PC Gamer's tougher pixel-art quiz: identify 15 distorted game screenshots

PC Gamer released a follow-up pixel-art identification quiz that increases difficulty by distorting images. Players must name as many of 15 games as they can within a six-minute time limit using blurred, cropped or reduced screenshots. The quiz mixes a few easy entries with heavily altered sprite and environment samples from games across genres and invites readers to share their scores in the comments.

• Quiz contains 15 games and gives players six minutes to name as many as possible.
• Many screenshots are altered—blurred, clipped, or shown as very small samples—to raise difficulty.
• Selection is genre-agnostic; games were chosen for distinctive sprites or pixel environments rather than a theme.
• The quiz includes a handful of obvious 'gimme' images alongside much more distorted examples and solicits reader results in the comments.
