Here are some others:
* Super Mario Bros. 2 is actually another game that was released in Japan called "Dream Factory". You can hit Wikipedia for more info on this.
* Irata, the world the game M.U.L.E takes place in is "Atari" spelled backwards.
* Atari was in negotiations with the company called "Amiga" to buy their system, but they broke down. Commodore stepped in and acquired the Amiga computer and called it Amiga. Jack Tramiel took over Atari and brought the design Commodore had and Atari released it as the "ST" system.
* Atari was sued over the arcade game Gauntlet, but someone who did another game for the Atari 8bit computer called, "Dandy Dungeon" which was argued to be the inspiration for Gauntlet, and wasn't credited for this. Atari published Dandy Dungeon as part of its "Atari Program Exchange" (APEX). To get what APEX was like, Microsoft's Indie Games as part of the XBox 360 is like APEX was, except the Indie games is more game focused. Multiple other games of note on the Atari 8bit computer came through APEX.
* The original XBox was originally designed to be videogame system completely compatible with the PC. The developers of the XBox system fought to make it its own platform independent of PCs, and argued against Bill Gates to do this.
* The NES was offered to Atari to distribute in the United States, but Atari refused the offer.
* Naughty Dog, working on the Genesis stuck a nude picture of a blonde woman in the title screen of the game Rings of Power that was released for the Genesis. This picture is accessible by a special code players entered.
* The Master System featured a built in maze game, which had a snail you used to navigate to the end of the maze.
* The arcade version of NBA Jam featured a build in mini-3D Tank game in it, that was accessible through manipulation of the controllers and buttons. It was a bit like Battlezone.
This is it for now....
