Geocache Description:

This is the cache that I won at the ACT 2007 Cache of the Year Awards. When I won it, it just felt like it needed to be a trivia cache, so here it is.

To find this cache you will have to answer some questions about Video Games! All of the information is available on Wikipedia, although if you are unfamiliar with the world of computer gaming the process of finding the information may not be so straight forward. .
