Old School vs. New School Video Game Trivia Quiz is a skill quiz on the Play Nintendo website.[1] In this quiz, the player has to answer several trivia questions about various classic Nintendo games released before the 2000s. Often, the questions note differences from these classic games in newer installments of the same series.
Overview[edit]
The player is given a total of seven questions to answer. Each question provides four answers to choose from, with only one of them being the correct answer. The player has to press "Check Answer" to see if the answer they selected is correct. If they selected the correct answer, their answer will be highlighted green. If the player answered incorrectly, the answer that they chose will be highlighted red, and the correct answer will be highlighted green. At the end of the quiz, a message will pop up saying how many questions the player got out of seven. The player then can choose to retake the quiz or to take a different quiz on the website.

Correct answers are marked with a green border. Messages displayed in the quiz for answering a question right or wrong are also shown.

Results[edit]
- 0/7 - 1/7: You’re totally new school! Maybe you know more about recently released games. But that just means you’ve got a good reason to check out some of the old-school games your parents may have played.
- 2/7 - 3/7: You’re old AND new school! There’s still more for you to learn about video games from way back when, but that just means you can ask your mom or dad to show you how they used to play.
- 4/7 - 7/7: You’re totally old school! Nailed it. You know an awful lot about what was happening in video games way back when. Maybe your parents will want to take this quiz with you. Then you can see how much they know!
