Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix
Well before the Wii, Nintendo burrowed its way into our pop culture with classic games like The Legend of Zelda, Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! and Metroid. How well do you remember the little details?
Are you a Nintendo historian? Take the quiz. Then let us know how you did.

4. I feel slightly ashamed… Anticipation, btw, was one of my household’s favorite games. Along with Bubble Bobble!

I only got four, and like melanie thought this would be much easier.
Oh, and you missed the greatest Nintendo game of all time - Super Tecmo Bowl. IMHO, of course.

I only own three of those games (my dear little NES still sitting in a corner and going strong (well, on good days))… only got three answers right (and one of them was a guess)… subcon, wtf?

only 60%? I underestimated this quiz.
The original Legend of Zelda is still my all-time favorite video game.

Score: 100% (10 out of 10)
I still play these games (on both an emulator and the actual console). Well, all except “Anticipation” which I don’t think I’ve ever played (process of elimination got me that one).

10%! that means i only answered one right, and that was a guess! (subcon) apparently i didn’t squander nearly as much of my youth as i would have liked. fortunately, i still have the original console so i can brush up!
