Retro toys quiz

This is a retro toys quiz of the Excel variety. I can't upload the file because it's over 1MB

Just click on this link, download and start playing. No need to worry, it's safe and legit.

See how many you can get. So far I've only got 45/100 with 6 close (you'll see what I mean when you start playing it

Kolodny

Damn that's hard! So many I should know but just can't think of the names. I was quite suprised how easily I remembered some of them though - and it's been a very long time!

63/100 with 8 close.

trout

i'm brutal ... 41 out of 100 with 4 close.

for some reason the clues don't appear for me ... not that it would have helped much!

no ... how do i get the answers ?

Trode

Wow, that's quite the mullet Barbie's sporting in that picture.

I've got 76 and 2 close so far, but a couple of those were lucky guesses. If you have a few close, it's worth noting that it's picky about plural or singular.

As far as I can tell, clicking on the clues just brings up a vaguely related web search(so clicking on the clue for 15 will get you about what you'd get by typing
rollerskate into Yahoo or Google.

Also, things like the company name is also important for the Roller skate
