Good suggestions, keep 'em comin guys.. Has anyone actually installed
and played with this yet? Or does the lack of an easy installer scare
everyone off?

Well I just got done putting it on system and here is my expereince so far. Not too bad. . .

Install
I had some problems finding space on the system to put the files. After you posted to Tony's questions, I put it on one of the drives and didn't have any problems with the rest of the install. Hopefully using one of the installers or an install script like Franks does may help.

First Run
The first time I ran it, it showed up in the menu fine. I did get an error on the command line like 'rc something something' but just ignored it. But when I went to run the software from the hijack menu, the system started cycling all the fids through the output screen. I pulled the power and started all over again.

Second Run
No error messages and it seemed to slide into the background without problem. Came up in the menu fine and was able to play. BTW, I will be able to fill up the Simpsons Topic really quick.

Quirky things

• The font is really small for good reason but it makes reading the questions kinda difficult. Maybe an option for larger font would help
  
• The selecting topics screen needs an easier way to get out of it instead of scrolling to the bottom of th list and selecting back. (Options:Categories)
  
• If you set the game to Survivor, after 3 questions, the whole system freezes.
  
• Scoring seems a little odd. 1 point for a right answer but -2 for a wrong answer that goes up exponetially? Is that how it is supposed to work?
  
• Wait time between questions seems long. Never really sure if the system is thinking or just crapping out. Maybe a "Waiting" Message to the screen would help alleviate the wait.
  

All in all, it's a great effort!!! Minimal bugs but still seems like some work to be done.
