Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In this game, your name is Zeke and you must rescue Zelda from the wild animals that are on the loose. Use your bricks to build a wall to trap the animals or dodge coconuts thrown at you by the monkey that's playing next to the palm tree. Which arcade game are you playing?

Answer: Zoo Keeper

There are four levels in this game. The first level requires you to build a wall around the zoo and use your net to trap the animals. On the second level, you must make your way up the moving ledges while dodging coconuts thrown at you by the monkey.

The third level is the same as the first. On the fourth level, you must jump over charging animals that come out of their cages at the end of the escalator on each floor.
2. This game requires you to build a bridge over a river of fire while battling flying gargoyles. Once you complete your bridge, you will cross over onto another screen and you get to fight Satan himself, as he rains tridents down upon you. Into which game did you insert your quarter to play?

Answer: Satan's Hollow

Every time you kill a gargoyle, you acquire a piece of the bridge. Sometimes, after you kill all of the gargoyles, you'll get to battle Lucifer, Old Nick, or Beelzebub as they breathe streams of fire at you. Once the mini-boss is dispatched, you will cross the bridge and battle Satan. Once Satan is defeated, you will return to the main screen and start over, only with increased difficulty.
3. In this game, based upon a movie of the same name, you will battle light cycles, grid bugs, tanks, and the MCP cone. What game are you playing?

Answer: Tron

This video game has four different games per level. You control a light cycle that leaves a blue trail. The object is to force the enemy light cycles to crash into each other, or a trail, while avoiding crashing yourself. In the grid bug game, you must kill the bugs and escape into the tower before time runs out. During the tank portion of the game, you must destroy all enemy tanks and then drive into the transporter.

When you play the MCP cone game, you must destroy all of the colored blocks and move your character into the cone.
4. In this animated laserdisc game, you are Dirk the Daring and your mission is to rescue Princess Daphne from the evil dragon, Singe. What game is this?

Answer: Dragon's Lair

The player must guide Dirk using any combination of joystick directions and button pushes. There are over 200 decisions to make, and the right choices will lead you to your ultimate prize, while a wrong decision means instant death. "Dragon's Lair" is on of three video games in the Smithsonian Institute. The other two are "Pong" and "Pac-Man".
5. Grab the steering wheel and "prepare to qualify". In this game, you race around the Fuji course until your time runs out. What is the name of this game?

Answer: Pole Position

In "Pole Position", you drive a qualifying lap and, based upon your finish, you are seeded for the main race. During this game you must drive while dodging other cars and roadside hazards. The faster you finish your current lap, the more time is added for you to complete the next lap.
6. In this game, you are Peter Pepper and you must build hamburgers while dodging the evil Mr. Egg, Mr. Hotdog, and Mr. Pickle. Never fear, you're allowed to throw a limited supply of pepper on them to incapacitate them for a bit. What game are you playing?

Answer: BurgerTime

You must walk over each piece of the four different hamburgers in order for that piece to drop down a level and eventually reach the plates at the bottom of the screen. Once Peter assemble all of the burgers, he advances to the next stage and tries to create four new burgers, only the difficulty is increased. During the game, he is harassed by eggs, pickles, and hot dogs.
7. In this game, you are a Tarzan-like figure that must swing upon vines, navigate crocodile-infested water, dodge boulders, and deal with a pair of cannibals while attempting to rescue the female prisoner. What is this game's name?

Answer: Jungle King

Because of lawsuits claiming the makers of "Jungle King" used the likeness of Tarzan without permission, two spin-off games were made. "Jungle Hunt" featured an adventurer in a pith-helmet and safari jacket that would swing upon ropes instead of vines during the first challenge. Also made was "Pirate Pete" that had the same challenges, only the main character was a pirate.
8. This controversial game, due to the blood and gore, allowed you to fight an opponent and hopefully achieve a "Flawless Victory" or even a "Fatality". If you're tough enough, you may fight Goro and then Shang Tsung. Which game am I describing?

Answer: Mortal Kombat

You will fight an opponent and, if you win, will move up the tournament ladder. Your goal is to eventually defeat the evil Shang Tsung. Each player has their own story line about why they are participating in "Mortal Kombat". If you're lucky enough, you may catch of glimpse of Peter Pan, Santa Clause, or a flying saucer, as they all make a cameo in this game.
9. You are a foul-mouthed, little orange creature. Your job is to hop on cubes and change their colors so that all the cubes in the pyramid are eventually the same color. It sounds easy, but along the way, you must watch out for Ugg, Coily, Wrongway, Slick, and Sam. What is the name of the little orange guy and the game?

Answer: Q*bert

"Q*bert" was named the #7 best video game of all-time by "Video Game Master Magazine" in 2012. The character Q*bert has made appearances in "Wreck It Ralph", "Family Guy" and "South Park".
10. Here is an easy one. This yellow video game character goes around chomping up dots, and occasionally fruit, while trying to avoid Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Sue. This massive money-making game is called what?

Answer: Ms. Pac-Man

The orange ghost in "Ms. Pac-Man" is named Sue, whereas in "Pac-Man" his name is Clyde. Unlike "Pac-Man", the mazes in "Ms. Pac-Man" change after certain levels are completed. Also, the fruits bounce around in this game, as opposed to the fruits remaining in a stationary position in "Pac-Man".
