Name Those Pixels Contest
October 28th, 2006 by Benj Edwards
Matt Groves, a regular reader of VC&G, is hosting a vintage gaming contest with an innovative concept called “Name Those Pixels.” He’s selected an excerpt from a NES game’s graphics in the form of a square block of pixels (pictured to the right). Your job is to guess which game the pixels came from. The winner of the contest will be selected randomly from all the correct entries and will receive a copy of Dr. Mario for the NES as a prize. If all goes well, he could be hosting more contests like this on VC&G in the future. To enter the contest, visit his site and send him an email. Good luck!

If you want to officially enter, you’ll have to email mgroves through his site.
But it still might be funny to shout out guesses in the comments section. 🙂

If you make it a little blockier and go back a few years to the C64 (and others), it could almost be The Little Computer People.
