A Quiz For All You Retro Heads Out There...

[argon0]

Just came across this Excel picture quiz which has a goodly selection of Console's over the years - you have to name them...

The first one is from 1972!! - a MagnaVox Odysssey - anybody got an emulator for that?

The quiz is at http://quiz.iplac.co.uk/index.php?id=2&filter=32 - right near the bottom called "computer and console timeline" - There are also Quizzes about Games - mainly Ninty ones.

Post your scores!! - (so far we've managed 18/36 on the Computer/Console quiz)

I got 88% on the nintendo games one. Would have got more but couldn't remember how to spell a few of them!

 

[manu_pkp]

34/36

But it's a bit unfair since I have 80% of those
I knew one more, but I just can't figure out how it wants me to write Acorn BBC A there...

Clearly a British quiz, so many Speccys

And oh yeah - Odyssey emu

33/36 with 2 close.

I can't believe I could not get the 2600 in there. I also have no idea what that second thing is.

24 out of 36 with 3 close (the Atari, BBC, and Aquarius (dunno who made it))

I've tried every combination I can think of for the first 2, but nothing seems to work, and could find out the last with a but of hunting around. No idea on the 1992 machine, 1990 (thought it was an MSX), 73, 75, 76, 79 (thought that was a Colecovision), 80 (it looks exactly the same as the 78) or 88.

Manu: the word "Model" helps... but I can't work it out either.

24 out of 36 with 3 close (the Atari, BBC, and Aquarius (dunno who made it))

The Atari and BBC are the two I have as close as well. I tried like every imaginable combination.

Got it....Atari Video Computer System

BBC Micro Model B

35/36....Now if I could just figure out what that second thing was.
