'80's video game quiz
http://www.pbs.org/kcts/videogamerev..._that_game.swf

Pretty cool quiz. You have to identify the game by listening to a sound clip. I got 13/18.

18/18. I should tell my parents that all those years of video-game playing finally paid off.

"Countdown humanoid, countdown intruder!" nearly brought a tear to my eye...

17/18, missed the berserk one, though to be fair, if I hadn't been playing at work and had the volume at 1%, I probably would have gotten it.

16/18 here.

Spoiler:
Stupid E.T. - I never played that game. And I thought Burgertime was just a stupid game, so I don't remember that one.

It's really amazing how clearly I can remember these. Usually I can picture the exact screen and animation that caused/accompanied the sound.

We are all complete dorks. Holy crap, what a waste of youth.

This is the wrong era for me. If they had one with NES Mega Man and Castlevania sounds I would get a perfect score. But we didn't have an Atari 2600 (we had the 800 computer with Zaxxon and Miner 2049er).

Oh please. You'd rather play stickball? Those old farts that came before us don't know what they were missing!

11/18 here. Dammit, we didn't OWN any of the pre-NES systems. Give me late 80's/early 90's!
