EASY:
1) Legend of Zelda: Adventure of Link
2) God knows. From context, Grand Theft Auto V?
3) Super Mario Bros. 3 (a shoe-in, that one)
4) Earthbound/Mother 2/That One With The Catherine Warwick Song
5) I'm going to say BioShock. It'll probably be BioShock 2 or something.
MEDIUM:
1) Shootybang Game 17Call of Duty: Black Ops?
2) Dragon Quest... Eeeeeeeeeight?
3) A.N. Street Fighter. Er, V?
4) Timesplitters 2! I got a shooty game! I think.
5) Oh God, I don't know. One with cars in. Forza Horizon 3?
HARD:
Precisely 4 of these can die in a dumpster fire.
1) Pandora's Tower maybe? He looks too manly for that though.
2) Rival Schools? It looks like one of the random beat-em-ups you see in arcades, and I might slightly recognise whatserface in the bottom-right. Also ENOUGH WITH THE FIGHTING GAMES MOYLES JEEZ.
3) (nerd glasses on) I think you'll find that's Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings. I played it. It was okay.
4) Absolutely no buggering clue. Back to the fighting games please. How many Gradius games were there... Gradius V? (I entered 'Gradius' into the search bar and looked at the autocomplete entries, that's all I did, I didn't look up any pictures. If that's not allowed please say so and I'll waive the points I probably didn't get anyway from this question.)
5) It looks like a FIFA Street game, and I have no clue how anyone's meant to know which one. I'll say the original because I don't want to 'pull a 4' on this. Is that called FIFA Street? I hope it is.

It'll be the "falling on deaf ears" approach from me, for the most part. If there were real stakes involved in this beyond a bit of fun bragging, I'd likely consider reviewing the answer sheet.
At least with this picture round and the next round, there'll be no ambiguity.
FYI, I'll give you all a couple of more days to get your answers in before we move onwards. I'm enjoying your responses - I'm surprised how well some of you have done with the Hard round here!

Right... time for the answers!
EASY:
1) Zelda II: Adventure of Link 2) GTA V 3) Super Mario Bros. 3 4) Earthbound 5) Bioshock
MEDIUM:
1) Call of Duty: Black Ops 2) Dragon Quest VIII 3) Street Fighter IV 4) Timesplitters 2 5) Burnout Paradise
HARD:
1) NIER 2) Rival Schools 3) Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings 4) Super Star Soldier 5) FIFA Street 3
And how did you all do? A little note - I've not marked anybody down for picking Super/Ultra/Enhanced/Remastered versions of the same game shown in the screenshot, but you won't get any points for choosing the wrong game in the series eg. SMB2 instead of SMB3.
Well, here are the scores from this round and then the overall league table!
Well, what's next? Get a pair of headphones and tune in - it's the music round.
Simply put, I'm looking for the game that the tune you're listening to originating from. You know the score by now - 1 point per Easy question, 2 per Medium and 3 per Hard answered correctly!

I know Andy played music games without the sound on which might help and Balla will struggle on things, not on Nintendo or super famous.

I do think the music round will the most difficult to judge how easy or hard a track would be, especially for the Medium and Hard sections. A lot of music rounds boil down to "have you heard this before?"
Still, enjoying your answers so far!

Yep, this one didn't work for me. There was only one where I thought I might have got it wrong despite playing the game, and a whole bunch where you benefit from purely having a wide spread of game knowledge. Fully expecting Mas to smash this one.
EASY:
1) Opening of Super Smash Bros. Mêlée.
2) Opening of Banjo-Kazooie - both knowable from the first few notes.
3) Green Hill Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog, but one of the later Smash games would qualify.
4) This is nice because you could potentially work it out even if you hadn't played the game! Skyrim.
5) Not a chuffing clue. Donkey Kong Country... 2?
MEDIUM:
1) Final Fantasy VI, I think. Definitely an FF...
2) Don't know, sounds MGS-ish though. Metal Gear Solid IV?
3) Street Fighter the original?
4) Star Fox: Zero?
5) Super Monkey Ball 2.
HARD:
1) Super Mario Bros.: the Lost Levels?
2) Devil May Cry III.
3) Braid? Sounds like it might be creepy backwards music.
4) Devil May Cry III. They're all DMCIII from hereon out.
5) Not this one though. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, I think!

Whilst I do think the music round will be the trickiest, the point you raised is, well, the point of a quiz! If you've got a wide range of knowledge of different games, you'll do well. Same applies to any quiz, I'd imagine.
I'll tinker with the difficulty of the medium round as it's proved trickier than I'd imagined for most, but the easy and hard rounds seem spot on so far with most people doing well for the easy rounds and only a couple of people scoring points in the hard round.
I'll give you all a few more days - let's say Friday for the dawn of the next round.

I dunno, maybe it's just that I'm a one-console nancy, but despite that I never felt like I was out of the other rounds. Not like this one.

Right, time to find out how the music round treated you all!
Firstly... the answers!
EASY:
1 - Super Smash Bros. Brawl 2 - Banjo Kazooie 3 - Sonic the Hedgehog 4 - Skyrim 5 - Crash Bandicoot
MEDIUM:
1 - Chrono Trigger 2 - Assassin's Creed II 3 - Contra 4 - Final Fantasy XV 5 - Tekken 3
HARD:
1 - Dig Dug 2 - Devil May Cry 4 3 - Resident Evil 4 4 - Yakuza 0 5 - The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
So, that proved to be a tougher round than I'd envisaged. If we do another music round, which I'd like to as it was fun to put together, then I'll definitely be tinkering with the difficulty of the easy and medium rounds. I'm reasonably happy with the hard round's difficulty as many of you were on the right track but just picked the wrong game in a series.
And the overall scores on the doors after three rounds!
It's heating up at the top... Will Mas hold onto his lead?
I'll be putting the next round up over the weekend - I need to have a think of what would make for a decent category. I've got something already in mind, but I'm open to suggestions for a theme/style of question for this or future rounds!
