Notable Stuff:
-
There's a very common (and annoying) design element from the 90s used to denote that a game has something to do with the Soviet Union, which is by using the Cyrillic 'Я' character where the normal English 'R' character would be used instead. The problem is that 'Я' does not make the sound of the English 'R', but rather sounds like 'Ya'. I know it's not meant to be spoken literally, because again, it's a design choice, but the game is "Wordtris" not "Wordtyais".
-
The G.A.M.E. is sort of a giant three-in-one arcade shell for your gaming systems, with a pair of stereo speakers, an RGB monitor, and a subwoofer built into the seat. You can hook up three separate consoles in one unit, I'm sorry, did you see that it has a built-in subwoofer in its built-in CHAIR?! It only costs $2,500.
