1. If you were lucky enough, on Christmas morning 1980, you would open the present of your dreams! "The Atari 2600". Which game cartridge came along in the original package?

Answer: Combat

"Combat" was a head to head battle featuring; tanks, bi-planes, jets and options ranging from invisible tanks to bouncing walls. This game was Atari's original pride and joy.
2. Every mother knew it was worth camping outside their local toy store, just to see the look on her daughter's face when she opened her very own "_______ _____ Kid".

Answer: Cabbage Patch

This was the "must have" doll of the 80s. There were no two the same and they came with it's own birth certificate. It even smelled like a baby. If you were lucky enough you got twins! Mine was named Sara and had a brown ponytail and pink dress. :)
3. Which toy's motto taught us that "Caring is what counts"?

Answer: Care Bears

These plush bears made their debut on greeting cards.
4. Every little girl wanted to be just like her mom. Mom would clear away the coffee table every morning and would sweat to "Jane Fonda's Workout" cassette. What was the name of the kiddie line of exercise equipment made for these future gym members?

Answer: Get In Shape, Girl!

These rhythmic gymnastic ribbons and jump ropes came complete with pretty pastel instructions and even a cassette audio tape to blast, just like mom!
5. You would spend hours with your friends, on a rainy Saturday afternoon. playing this card game consisting of 108 colorful cards, including "draw two", "skip" and "reverse". "____" is its "one" word name.

Answer: Uno

The object of the game was to get rid of all your 7 cards by matching the cards in the pile. When you had one card left, you would hold your head up proud and yell "UNO!".
6. This cutie patuti started out as a cute face on a coin purse, and wound up on everything you could imagine. The more you collected, the cooler you were! What is the name of this cutie?

Answer: Hello Kitty

She was made by the Japanese company, Sanrio. Shintaro Tsuji thought of this when he was orphaned at 13 years old. When he grew up and worked for Mira, he made her for kids who yearned for heart to heart communication. Hoping she would bring joy to lonely kids.
7. Little boys would run around the house with this toy, yelling and screaming, "By the power of Grayskull, I have the power!" Which 80s action figure drove parents crazy?

Answer: He-Man

This true action figure could "power punch" by swinging back when his waist was twisted. Cool!
8. If you weren't lucky enough to have your own video game system, you would hit the arcade with a bunch of buddies to beat the high score on "Donkey Kong". Which company's slogan was "Now you're playing with power!"?

Answer: Nintendo

9. You would doodle with a plastic pen to move magnetic dust on the "Etch-a-sketch".

Answer: False

With "Etch-a-sketch" you would use two round knobs to make square figures. (How boring) But with "Magna-Doodle" you would use a plastic drawing pen and plastic stampers. (Cool!) Then after you'd shown everyone your masterpiece, you would tug on the erase bar and create another.
10. We spent hours playing with these tiny figurines. They all basically looked the same, but they would be holding different things. We would carry them in our pockets and trade them with other kids at school. Which of the following were first seen in the US as a Saturday morning cartoon in 1981?
