ZOMG!!! It's NES trivia time. photo

Look I drink...

From time to time, this makes my memory a little fuzzy. These NES games were my life as a kid. Every box of every game for almost a decade is deeply stained into my brain. Instantly, I recognized everyone of them. I just couldn't think of the names. Hit the full story to start the quiz!

Try it out for yourself and see how you do. If you miss any of the first round questions you are:

A: Too young
B: Drink too much
7: Work at... well, you can guess.
E: Drink too much

I have another test coming in a few days. Until then, Click here for an old one.

...

Were these supposed to be hard?

Gumshoe was a cute attempt at being tricky, but... Not really.

Any NES fan worth their salt knew the name of every game on this poster...

I'm sorry this is large, but I'm proving a point.
Now, who here besides me still has their R.O.B.?

For whatever reason, I got all the Easy, Medium, and impossible, but missed pretty much all the hards

Well I wasn't too young. But I was too poor to branch out past the Marios and Zelda. I recognize all the titles, though, just never played most of them.

No, No one does.

I missed Castlevania (said it was Castlevania 2, d'oh!) and called Rad Racer Ridge Racer. Got the rest.

That was way too easy, I got a perfect score. I do own over 550 NES cartridges and am I huge Nintendo fan though. Actually this quiz makes me feel pretty old, especially because those impossible questions were all for the most part popular games when I was a kid.

My next door neighbor had a Hogan's Alley arcade cabinet in her house. It's a light gun gameand it was cool, but let me tell you, it ain't no Gumshoe.

1 wrong because I spelled Wrecking Crew wrong. I am a Nintendo God - don't tell me otherwise, Internets.

I didn't do so well. I guess I didn't play enough NES when I was a kid. My mom sure didn't think that though. "Get outside!" Seriously? WTF mom.

Good times. Got all but one. I called 1942 1943. Also, I had to use hints with Rush N Attack.

I lost points for putting down Ghosts 'n' Goblins instead of Ghouls 'n' Ghosts, or the other way around. Can't really remember. It's the same frickin' thing, though!

I'm a noob, but I didn't have a lot of these games as a kid. I had mostly weird titles like Bart Simpson vs. The World and Bubble Bobble

I got 1550. Did anybody else think that the Impossible ones were easier than the Hard ones?

1400 here.... I'm a noob. I got everything but 2 right, but I used a lot of clues for a few haha. I was actually amazed I got as much as I got right, since I bought my NES out of summer job money, with just 1942, balloon fight, and got Zelda from my friend for my birthday, then sold it all to get computer games. :( When's the Genesis quiz coming up? I bought a shit ton of games for that system! SEEEEGAAAAA!
