Can you guess which toys debuted in the 1970s?

When were these under your Christmas tree?

Is it just us, or do they just not make toys like they used to? Everything seems to require batteries now.

This quiz lists some of our favorite childhood toys and it's up to you to guess whether they were released in the 1970s or not. Be careful, some might not be as old as you think they are!

11/12. I did great on the ones that were *older* than the '70s. The more recent ones, not so much.

No way Atari was all the rage in '72. Maybe '82 but not '72. I think we got our 2600 around 1980-1981? Pong wasnt popular until '74, correct?
Initial release date: November 29, 1972. Official release date 1975.

The question wasn't asking if it was "all the rage", It asked if kids played it in the 1970s. Even if it came out in 1979 that is still the 1970s.
