Full House Plays Through The Never Released Montezano's Quest
Following up the "TV Show Weirdness" item in yesterday's GameSetLinks round-up, here's another strange and fabricated video game that appeared on a television show but not on any real-life store shelves: Montezano's Quest (not to be confused with Montezuma's Revenge, which this might be based on).

"No new possibilities will open up with one more game." He continues, "W
