March 18 12:00 AM ET The BBook of Geek Gaming Quiz By Brian Briggs This is the fifth of eight quizzes taken from the 8 pillars of geekdom (software, TV, literature, gaming, movies, science, hardware, Internet) found in The BBook of Geek. In the BBook, there are six facts listed for each of the 128 topics. Of those facts, only two are real. For the quiz, I've made it easier. You only have to tell if one fact is true or false. Answer carefully, your geekiness is at stake. Chess - In one iteration of the movie WarGame's script, WOPR plays chess instead of Tic-Tac-Toe and seeing victory, launches missiles into Russia.     True     False LEGO - LEGO bricks made today are compatible with bricks made 50 years ago.     True     False Nintendo - One of Nintendo's past businesses included a 'love hotel' which is exactly what it sounds like.     True     False Doom - The game was commissioned by the US Government to prepare people for the demon invasion from Hell that never materialized.     True     False Rubik's Cube - Since 1988 it's been a requirement that all US presidential candidates be able to solve the Rubik's Cube in order to be deemed qualified for office.     True     False First Video Game - One of the earliest dedicated video game computers was the NIMROD.     True     False LARP - The fabled Knights of the Round table were some of the earliest known participants in LARP-type games.     True     False Nethack - Some of the literature reference in Nethack includes Discworld, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Dune.     True     False Zork - The word 'zork' was slang for an unfinished program.     True     False Pac-Man - Several after school specials aired in the 80s, warning of the effect of Pac-Man on pill popping by teens.
