Missile Command and the original Pac-Man are two of my favorite retro games. Who else had Pac-Man fever?
I loved Joust!
10 out of 10 because I put endless amounts of quarters in all of them!
9 of 10 correct. Missed the last one. My favorite past time game from the quiz would be Q-bert.
8 out of 10.

Fine. Took it again, still got 10/10!
Even today, these classics have replay value.
