* NintendoHard: The Trail of Time wasn't this in theory, but it became this in execution. The time pilot would stand in one of six gates and be asked a history question with two answers (Example: It's 1939, what epic movie has its premiere in Atlanta: ''Film/GoneWithTheWind'' or ''{{Film/The Ten Commandments|1956}}?'') If they got the answer right, the gate opened, but if they didn't, they had to perform some time-consuming manual task such as pulling up a rock with a rope. It became downright maddening when they decided to scatter the gates in a big mess, without any type of trail on the ground (lights would flash on the appropriate gate, and the Engine Crew would point the pilot there with airport flashlights). It's led some to believe that PBS deliberately made the whole thing confusing to avoid paying out the grand prize.
** A number of the questions relate to some of the clues given in the main game. So, it's possible to win with a lack of knowledge if you've been paying attention all game.
