Self-test on dominant strategies, dominated strategies, and Nash equilibrium

GAME 1
                                         Column
                                    Left         Right
                   Up           -1,-1        -10,0
 ROW                                         
                Down        0, -10      -8, -8

1.4 Do you recognize this game from your reading or the lecture? You can do a linear transformation on the payoffs of a game without changing its essential structure. In fact, you can even do more general monotonic transformations, though that will affect the probabilities in a mixed strategy equilibrium. Which game is disguised under the action names of Game 1?
