how many do you get right?
I got 18 out 33
dont count partials it just makes it easier

I got 3.

I got 20 out of 32.  I'm not counting the first question because I don't have speakers hooked up to my computer so I can't answer it.

Got 19 myself, not REALLY my era :P

way before my era

I only missed 5 :girl:

To be honest, I prolly woulda missed a few more if I hadn't read the Ultimate History of Video Games...lol

Did anybody else catch the spelling error on the Metroid question?  It just leads to all sorts of drinking jokes.

I got 24.

Gauntlet is mispelled as well.

Is this an english class now because you know I suck in english class.

I only missed 3, but I dont agree with the "sequel to Galaxian" question. It says Galaga, but there are actual numbered sequels to Galaxian.

I got 20. I am not a big arcade person.

I looked at it and ran away.

I got 20 out of 33 as well. Some of those are tough.

Here is a new one from PBS.

Jesus, those hard questions are impossible.  I only got 1 out of 5.

This is odd. The medium setting was easier for me then the easy.

Easy I got 4 on medium I got 10 and changed 2 of my answers before I hit submit. On hard I got 2.

I got 6 out of 7 on easy.
12 out of 14 on medium
I got 1 on hard.

I got 7 of 7 on easy
10 of 14 on medium
1 on hard

6 out of 7 on easy
6 out of 14 at medium

7 out of 7 on easy
6 out of 7 on medium
5 out of 5 on hard

That Robotron question was especially easy for me (I'm addicted), as was Mappy, Venture, and Missle Command. I guessed on the Reactor one cause I knew who it wasn't....lol Super dork? Yea I read a lot of video game history books *shrug*

So hey guys out of curiousity.. Which question did ya get right on hard?

Holy Dork!!!!!

I don't remember. Give me a run down of them and i would though.

BTW you suck you missed a medium.

Yea I know. I let myself down on that one...lol

I got the Robotron question right.  It was one of my favorite arcade games as a kid.

On medium you had to Answer 10 out of 14 so whats with the  6 of 7 on medium?

Anyone do the Name That Game sound clip quiz?

http://www.pbs.org/kcts/videogamerevolution/arcade/name/index_flash.html

I got 15 of 18 correct.

Same for me 15 out of 18.
The ones with the synth voice i had no clue.

15 of 18

9 of 18

For easy and medium levels there were only 7 questions and on hard there were 5. That's how many I got for each level.

18 out of 18. I actually had to stop and think about the level 1 sounds for a min but found the other two levels too easy. Anyone else think the 2nd and 3rd levels were easier?

They all sounded like I should know them but I only got 12 out of 18.

Odd when I did the medium levet there where 14 questions.

There were indeed 14.

I am surprized i do as well and better than almost everyone considering how i have probably not seen(or played) most of these games in real life.

Thanks I thought I was going crazy.

Yea. Count the questions - it totals up the correctly answered questions from the previous level with those from the current level. I counted the number of questions for each level individually *shrug*

The questions in the easy level are numbered 1 thru 7 and then 1 thru 14 in medium level.  For a total of 21 questions (not counting hard).  What am I missing?
