed? I had it wrong after all. Should be ok now though...

@lifer I can't find where zoom level 4 is at

@lifer I’m not sure. The eyes looked different than I remember. A handy clue would be what year this game was released in.

Heigh Ho Heigh Ho. It’s off to work (from home) I go.

@Mr_Horizon where is level 4 located at?

@Apportal The pictures updated on the answer submission page, www.retrogamequiz.com.

Not sure if this works without accessing the page beforehand, but here's zoom level 4:

Yes, pretty much... big shout to @Dogorilla though, the only user of the entire field to already figure it out on Zoom level 3!

I once had the plan to make a penis quiz (like the boobies riddle years ago), but couldn't find 25 entries. Beyond the five you see here, I only had a Larry game, GTA 4, Gynoug and some japanese nonsense. How many more do you know??

But yeah, eventually I thought that the five of this current round should be enough.

Anyway as Lifer already posted (thanks!), the fourth zoom level is online as of yesterday. It seems to be getting easier now!

Have a look? http://www.retrogamequiz.com

level 1: https://i.imgur.com/aqcZIk0.png
level 2: https://i.imgur.com/T9f60Fx.png
level 3: https://i.imgur.com/0Kqminb.png
level 4: https://i.imgur.com/Vfiwauf.png

I will post one more (level 5 on tuesday), then I'll take a break with posting and you'll have to remind yourself to check on the quiz page for the new update.

There are a dozen or so more than that... but if you'd narrowed it down to only those, and the few depictions of the genitals in there, the month would become increasingly easy to solve.

This mad eme wonder if there are any kids playing the quiz... some of those games will be 18+, potentially just because of the nudity...
