This was great! I got 6 out of 10, but I never really played much, just watched my friends. Still, did anyone actually get the Super Mario Bros. one wrong??

Only got 6/10. When I was younger, video games were a strict sound-off operation. We had 2 TVs in the same room, one for gaming, one for TV watching, and the TV watching TV always won out as far as sound was concerned.
Were it not for the 4 gimmes that closed out the quiz, I would have done awfully awful!

8/10 – I liked this quiz a lot. Thanks.

Thanks for including a gimmee — Super Mario Bros. I got Sonic the Hedgehog and a couple others as well, but I was happy to know that I was going to get at least one right when I saw Mario up there!
Wait — reading Kevin’s note — the last four were gimmees? I only got two of them…

Thanks for confirming it– I’m a huge nerd. :)

8 out of 10. Not bad. I missed the one with Excitebike, Pro Wrestling and one other one. And I missed the racing one.

10/10 – I didn’t even have to guess on any of them. I’m definitely a geek
