Want to keep testing your knowledge of gaming trivia? We've got loads more PC Gamer quizzes, on everything from healthbars to weird currencies to absurd patch notes.
The visual language of games is a fascinating thing. Graphics may have become more and more detailed and elaborate, but often the things that make a game most recognisable are the simplest elements, like the colour palette and the shape of the UI.
All of which is to say, you can actually mess up a screenshot a lot before it becomes genuinely unrecognisable. Even if we take away loads of the important details, your brain can still clock what it's looking at. And that's exactly what today's quiz is all about.
I've taken 10 screenshots of popular videogames and pixelated them to Hell and back (using the excellent free tool Pixel Art Village), and your job is to see if you can still identify them. It's not easy, but it's a lot more possible than it seems at first glance—we even had a few 10/10 scores when I tested it on the team.
