Etch a Sketch and Spirograph were 1960s items, NOT 1980s.

A weird quiz. First off trying to decide if I should pick from how I thought/wanted then or now. Also, some were more kid based and some more teen or adult. Any fashion I did not care about then at all and now just barely a bit more. Finally there is the "is it for me or for someone else" as that varies especially if the other is a female. Still, it was a fun walk down memory lane.

For #2, Rubik's Cube is not a board game. It's a puzzle.

The question does state "game or puzzle".

I could have sworn it said just board games when I filled out the quiz.

60% similar. More of a survey than a quiz. Asks what would be on my wish list and I choose what I would want.

My first My Little Ponies were for Christmas. Crayola Crayons were always a must, along with Coloring Books. I'm a little disappointed not to see Care Bears on this list, though.

45% similar. But I mostly had my kids in mind while shopping. G.I. Joe and roller blades for my son. Polaroid camera and Swatch watches for my daughters. Crayons and Berenstain Bears books for my youngest.

For the last question, #12, I chose the sports gear but I would not buy baseball/football/basketball stuff. I would go straight to the hockey equipment!

53%. #1 - G.I. Joe - they started making the 12" Joe's again around then. #7 would have been another NOTA if it wasn't for Back In Black!
