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.

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 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)

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

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.

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...

15/15 the 2nd try.  ;D

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

I have the mega drive version just because it has that famous 'engrish'  ;D . And actually it's quite an enjoyable version, other than being a bit easier than the arcade version...

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.

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