  1. 9/10! Only one I missed was the sports one. Great quiz, guys!

  2. Is it sad when I can play the tune and go “Well, it’s gotta be this one, since I own the other two (still) and that song isn’t in either of them”? And then it happened to me multiple times over the course of that quiz.

    Missed one, never a fan of racing games…

    Great quiz, need more video games on here!!

  3. 8/10. I wish I got 0/10 to be honest.

  4. Woo! 100%

  5. 9/10–and I really should’ve gotten the Galaga, but I never really got into that game.

    There were a few I didn’t recognize, but because I played the other choices I was able to get them.

    I have waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many games at home, about 12 systems and a few thousand games in my basement “museum”–all set up and ready to play at any time!

  6. Hmmmmm…… Maybe they need to start breaking the quizzes into generations! I guess I am too old to know these. The only video game we had was Pong. blip. blip. blip. Who doesn’t know that tune? ;-)

  7. Oh rats… I got 60% on this (>_>)”

    I didn’t played some of the games featured there like Commando or the Original Zelda.

    Anyways, nice quiz :)

  8. 8 out of 10

    Its kinda funny that I’m a kid that grew up with N64/Gamecube era, sO I was surprised by how easy and fun this was.
    Keep up the the good work guys!
