You have been picked for the video game riddle!

Yes you have. As team unfiction you have been challenged to go to freewebs.com/videogameriddle/ and try to get passed level 50 before the other teams. Who are they?

Team G4:
Enemy of gamefaqs for some reason, they are the the loyal fans of G4TV. They maybe be underdogs, but hey, they are a crafty bunch.

Team gamefaq:
Enemy to G4 for some reason, they know all there is to know about video games, but can they puzzle trail?

Team EGM:
Fans of the best video game mag around. If the staff themselfs jump in, they could win this easy.

Team Fairplay:
They lie cheat and steal. They are most likely going to hit other peoples boards to find hints so be careful not to post to much. IF YOU ARE READING THIS TEAM FAIRPLAY YOU ARE JUST PROVING ME RIGHT!!!!

So good luck to you team unfiction. The puzzle trail is calling.

err, your first level got me stuck. I've tried everything relating to the konami code, including the code itself as a url, and nothing is working.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
From what i gather, it's 100 coins for a 1up, 5 dragon coins for a 1up, 10 koopas (in succession) for a 1up, and the mushroom is the 1up from SMB1. Doing the math indicated, i would take the answer to mean 5001, but that doesn't seem to be working.

Well, I'm not sure I have gotten anywhere, after all. Unless this thing drills into a single freewebs site, it may be near impossible to "find" the trail. Just increasing the ordinal in the name of the first page gets you two new pages/sites on the first two tries. My assumption was they wanted the game for which the code got it's name, which takes you to yet another "site".

EDIT: So far out of my league, it's not even funny. Good luck, guys. Smile

You know you are right when you see the level title at the top. No level title, no go.

Come on team unfiction, You are miles behind.

I see that I've made it to the same level jamesi is (or was) on if his post is any indication. I don't know who the last guy is, but the other four are
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Cammy, Raiden (Rayden), Luigi, and Jill.


EDIT: OK, I figured out who the fifth guy is
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Edward Carnby from Alone in the Dark
but it gave me a site that said that I was missing info. Then I looked at the Level 11 page source and realized what it was wanting.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It wants the first names of the actors who played those characters in the various movies. So Kylie, Christopher, John, Sienna, and Christian.
