Comment 1:A promotional postcard was issued prior to the release of the Trivia Game and was available from K Mart, Target, Myer, Grace Bros, Big W and Toys'R'US and is highly collectible.
Comment 2:The Trivia Game was not released in many countries, making it collectible. Apart from Australia, it was released, as a limited edition, in United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Holland, Belguim and South Korea.
Rating:Medellia:
Ian: An interesting idea that suffers from a longevity problem. Just how many times can it be played? Once you know the answers, it quickly loses much of it's appeal. I overcame this problem by using questions from the trivia book "The Unauthorized X-Files Challenge". Also the game was quickly out-of-date, covering episodes from seasons 1-3 only. It was released as "First Edition" so another game covering seasons 4 onwards might be released at a later date.
