Videogames have proven to be more than a fad, far beyond simple kids' stuff, and a lot of fun. For some, gaming is a casual pastime; for others it's an essential part of life. While you're probably familiar with Halo or Call of Duty, Sonic or Mario, there's more to the medium beyond these celebrated franchises and characters.

VideoGame Toribia (trivia) serves as a gateway into gaming's rich history. Each game consists of 20 multiple choice and/or true or false questions. You'll be graded on accuracy and the speed in which you complete each game. Once your game is complete, upload your score to the leaderboards and play again with a new set of questions. Over 1,200 in all!

Many questions were based on the groundbreaking videogame history book Phoenix: The Fall & Rise of Videogames, by Leonard Herman, who co-produced this app.
