Can you name these board games from the '70s?

Take a Risk, you won't be Sorry!

 

It's a Friday night in 1978. You've got a big pizza, and all your family and friends gathered around for some tabletop entertainment. You crack open a couple of cans of soda, turn on your favorite record, and let the games begin.

Meh!...4/10 I don't remember hardly ANY of these boardgames, however, "Think-Thunk" somehow stands out. Now, that's really going deep into the memory bank vaults of my mind. I believe I remember seeing it advertised during the Saturday morning cartoon line-up of cartoons during commercial break. Ah, the good ole dayz!

I had "Happiness." The object was to get rid of all your hangups.

5/10, that Bermuda Triangle game looks interesting. I don't think I have heard of any of these. with my Grandkids I play Chutes and Ladders, Candyland, Operation, Jr. Monopoly and Scrabble. We also play one where a dog poops.

A few comments: I believe all the answers in 2 are characters in Disney's Inside Out...LOL! I'm pretty sure no one would buy 4 if it were called Math Class! Maybe I would have because THAT was my best subject in school..LOL again! And 7 clearly was a spinoff of Creepy Crawlers, a molding toy from the '60's!
PS The reason that most of the games mentioned below weren't in the quiz is because they were either BEFORE or AFTER! Would you believe Monopoly goes back to the '30's?

4/10. I was a kid in the 70's and don't think I ever saw one of these. Of course we were busy riding bikes,climbing trees and imitating the latest moves we saw on wrestling.

4 out of 10. I don't remember any of those board games. I played board games like Clue, Life, Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble, and Boggle. I also liked card games: Cribbage, Hearts, Freecell, Solitaire, Crazy Eights.

I don't remember any of those games.
I guess I was too busy running through the woods in our back yard to play board games in the 70's.

8/10 I got frustrated on #2 and psyched out on #9.
I recognized half of them, probably from ads (esp. the slime game). But, I never played any of these.
