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:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natarsha_Belling
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia
http://en.wikipedia.org/w...Category:Island_countries
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Japan
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan
http://en.wikipedia.org/w...e_and_technology_in_Japan
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation
http://en.wikipedia.org/w...st_of_PlayStation_1_games
http://en.wikipedia.org/w...ia:_Symphony_of_the_Night

Took me 11 pages...Interesting way to pass some time.

I found it funny though that the SMB page had links to SMB2 and SMW but not SMB 3.

You might as well use the search function, I'm sure that'd be even faster. Wink
