The $640,000 Question

[Doctor Who]

That'd be one nice vacation, that much I'll say. Well, we're just wasting time now, let's get on with the game!

*fanfare as we walk to the podiums*

First question, for $640:

Among other franchises, the Star Wars saga was recreated in a set of video games using what brand of toys?
A: Lego
B: K'nex

[VioiV]

Lego, as I used to play them myself!

[Doctor Who]

That's right.

(orchestra plays first fanfare)

I'm not even going to bother counting out the money, because I'm assuming you want to go on, am I right?

[VioiV]

Please. Go on

[Doctor Who]

We're going into some video game history now.

Which of these seventh-generation game CONSOLES came first?
A: Wii
B: Playstation 3
C: Xbox 360

[VioiV]

Damn, second question and im stumped! Il go for Xbox 360?

[Doctor Who]

Actually, that's right!

(orchestra plays second fanfare, I count out $1,280 in cash)

You just doubled your money - do you want to try and double it again?

[VioiV]

Yeah lets carruy on!

[Doctor Who]

Next question, then, for $2,560, same number of choices.

This popular Super Nintendo game was known as "Mother 2" in Japan. What is this game's North American title?

A: Actraiser
B: Earthbound
C: Harvest Moon

[VioiV]

Well....
I never heard of Actraiser
Harvest moon it definitely isnt
But on SSBB it said something about Ness from Earthbound
so i think its Earthbound.

[Doctor Who]

Good thinking, you've got the money!

(orchestra plays third fanfare, I count out $2,560 in cash)

Now you can take that or go to your last multiple choice question for $5,120. It's your choice.

[VioiV]

Well ive racked up enough. But! another multiple choice couldnt hurt! Lets go on!

[Doctor Who]

Fair enough. Here is your question...

According to Zero Wing's infamous English translation, who "set up us the bomb"?
A: Somebody
B: He
C: We
D: They

[VioiV]

I Know This!!!
Is it somebody or they??? Ummm ima go for somebody!

[Doctor Who]

And that...


is right!

(orchestra plays last fanfare, I count out $5,120 in cash)


And there's your money at the end of the multiple choice section. You CAN take that and go on a decent vacation, OR, if you want to, you can go for $10,000 on a single part open-ended question. So what do you want to do?

[VioiV]

Sorry about abscence.. If your still here il carry on.?

[Doctor Who]

OK then. For $10,000...


I'm going to give you a description of a game. Your job is to name the game.

(I read the card)

This PlayStation game follows Serge as he tries to find his way back to his own time dimension, meeting some interesting people along the way. It is the sequel to a popular 1995 SNES game.

For $10,000, what is this game?

[VioiV]

Oh... Snap.

Chromo trigger?

[Doctor Who]

Oh, god. You were that close...

(AUDIENCE GROANS)

You pretty much had the title of the original game, Chrono Trigger. We were looking for Chrono Cross. And that puts you back to $320.

(I'll be altering the money tree slightly starting with the next game, FTR)

Did you enjoy your time here, though?

[VioiV]

Ahhh well. At least I had fun here! Thanks for being a great host!
