"If someone showed you that heatmap without the game labels, I think you’d be able to immediately identify at least the first three games" -- absolutely not. Pac-Man in particular seems like a huge stretch to me.

I would have gotten none of them right. Now if you said "here are the four possible games, now match them up" then I probably could do decently. But if you gave me nothing and said tell me the game -- I'd get 0 out of the 4.

Really? Pac-Man seemed easiest to me.

(One possible disconnect: each row in the grid is one game, so Pac-Man is the third row, not the third image.)

		Even watching the human-friendly animation I would have struggled to call it Pac-Man. You'd need to render the dots as dots and the ghosts as ghosts, then it'd be recognizable easily.
