Il mistero del disco nr. 22 :lol2:



Quando The Secret of Monkey Island è stato pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1990, il gioco era contenuto in otto differenti floppy-disk, che andavano cambiati proseguendo nell’esperienza. Da qui, Ron Gilbert ebbe un’idea per uno scherzo da inserire nel titolo, che tuttavia si ritorse contro gli stessi sviluppatori. C’è un punto in cui Guybrush raggiungeva una foresta dell'isola di Mêlée, e non appena interagiva con un tronco, scopriva l'esistenza di un sistema di catacombe sotto la superficie dell'isola e appariva a schermo la richiesta di inserire il disco n°22 e premere un pulsante per continuare. Peccato che il disco n°22 non esistesse e non era, ovviamente, contenuto all’interno della confezione del gioco. Non cogliendo la boutade confezionata ad arte dallo studio, gli utenti iniziarono a tempestare di telefonate la hotline della LucasArts (all’epoca internet non era ancora così diffuso), facendo richiesta del disco mancante per proseguire nel gioco, non senza lamentele. Spiegato l’equivoco, il messaggio è stato poi rimosso dalle edizioni successive.
 
Bad ending reference :rivet:

During the intro, the Empress will recount the events of the last game, and how they lead to this one. During her narration, she will say "Some believe when the Prince journeyed to the Island of Time to escape death, he returned alone, the amulet destroyed, the Dahaka appeased, the Empress dead. The Prince was free at last. But, this is not how it happened." This line is actually a reference to the bad ending of the previous game, Prince of Persia: The Warrior Within, in which those events occur.

Whilst the first Doom had a shareware demo of its first episode available, Doom II did not. According to John Carmack, this was because people mistakenly consider themselves to have beaten Doom when they had only beaten the shareware episode.

Rayman 3

By connecting Rayman 3 (GBA) to Rayman 3 (GameCube), the player can unlock numerous short bonus levels in the GBA version for every 100 out of 1000 Lums the player has collected for a total of 10 bonus levels. A secret 11th bonus level 'Ly's Punch Challenge 3' is unlocked when the GBA version is connected to a fully completed game of Rayman 3 on the GameCube with the 2D Nightmare minigame unlocked and played through as well.
 
Clear reference :rivet:

Dr. Victor and his assistant Mary, located in the Hotel Goumaden, are based on the 1818 novel by Mary Shelley, "Frankenstein", in which the protagonist is named Victor Frankenstein.
 
Triceraton non considerato:

Turtles III: The Manhattan Project

Despite appearing in the box art, the Triceratons do not appear in the game itself.
 
Un seguito mai uscito :sadfrog:



One month after the game's first release in North America, Fils-Aime himself, disappointed with initial sales, expressed hope that Agents could get a sequel and become a franchise, but ultimately nothing came of it. Ten years later, Yano stated in an interview that he would love to bring a sequel to Elite Beat Agents to a Nintendo platform, but the exact circumstances will depend on the capabilities of those platforms and how well the game fits to it
 
Self reference :sottosotto:

A cutscene can be unlocked if the memory card in use has a Silent Hill 2 save file. Heather contemplates reaching into a toilet, but can't bring herself to do it. She looks at the camera and asks, "Who would even think of doing something so disgusting?" This is a reference to a scene in Silent Hill 2, in which James Sunderland reaches into a toilet to retrieve a wallet.
 
Il terzo :sottosotto:

With Vanillaware as its maker, Muramasa is one to Odin Sphere, which in turn makes this game one to Princess Crown by proxy. Muramasa was even referred to as Princess Crown 3 during development.
 
Una cover ingombrante :yeahmini:

In three of the Japanese and American/Europe releases of the game, a character on the cover was obscured by the logo. On the Japanese cover, the logo was at the very bottom and Orca was partially covered, and on the American/European cover, the logo was on the upper part of the cover, completely covering Aura.
 
Super Dino Crisis:

Dino Crisis 2

An unused song can be found in the data for Dino Crisis 2's demo disc that, although being slightly rearranged, bears an uncanny resemblance to the "Ground Theme" from Super Mario Bros.
 
Solo in una versione :sowhat:

When fighting the Kusa 5 in the Wii version, their introductory painting will be of the Earth Mirror; this error is not present in the PS2 and PS3 versions.
 
Bel omaggio :eee:

A Nintendo 64 can be seen very easily on a shelf in Travis' apartment during a cutscene after assassinating Dr. Peace in the original Wii version. However, in this title, the N64 is changed to a SEGA Genesis with a 32X, and SEGA CD attachments. This is likely because Nintendo would not want their console to appear in a game on a competitors' platform.
