11/12... missed Gauntlet, not even sure I've ever heard of it. Pretty easy quiz for me, graduated HS in '81 & was in boot camp two weeks later which makes for a pretty good reference point in time.

Missed on Donkey Kong. Man I miss some of these games.

These games weren't the earliest. I remember the very first video game in the 1950's. I would be on the couch watching my parents sit on the floor in front of the TV playing UNSCRAMBLE.
"Honey try the vertical hold".
"No damn it, let's try the horizontal hold again."

LOL Brady's and Their Bunch. It's the regular series. I saw that too.
I saw a similar article on sitcomsonline.
Confirms the yahoo story, mentions the Feb 13 plan, and says GI returns late Feb. The only difference between the two articles is the GI return in late Feb, and no "according to source".
