And there were two others I should have gotten but got tricked by how "easy" the right answer stood out in a sea of weaker choices. I thought it was a trick! Not as hard as advertised, really.

Yes, I knew this was going to be hard for most gamers, but then again, BB-ers aren't most gamers. Stevezilla hit it on the head when he said some of the choices were just too obscure, which I hoped would help you narrow things down. Ah, well, at least the tunes are fun to listen to, right? BTW, you can now buy many of these games in a single joystick for under $20! I got one for my son at Target, but they're available at Amazon, etc. too... http://www.amazon.com/Jakks-Namco-Arcade-Classics-Plug-Games/dp/B00009VDXX I’m surprised there aren’t more 100%s yet.
