how about a molex connector? You could always label it as well, so you don't do that screwup you mentioned :)

Well as far as the gameboy link cable idea, you could get a male and a female end from one of those Gameboy Advance multitap things.

Check your local GameStop or EB for that cable. I got one in the used GameBoy accessories pile for a buck a little while back.

You could use one of those headphone-video jacks, like in the PSOne screen

Mini-DIN, DIN and microphone cables come to mind for not-so-standard but easy-to-find connectors.

Molex is nice. Milli-Connects are my favorites.

Maybe use a keyboard/mouse connector from an old keyboard/mouse and rip one out of an old PC for the console side. Total cost: FREE.

Alternative total cost: I'll ship you that junk for $1.50.

Use wood and carve out a connector and then drill holes for the pins 8)

Use some heavy duty wire for the pins (you know, that industrial stuff that is just barely bendable)
I'd imagine right now you wish you were a cuttlefish...
