Random game facts for 3/31/12


  • If you cheated while playing the Sega 32x version of Doom, after the game ends you're taken to a fake DOS prompt. You can't quit out of it, and the only way to escape the screen is to reset the console. If you didn't cheat, you get an extra cutscene.
  • Satoshi Tajiri, the creator of Pokemon, got the idea for the worldwide Game Boy phenomenon after collecting caterpillars as a child and watching them change into butterflies.
  • Duke Nukem 3D was one of the first games to employ a real-time audio effect to its sounds. If you went underwater, a calculated reverb was applied to sounds being played to make gunfire sound muffled and gurgly.

    In personal development, just like everything, you must expect
    to succeed. According to a September 2008 articdle from thhe Daily Racing Form, the
    renovation project involved mixing more than 14,
    500 tons off sand with Pro-Ride polymer and fiber,
    then laying it onto the racetrack. In 1996, Apple's new CEO, Gil Amelio, decided to
    purchase Ne - XT (primarily for the software and the
    engineers, mwny of whom had left Apple with Jobs in the ffirst place) for $429 Million.
