7/7 here, but it's not exactly hard.

7/7 too.

I'm questioning the answer to number 5. Pac-Man outsold Space Invaders? Really?

I wondered about that too, but I do vaguely remember reading it somewhere else. Quite hard to believe though, as SI was everywhere BITD.

Pacman was in arcades longer than Space Invaders.

In addition, Space Invaders had grossed $2 billion in quarters by 1982,[22] while Pac-Man had grossed over $1 billion by 1981[28] and $2.5 billion by the late 1990s.[29][30] In 1982, Space Invaders was considered the highest-grossing entertainment product of its time, with comparisons made to the then highest-grossing film Star Wars,[22][31] which had grossed $486 million,[31] while Pac-Man is today considered the highest-grossing arcade game of all time.

Tetris - not something I knew

6/7

I guessed Space Invaders. I had read it before but couldn't remember which it was that made the most dosh!

 

[digweed]

Only 5/7 for me

Got the first two questions wrong, I'll go hide in shame!

 

[big10p]

Must admit I half guessed the Tetris one. I knew the tune was an old Russian song, but had no idea what the song was about.

I also thought Space Invaders made the most cash!

Me three.. also thought SI was the highest of all time.
Also got the Tetris theme tune question wrong.

Nice quiz though.

6/7 and same one wrong as most it seems. I thought Space Invaders made the most money. It was in the arcades longer than Pacman, of the arcades I went in anyway.

 

[sosfx]

5/7 didn't know about the Tetris, and I thought that Space invaders would have made more money!

 

[TWB]

7/7, I guessed the Tetris one. I have read before that Pac-Man was the highest grossing game of all time but I think that through the golden age years Space Invaders would have taken more.

Nice quiz thanks for posting.
