I got 13 out of 15.
Messed up on what
is Galaga the sequel to,
and who made Pong.
Can't believe I messed that one up.

0/0

I can't get it to get past the first screen.

I've got Flash 10 installed.

I guess that means I fail.

15/15 in 1:10 - Guessed the Megaman answer.

I've been resisting posting since I don't go for these, but my 9YO son got 15/15 in 0:43 .

FWIW, I didn't know who Sonic's nemesis was, so would have been cooked by that question.

How is BubbleBobble a classic ?

You didn't hang out in the right cirlces, Cheffo. That game was where it was at!

I always figured that Galaga was a rip off of Galaxian, not a sequel.

I suck at pop quiz's.

But really wanted to use the black bar thingy.

14/15 in 39 seconds...missed the one about Double Dragon :/

CrazyKongFan · « **Reply #8 on:** December 04, 2009, 05:58:03 am »

I only got 10/15, but the ones I missed were the console games. I think I got all the arcade games (except maybe the one of the fighting game ones). I thought Pac-Man came out in 1980 though, but the quiz claims 1981 (Pac-Man has a 1980 copyright date on the title screen)

It says Ms. Pac-Man.

15/15

had to guess which came first Space Invaders or Asteroids.

Stupid easy quiz. Although the Guile question is pretty tough for a non SF player.

Oops, you're right

Guess I got that one and the Mario one confused, which had Pac-Man as one of it's choices.

15/15
Though I had to guess on the Guile question.

15/15 in 0.00000000000000000001 second. Beat that!

(and don't think about sticking an extra 0 in there...)

DillonFoulds · « **Reply #14 on:** December 04, 2009, 10:25:13 am »

15/15 in 0:36, and same with ginsu, i totally guessed on the Guile one, I just don't follow fighter stories, sorry

Aceldamor · « **Reply #15 on:** December 04, 2009, 10:32:15 am »

15/15 in 49 secs....that just tells me I shoulda dedicated my attention to more important things in my youth...

Ummon · « **Reply #16 on:** December 05, 2009, 03:14:44 pm »

I always wondered where 'all your base..." was from. Now I know...and it doesn't make any difference, except/because that it's a game I never would've played anyway. I don't think that one, nor a few others are 'classic'.

But, hey, I never even played SF2, or know anything about it, and I psychically guessed 'Charlie'. I also psychically guessed Ganon, but thought 'nah', and chose Death...whatever. Obviously I never played Zelda, either.

I dont deserve Mame 10 out of 15 I suck

ivwshane · « **Reply #18 on:** December 05, 2009, 09:12:12 pm »

I got 12 out of 15:(

How the hell did I miss the mortal kombat question?:| I also missed the galaga/space invaders question.

diazsinger · « **Reply #19 on:** December 07, 2009, 11:03:52 am »

12/15 in 1:11

I got a sonic boom, i'm not gonna be upset with that.

danny_galaga · « **Reply #20 on:** December 23, 2009, 06:26:48 am »

11/15 in 1:06. As usual i didn't realised the time is going as soon as you open the link. I might just got in under a minute otherwise. I'm annoyed i got thre Ping question wrong...

HanoiBoi · « **Reply #21 on:** December 23, 2009, 09:06:43 am »

15/15 the 2nd try.

The 1st try I got 10/15, but I'm cool with that. I'm not a console guy, really.

I remember Space Invaders in the bowling alleys and roller rinks, before Asteroids showed up. Really, it was about the only thing out there at that time, from what I recall.

Here's what I missed:

All your base are belong to us...
Ms Pac Man (thought 83)
Mortal Kombat
Sonic
Street Fighter 2

dgame · « **Reply #22 on:** December 23, 2009, 10:25:29 am »

14/15 I never got into Mortal Kombat, the others were easy.

I have the mega drive version just because it has that famous 'engrish'

. And actually it's quite an enjoyable version, other than being a bit easier than the arcade version...

15/15 29sec

saurian333 · « **Reply #25 on:** December 27, 2009, 05:30:18 am »

14/15 in :38.
I'm not upset that the Street Fighter one is the one I missed. Just never got into that one.
I wasn't sure on Pong and "which game came first;" the latter was definitely a guess.

TOK · « **Reply #26 on:** December 27, 2009, 02:56:14 pm »

14/15 in 57 seconds. I missed the Street Fighter 2 question as well.
