Geocache Description:

There's no school like the old school! Playing 80's video games with my kids is a fun experience. They are in awe when Dad pulls out his mad arcade skills. My ability to perfectly time jumps and repeatedly tap a fire button like a woodpecker searching for termites, leaves them breathless. These skills were honed from hours of mis-spent youth and bags of quarters. I'm talking about the arcade.


To solve this puzzle, you will need to remember/research which video games these are from and apply simple math where required. If Asteroids was listed, it would have a value of "1". Will you 1UP your smiley count or GAME OVER? Have fun!
