Here's how the game works. Anyone can post pictures, and anyone can guess what a picture is supposed to be a game of, but don't do both in the same post. But wait! There's some more rules to make things interesting!

When getting a picture, first make sure the game isn't too obscure, and make sure the screenshot is easy enough to identify as that game. Now here comes the fun part:

Don't post the picture right away. Instead, make several iterative zooms of the picture, and when you feel you have enough, post the most zoomed-in one. Here's a relatively simple way to accomplish this:

First, make a backup of the original picture in case you screw something up. Open the picture in MS Paint. Press Ctrl+A to select everything. Then press Ctrl+W to open the Stretch and Skew dialog. Pick a number between 200 and 500, and set both Horizontal and Vertical to this number. Then click OK. The picture will then zoom in. Drag the selection around (only a portion of this selection will be visible in the paint window) until you're happy with it. Then go to File->Save As, and save it using a filename that identifies the picture as a level 2 zoom (but doesn't give away the game's name). Repeat this process until you think you have enough zoom iterations.

Start by posting the most zoomed-in picture you have. If nobody guesses it for awhile, edit your post and put the next level directly below it. If somebody guesses your game correctly, edit your post again, and say who got it right at the top.

Not a bad idea, but do you really think anyone will get those first ones right without a wild guess?

But i may as well give it a shot...
umm... World of Warcaft?

This is almost as bad as the talll-screen gaming thing. I suppose it's a result of the slow-down in game releases.
