put video game facts here.I will start


- The famously awful E.T. game for the Atari 2600 actually sold more than its most famous game, Space Invaders. E.T. sold 1.5 million, while Invaders only shifted a million

-In the original Super Smash Brothers Melee, the Princess Daisy trophy had a mysterious third eye on the back of its head. Unfortunate glitch? Or something more sinister?

-The first game to feature multiple endings depending on how you played the game was Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest on the NES

-It's only humanly possible to press a button on a controller 16 times per second. This record was set by Toshuyuki Takahashi, a Japanese gamer.

- 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.

There are currently over 100 million Game Boys in the world; both the original and the colour variant. 32 million of them are in Japan, and there are 44 million in America.


The death screams of the bad guys in the original Golden Axe are digitized from screams used in the films First Blood and Conan The Barbarian.

Final Fantasy got its name from the fact that it was supposed to be Square's last ever game. They were struggling to become popular with dodgy games like Rad Racer and World Runner 3D, and were going to bow out of the industry gracefully.

DARKANINE : Source for Nintendo being founded in the 1800's?

DarthDub : Nintendo has been manufacturing playing cards since their establishment in 1889. The whole foundation of Nintendo was centered around creating high-quality hanafuda card games. Following their inception, Nintendo branched out and started to tap into other areas of the card industry. The quality of their cards propelled them to the top in a similar way that their video games do today.

DARKANINE : Wow, I knew they were developing cards before video games, but I didn't think they were that old.
