Where To Watch
Are these 1980s video games or Star Trek characters?
Zaxxon, Zetar, Gorf and Korax. Where on Earth (or in space) do these names come from?
The Sixties sure had some far-out aliens on TV – some from the far reaches of space, others much closer to home. The original Star Trek brought all kinds of wonderfully weird cosmic characters to living rooms across the country, and the names of these aliens were as unique as their appearances.
A decade after Star Trek first aired, video games began sweeping the nation, both at home and at hallowed halls of buttons, neon lights and repetitive music (AKA arcades). Though the graphics were rudimentary, the premise of many games promised everything from medieval quests to space battles.
Do you remember the bizarre names of many Eighties arcade games? What about the distinctive names of Star Trek aliens? See if you can tell the difference in this quiz!

Kirk and Sulu would be unbeatable in the arcade! Did you get through all the levels of this quiz or was it game over?

I did better than the previous time that I played this quiz. YAY!
Too easy if you grew up in the 1980s. But there were some close ones like Krell, which is close to the game Krull.

TOS and '80s arcade, right up my alley!
