Quiz: How Well Do You Know Classic '80s Arcade Games?

9 out of 10. Not bad!

Wasn’t Wild Gunman originally some sort of projector toy that you played with a gun?

5/10 I'm really not an arcade guy hahah

5-10, yayyy, I'm not old.

8/10 which isn’t too shabby. Glad I got the OutRun question, that’s my favourite arcade game ever and one of my favourite OSTs too.

5 but to be fair I’d never seen Terminator or wreck it Ralph

I got an 8 life is good! X

Wooo, 9/10! I would say I got my G-name arcade games mixed up, but I'm lucky to even have gotten as far as I did, considering I've played almost none of those.

I got 3/10. I really need a hobby 🤔

Got a 9/10 , would've gotten a 10/10 if I looked harder at the spelling of Puck-Man, I put Pack-Man down instead.

I'm tempted to try the quiz this time around, with this topic so near to my heart, and I was most definitely an arcade kid, but results on the previous quizzes definitely did not serve as the best of incentives, so I'll pass...

7/10. I got the Donkey Kong one wrong when I shouldn’t have.

Great arcade selections on the Switch. Still need Defender, QBert, Robotron, and the Space Invaders game in Japan to come to North America.

7/10 for me. I've never seen any Terminator movies, have never played "Out Run," and am not a fan of classic SHMUPs save for "Galaga," but I nailed all the rest.

9/10 - Not seen Wreck It Ralph lol.

That was hard even for long-term game nerd. But I am loving the quiz articles! Keep em' coming.

7/10 is not that bad I guess. I guessed on a few and got them right lol.

5/10 for me.
I've never been big on arcade games so I'll take it gladly 😄

8/10. Clyde is orange.

I like these mini quizzes

@Goat_FromBOTW I'd argue it's a different game from the same series.

8 out of 10. Got a few quasi lucky guesses.

10/10!!!!! Just wanted to add that I absolutely love the Outrun soundtrack!!!!

10/10.. 3 quizes in a row, 10/10. Nice..

1) I've known this since the 80s.
2) This one is famous, for obvious reasons
3) A classic game, for sure
4) Obvious, especially if you've played all of the game options
5) Another obvious one. Don't even need to know the arcade versions to guess this.
6) A classic scene, and, I used to play that same arcade machine
7) This one might trick some people, but if you remember the Konami Code, you'll remember the right answer.
8) I know this story well
9) Don't even have to play any of the games, if you've seen the movie
10) Honestly, this one was a guess to me, as its been a while since I've played this game, let alone at the arcade, and I didn't remember the names of any of the songs. So, total guess.

@Goat_FromBOTW yes on arcade

6/10, not bad considering how I didn't grow up in that era.

8/10. And it's been a looooong time since I last played OutRun, so I'm glad I got number 10.

8/10

Don't think I've ever seen Terminator 2 all the way through, and have never played OutRun.

6/10
Some I had no clue. Some i guessed and some I knew.

8 out of 10. Never heard of radar scope and have no idea what Out Run is

9/10, didn’t know about the Donkey Kong arcade cabinets.

6/10..I'm pretty happy about that cuz I was beginning to feel old..

5 out of 10, I grew up in the 80s but hit the the 1980 at only 2 years old. I did not really start hitting the Acades until the fighting genre took off. They kept me coming back more then Rygar and the beat em ups. I also hated playing shmups in the arcade. But loved them on home consoles.

10/10, come on now

I admit though the Wreck-it-Ralph one almost got me since I've only seen it once in the theater. But yeah, can't have DK in the same movie as Ralph.

My arcade initials since ~1988, LEO

9/10, the T2 question tripped me up as I remembered John playing Missile Command and his friend playing Afterburner, but actually he took it over from John. D’oh!

7 out of 10. Higher than I thought I would get. I was mad I got Clyde wrong. I was about to hit orange then all of the sudden I switched it to blue. Classic not going with my gut feeling. You think I would have learned that after all those years in school lol.

Forget arcade knowledge, all y’all need to watch Terminator 1&2 (and Wreck-It-Ralph is good, too).

I didn't get a perfect score because I don't have movie knowledge. But I got right all the actual game questions.

Scott Pilgrim gave me the Puck man answer.

7/10, I got trick by the T2 question. I remembered John Connor was playing Missile Command, as it was some sort of metaphor for the story.

10 outta 10! Woo-Hoo! Being the GameOtaku has never been so satisfying!

10/10! Whoo! Heck yeah!

10 out of 10 baby!

7 out of 10.

I got their colors confused.
Never seen T2 but I really want to.
That Wreck-It-Ralph character was mentioned but not seen so i thought.

9/10, I don't know Outrun.

6/10

Pretty good, as I didn't know the T2, Outrun soundtrack, & Konami ip questions. Also, I shouldn't have gotten Clyde's color wrong, but my brain temporarily said pink. I like these.

got the movie and music ones wrong

The question I was most confident that I knew... I got wrong. I specifically remembered John Connor playing Missile Command because it was foreshadowing the coming nuclear apocalypse. I didn't realize that he had played two different games, and After Burner is a lot less relevant to the plot. But I guess that's OK. Dark Fate killed John Conner and made it clear he never really mattered anyway.

5 out of 10. i got wreck it Ralph right. since i did watch the hole movie,

@Goat_FromBOTW It was! It used live action movie footage for the gameplay. It’s considered a lost game since there are no surviving cabinets of the game. Here is a flyer for it.

Woah, 9 out of 10! I feel kind of bad for screwing up the Pac-Man ghosts, because there were several other questions (like that Reddit Ralph thing) that I totally guessed on but somehow got right.

8/10. I’m surprised how many people here say they never saw T2 or Wreck it Ralph. You people need to watch these great movies!

Hmmm, 2

Aight, I'ma head out

8/10.

I've never seen T2 and never played Out Run. The rest were pretty easy, though.

7/10 thanks to Clyde, Wreck-It Ralph and the Donkey Kong cabinet. Really loved playing arcade games in the '80s too.

I got 8/10, which isn't bad at all, but I'd definitely have gotten the Terminator question wrong if After Burner wasn't the first choice.

A 7, I think that's not to bad.

8 out of 10 and only because I still never seen the wreck it Ralph movie so i had to guess!

@Dr_Corndog in case you didn’t know Outrun IS on Switch now lol. Check it out 😊
My brother been calling me Corndog for years! Lol

@kingbk would KILL for Robotron on Switch!! All time fave! In fact we need all the Atari/Midway arcade classics!! You listening Warner Brothers??

4/10, not the biggest arcade game fan but good quiz!
