So think of a video game, any game you want.

I'm thinking of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

Next, open up a random Wikipedia page with this link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Randompage

From there navigate from that random page using only links from Wiki articles until you reach the game you are thinking of, then post the link history:
