In The Sims: House Party, you could hold a party at your house. If the party did well, you would be visited by the eminent comedian Drew Carey.
At least, that’s what happens in the English version. In other versions of the game, Drew Carey in this dialogue box is instead called the language’s equivalent of “Celebrity.” (The Cutting Room Floor). A version of his name still appears in a mouse-over though. (In Japanese, the mouseover reads 芸能人のドリュー, roughly Drew the Performer.)

The Hazy Maze Cave theme is a riff on the Underground theme from the original Super Mario Bros. The metal cap theme is a riff on the star theme.

I’ve been collecting all of the ports of the early 80’s arcade game Mr. Do! for a few years now. Mr. Do! is a Dig Dug-like game where you dig underground and either get all the fruit or kill all the monsters. Your player character is a clown who shoots a superball (totally normal and expected from early 80’s arcade games).Ideally, someday I’ll even track down the arcade cabinet. Don’t ask me to explain why I decided to do all this! This is after all Insert Credit and someone on here is certainly doing something even more bonkers!
Anyway, there are a ton of ports of it for everything from the Colecovision to the SNES, but one I just recently found out about is for the Gameboy Color! ONLY: it was rebranded to of all things, a game in the Quest series (as in IC favourite Quest 64), titled Quest Fantasy Challenge (or Holy Magic Century in Europe). I’ve never played it, but it looks pretty good, although the weird thing here is… why Mr. Do! of all games? I’d love to know the story behind it!

interesting and odd! so I can see the imagineer copyright on the title screen, which released at least one version of Mr Do, as well as developing/copublishing quest 64. and the executive producer of both quest 64 and quest fantasy challenge are the same. I am guessing there was just a license deal hanging out that was available and someone went for it. this is probably one of those unknowable things but there’s lots of threads of connection in here to start with anyway!

I would like to take this moment to share that the Tingle Tuner from Wind Waker says “Tintendo” on it

Speaking of Zelda, here’s a Majora’s Mask detail I didn’t notice until I watched a certain ZFG randomizer:
There are speakers in the Music Box House.

A post was merged into an existing topic: favorite console color variants
Mac OS X, since that was released in 2004 right? Mac OS was dead by then.
Also, I dunno if this should count as gaming trivia, but did you know they held an on-stage funeral for Mac OS 9 at WWDC?

Sorry I moved that post into favorite console color variants - #257 by Tom as it saved into the wrong topic!
The funeral for Mac OS 9 was something I didn’t know!
