Frogger taught me how to jaywalk...

RetroCrush has a great quiz on some classic (and some not-so-classic) video games.

Ah, this really takes me back. I remember sitting with my brother at my dad's old work (he worked in--not for--a hotel that his boss owned), playing the cocktail cabinet Space Invaders game that the hotel manager would add like 100+ credits to.

I shudder to think of exactly how much money I've spent on coin-op videogames over my entire lifetime. I don't know if I'm exaggerating when I say it's probably over $10,000.

Is that sad?

Feh...I had fun.

Is that pathetic?

All I know is that when I was younger, I wouldn't be caught dead playing a game with duckies and bunnies (#19), unless their deaths were involved somehow...
