10/10 Played many of these games as a kid but my favorites were Zaxon and River Raid.

10/10 but guessed question #10 because I've never heard of Bubble Bobble... and I think most people have never heard of it.

6/10 never played any of these games, including Pac-Man.I never even heard of most of them. Instead of arcade games, I played pool.

Miss the arcades of the 80s, spent many hours (as well as quarters 😂) having a great time! Chuck E Cheese and Aladdin’s Castle were the places to be. Never played Bubble Bobble though.

Guess I'm lying since I have the game on my play station one platform. Found it on E-Bay for a $ 1.99.
