Scavenger Hunt

Big thanks to Simon for guest-hosting on Episode #122.5, it was great to have him in the studio again. I'll have John do a post about his next topic, User-Generated Content, but in the mean time, here's a nice scavenger hunt for you guys. The prize for the correct answer (we will randomly draw if there is more than one) will be a Mario Galaxy Coin and a T-Shirt. Good hunting!

Scavenger Hunt! (updated with correction)

Find the ninth system in the GameBoy lineup, according to Wikipedia.

That system’s Wikipedia page describes two cables that were needed for multiplayer capabilities on this console. Find the price of the second cable.

On gamerankings.com, find the N64 title who’s review score is second-closest to the numbers of the price of this cable. Example: If the cable costs $4.50, find the game who’s review score is second-closest (smallest mathematical difference) to 45.00.

This game’s main male character is also the name of a movie released last year. Find the actor who played the character credited as “RPG Nerd” in this movie.

This actor was in multiple movies released in the same year as the Slimline PS2. Find the first movie of that year that this actor was in.

The name of this movie is the same as that of a band from Austrailia. Find the title of the only album that this band released in South America in the same year from the previous clue.

Find a blog who’s name is the same is the same as that of the album.
On this blog’s parent company’s website, find their only videogame reviewed that is rated Early Childhood by the ESRB, and is not specified to be on one particular system, handheld, or the PC.

Find IGN’s review of this game, on the system who’s most direct competition was the first home console mentioned in this scavenger hunt.

From this review, email to us the publication date and the person who signed off on the review.
Good luck!

-Phil
