Zoom level 6 is up!

You still get 0.8 points per correct answer. Worth it!

Level 7 is up, and I finally have a guess for #18. I also think my previous guess for #5 is correct, but I’m really unsure about #12, and I still have no idea about #15.

@JoakimZ I might have #15 wrong. Booked that in quite early, at level 2... but the character looks different than the one I had on my mind. Which should be alright with my guess.
It's the only one I'm still a bit uncertain about. The rest is locked on my card.

Level 8 has gone up today!

I feel the difficulty of the pics to differ greatly. I assume some of the faces every identified now. After all, we got the most iconic video game figure among them... well, outside of Mario and Pikachu maybe!?
And I really hope everyone here recognizes #1 by now!

@lifer I think I know which one you mean by the most iconic video game figure but I hadn't actually recognised them until you said that haha

"Remember, Funky's the Monkey!"

Funky Kong

@Dogorilla Now I feel bad, because we aren't allowed to give each other hints...
To iron that out, let's be fair and post everywhere that #15 is Sonic.

Did anyone else notice that #7 and #9 look remarkably similar? It's like the 16 bit and FMV version of the same character!
Edit: ...and on pic #18 she's wearing a hat!

I SAW THAT! But don't worry, it happens. It wasn't a proper hint, and it makes me happy if users talk about the quiz inbetween my posts.

Yes, as @Lifer has posted (thanks for doing the updates ) - this self-solving quiz is almost done - we are on the penultimate stage, on wednesday you will briefly get the full screenshot (which you will get few points for) and then the round is over!

I suggest you use the remaining days of the month to join in - so far there's 86 players.

Well, I found out what 1, 5, 7, and 13 are. No idea on the other ones tho.

And I'm kinda scared to look up 25

Watch out everyone, quiz ends tonight!

@BabyYoshi12 this would be a good time to take a second look and submit again.

I'm wondering if this is actually much easier than the usual zoomed in screenshot month. It still seems fairly hard - if you couldn't identify the game at all at zoom level 5, chances are, you don't know it at this final stage either. Certainly not self-solving, at least.

I actually played the four games that are featured here from the same classic system when I was a kid... one day my dad brought home one of those cartridges with hundreds of games on them, never thinking what was on there exactly (games are for kids anyway!). Some of these were certainly not meant for minors.

OH NO I COMPLETELY FORGIT ABOUT THIS!!!! i am sad. i have missed points.

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

BabyYoda71

Yeah, I still know nothing. I definitely don’t know what 19 is, but I guessed anyways. Ugh, I only said “I like this format” last month because the example was Mario! I thought they would all be as easy as that! They weren’t! This is fun but WAY too difficult! I really Hope next month’s theme is “Games BabyYoshi12 can get Quiz”

I don't know what to say, but #1 certainly seems like a game that people on a Nintendo Board might recognise.

I hope we get a new installment eventually... it's been 16 years since the last release!

Tomorrow I'll post the answers & score.

@Lifer I thought it was easier, but I'll have to compare the final scores with the average points of previous rounds. I'll tell you tomorrow!

@BabyYoshi12 If I had known you are not watching the topic to get emails on new posts, I'd have named you for the updates! But yeah, it was surprisingly difficult.

The guess I'm most proud of are #22, which I had at level 2 (I kinda thought about it at level 1 already, but surely, this quiz wouldn't focus on genitalia, RIGHT?).

@MrHorizon Heavy on the hints all of a sudden!
I got my hopes up to finally book a win this time. Don't disappoint me tomorrow!

Although I appreciate you trying something new, I think it’s way too hard. If you do want to do this again could you theme it at least, but still zoom in on it? That’ll make it a tad easier for those who don’t play a variety of games :3

I did follow this thread, but for whatever reason, I don’t get notified by it anymore. ):

Not that it matters, I wouldn’t have gotten anything anyways.

But... woah, thanks for the hint @Mr_Horizon! I’ll Google and hopefully get #1 right.... If you do this style again, please also have the additional clues!

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