A little bit weird, a little bit political with a lot of humor.
Now this is esoteric

As a followup to How well do you know your Classic Games, I thought I would also post another of the quizzes from the PBS story site. It was decent fun and a lively trip down memory lane.

How did I do? I am a bit of a geek so I got 11/18 right on the little flash quiz. Basically, you listen to a short sound clip from a classic arcade/console game and you have to choose which of the three available options it was. Some of them were really hard, others, if you ever played that game, you know it IMMEDIATELY. I mean, some sounds you never forget... hehe.

So why don't you try it out as well and post how well you did....

It is available here:

I got all of them correct. Yeah, video games were the fifth food group for me as a kid, although I had to think REALLY hard on a couple of them (the E.T. one was especially hard). It also helps to have MAME installed on this PC so I can still play all of these old games of my past.

Oh ET... what a crappy game that was.... although I still think Raiders of the Lost Ark was a worse use of a great movie tie-in.
