Ever been to these web sites? CNN has put together some great stuff on the Cold War era. Here are a few games you can play on line to test your knowledge of those years...

I did better on the earlier years. After 1960, my memory gets pretty blurred!

Well, did okay on faces, but fell apart a bit in the 70's - spent most of those years at sea.
Did okay on clips - mostly guessing by sound of language and mood of speech.
Terminology was the silliest, so naturally I did extremely well.

They did do a nice job though.
