Judging from scattered remarks here and there, it seems that the way the quiz champions (zobraks et al.) play is by first examining the screenshot, forming a conjecture about the game it could be coming from, and then looking over screenshot galleries (here, at mobygames etc.) "refreshing" their memory, looking for the right picture or, at least, for similarities in style.

What you propose would eliminate the second step and make the quiz very easy (for them at least). I guess you can mitigate that by posting only box shot fragments. Alternatively, you can try to find very obscure screenshots (good luck with that!) or take them yourself (too much work).

Man... quizzes here are quite the big deal...
