Since it's Sunday, it's probably best to relax and take an easy quiz

Simply name the game each image is taken from. Have fun!

Difficulty level: ★★☆☆☆ (lenient on answers)

Guessed them in one? A little too easy? Try this: Name the Game - Sprite Quiz (difficulty: ★★★★★)

Good luck!

Thanks for participating and feel free to pay your respects to the little green guy without whom we'd never have seen amazing Epic games like One Must Fall and that other one with the chainsaws and beards

Thank you for playing!

Spoiler: show: 4. Picross

8. Super Mario Galaxy 2 (off-chance)

Seeing these two new ones, I feel like making a quotes quiz.

Darn, I was too late; the only few I know have all been answered already

Oh well, good luck everyone!

Time for a stats update, as you might've noticed I've not actually updated the table so far unlike the other quiz. As things stand there's still a little to play for, I actually think there may be some better answers than the ones listed and welcome any challenges to any possible flaws in the existing answers. I've added just 5 correct answers to the leaderboard to help narrow things down but there's still a lot to play for!

I'll complete the table at 10pm

Ok, not much of a prize but to celebrate the joint winners here are some virtual trophies:

Images & variants for PressEscToExit (zipped)

Images & variants for DomsBeard (zipped)

I've also included links to download the original image, the larger ones posted here and some heavily optimised variants to use in your sigs if you wish.

I've spoiler tagged the answers now in case anybody still wants to give the quiz a go in the future and updated the original post to include the winners and comments on entries, when(or if) I get around to posting a new quiz I'll make sure everybody knows in advance!

Knew I should've added "DS" to my answer. That really ruffles my feathers.

I actually had to check the boxes online to see if there were regional differences, I was convinced it was only named Picross DS in the North American release but nope, I would've fallen into the same trap too. Still, you absolutely nailed Counter-strike so fair play

Well, if I'd gotten my answers in fast enough, I'd have gotten 1, 5, 8, 9, 16 and 18. I am at least glad I got that one, though. I like to think I've been playing enough CS recently to recognise it quite easily, and even more of 1.6 in 2010, even though that was the first time I ever knowingly played it.

Haha wow that's awesome, thanks! Good call on the choice of images there, especially Lillith and the Capcom font

I think with this one being very much the Junior Pictionary to the sprite quiz, it was really a case of whoever got in earliest. Good job on these quizzes, they've been a lot of fun.

Wow that's fantastic cheers!
