My mate had an Amiga cd32. It was dogshit. We only used it to play music cds.

Mario has a tache cos due to the limited graphics it was easier than drawing his mouth.

i'm loving this thread lol
MegaMan was blue cos' the NES had a limited colour palate and it had slightly more blue shades than any other.
Also the bushes and the clouds are the same image, just different colours.
Looks awesome!
Super Mario Bros 2 was only made because Nintendo thought that the originally planned version (which became the lost levels) was to hard for americans.

Sony’s PlayStation was originally planned as a CD-ROM add-on for the Super Nintendo

I'm sure I read somewhere that the "SEGA!" chant at the beginning of sonic 1 took up an eighth of the cartridge.

That looks very similar to Project Zero for the PS2, you run around taking photographs of ghosts and have no weapons. It is a great game but Jesus Christ it is scary.

And Donkey Kong was a mis-translation from Japanese to English - should have been for far more sensible "Monkey" Kong.

After another night of not sleeping well I had a read through Zergnet and came across an article of 10 urban legends in gaming, not thinking the sonic.exe story would be in the list.
Anyone that believed that story shouldn't be playing games.

Urban myth-
The story of how Miyamoto came up with the name "Donkey Kong" varies. A false urban myth says that the name was originally meant to be "Monkey Kong", but was misspelled or misinterpreted due to a blurred fax or bad telephone connection. Another, more credible story claims Miyamoto looked in a Japanese-English dictionary for something that would mean "stubborn gorilla", or that "Donkey" was meant to convey "silly" or "stubborn"; "Kong" was common Japanese slang for "gorilla". A rival claim is that he worked with Nintendo's export manager to come up with the title, and that "Donkey" was meant to represent "stupid and goofy". In the end, Miyamoto stated that he thought the name would convey the thought of a "stupid ape".
as an aside if anyone likes random gaming knowledge have a look at these on youtube

a lot of them are tosh but I believe their could be something in the FF VII theory that Squal is dead at the end and that the 2nd disc is a dream for a couple of reasons:
1: He gets impaled at the end of disc 1 and wakes up on disc 2 with no visible injuries.
2: Disc 2 is a dream as he as dying and that could explain why it goes more far fetched as the game goes on.
3: At the end of the game their is a sequence where his life "flashes before his eyes"
this picture flashes up before the end of the game, its very strange

Read this book:
Loads of great stories in it, but it is a bit USA-centric.

Commodore CD-TV came out before any of them, it was never sold as a game console but it was just an amiga 500 in a box. Came out almost a year before the CD-i.
It did have 2 32bit chips, but it got the 64 part from the fact the graphics chip was partially 64bit and partially 32bit.

You forgot the conclusion bit. The article wrote it's all a coincidence
I'm under the belief its the same story as FF 10 where he was already dead to begin with
