Also, the ET question was more of an 80s pop culture question than a game question because nobody actually played the videogame.

I don't remember any otters or lady frogs in that game. Guess I never was that good at it.

But, man, did I play the crap out of every other game in that quiz.

I was expecting something geekier or more obscure and esoteric...

And yes, I pretty much lived my 80s childhood full-time in the arcades/7-11/chuck-e-cheese/putt-putt/movie theater...Hell, even grocery stores, bus stations and airports had games back then...

Too bad no Asteroids or Defender questions, those were my personal brand of heroin.
