Defeating TinEye and Google Image Search

[Fallingwater]

On another forum, I've been playing in a "guess the videogame" thread, where people post a screenshot and everyone has to guess what game it is. Yeah, it does tend to devolve in retrogaming nostalgia - and it's a good thing.

Problem is, with Tineye and ImageSearch, one just has to copypaste the image link to be told of any other page using the screenshot, and there are a lot of people who can't resist the temptation to cheat.

How can I defeat this, short of making new screenshots myself? Is there a watermark, or any sort of modification that can be done to a picture so the search engines think it's something other than it is?

Probably the best way to figure out is to post an example of a screenshot that can be easily found on TinEye. Then try various modifications and test each one. Easily reversible modifications obviously won't be very useful. Probably some sort of design overlayed on the image would work, and still be human readable.
