Arteveld: Woo! Hell yeah! ;)
Thanks GOG! That was some good Christmas You've given us, freebies, discounts, and a contest! ;D
Congratulations to all the winners.:)
Any stats coming? Like, how many people participated, and what was the avg. correct answer ratio?;)

Congratulations!
To answer your question: they don't tend to disclose such statistics, so they probably won't do so now, either.

Thank you GOG for this contest and congratulations to all the winners!
After I found only 16 screenshots I lost a little bit of my eagerness. I looked then at the URLs of the modified screenshots and discovered a pattern which I think comes from GOG's upload mechanism for content. One could use it for a trick:
All modified screenshots have a "2009/12" (contest start) in their URL, so instead of looking at every game screenshot one could look for this pattern on every game card, especially in the page info window of Firefox (see attached image e.g. for one from Battle Chess, a very difficult one)
;)

Grats to the winners.

Congrats to the winners.
After seeing the correct entries, I can't believe I wasn't able to get the last 2. I missed Battle Chess and Earthworm Jim 3D. They were quite easy to spot.
The only hard one was the reindeer one which I only got right cause it was leaked in this thread.

Thanks GOG, you made my day!

Darn. I was so close. I assumed the purple reindeer in Lords of Magic was one of the answers. I guess it's in-game, since the picture's still up. Ended up missing Divine Divinity instead. So close, yet so far...

Tsunami: The only hard one was the reindeer one which I only got right cause it was leaked in this thread.

That one was not edited.
I missed three obvious ones and managed to spot the hard ones. It must be because I was very tired and late in the night when I got trough all the screenshots. After that I didn't had the will to start again.
Congrats to the winners.

Congrats to the five winners.
I'm looking forward for more GOG contests. ;)

I was under the impression all modified screenshots counted, so I had included "Tex Murphy 1+2" (Tell me about: GOG.COM) and "IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946" (gog logo on plane) and somehow missed "Broken Sword 2: The Smoking Mirror" and "Battle Chess"
Ehh, too bad.
Congrats to the actual winners!

OH SHI-
damn i should have figured that out. obviously they uploaded the edited christmas pictures right before the contest started so they all have that unique date. I need to think more like Pip-Boy...

Congrats to the winners. Yep I had found all the screenshots. As always with these competitions it takes some serious time and dedication to find them all. Maybe I'll win one of these competitions one day :(

T'was fun, congratulations to the winners. The one I ended up missing was Battle Chess.
I did notice the '2009/12' trick, but felt I would be cheating by checking everything that way :}
