The original Pac-Man had 256 levels, with the 256th/0th level being unbeatable without cheating. This is because the game counts the levels with an 8-bit (haha, get it?) number, resulting in a maximum possible value of 255 (because one of the values would be zero, and thus level 255 is the highest it goes). When one reaches level 256, it is actually wrapping around to level 0, and because of a glitch that occurs with determining the bonus fruit, the right half of the screen becomes corrupt. While most of the corrupt side is playable as normal (barring the obviously messed up graphics), there are not enough dots to complete the level, even though they respawn each time you die.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f0/Split_Screen_in_Pac_Man.gif

Only 7 people have been recorded as to having achieved the absolute perfect score of 3,333,360 points. The first was Billy Mitchell, who did it in about 6 hours on July 3, 1999. The 6th person, David Race, holds the world record at 3h 41m 22s.

Supposedly, in December 1982, 8 year old Jeffrey R. Yee received a letter from President Ronald Reagan, congratulating him on his score of 6,131,940, which would only be obtainable if he beat the corrupt level. Naturally, the legitimacy of this has been hotly debated. In 1999, Billy Mitchell (remember him?) offered a $100,000 reward to anyone who could prove the corrupt level could be beaten before January 1, 2000. Noone claimed the prize.

Super Smash Brothers started as a totally different game. It was originally entitled Dragon King: The Fighting Game and was to be released on the SNES. It also originally had no Nintendo characters.
The games also have slowly been gaining features and characters intended for the original. Bowser, Pit, Mewtwo, and King Dedede were planned for the first game, but were cut due to time constraints, and in Dedede's case, because Masahiro Sakurai didn't want to over-represent his own series. Peach and Meowth are rumored to have also been in plans for the original, and Meowth remains the only one unplayable. As for features, Sakurai has voice recordings from final smashes originally intended to be in the first game.
Other SSB fun facts: "It's absolutely impossible (without hacking) to clear all the 8 digits on the counter that tells how many points the player has earned in 1P Mode." (taken from the Super Smash Brothers Wiki). this is for the original, of course.
All 12 characters featured in the original Super Smash Brothers have been in every game to date.

The voice actor that plays Meryl from the first Metal Gear Solid also plays the voice of the pink haired Esurance character.

Silent Hill 4: The Room was originally meant to be completly unrelated to the series. It's original title was Room 302.

The first Resident Evil was supposed to be in First Person but they switched it over to Third Person because they believed that it was scarier.

Super Mario Brothers 2 here in the US, actually isn't Mario 2. It's actually The Japanese famicom game, Doki Doki Panic. Just with mario stuff. The real mario 2 was released later here, as mario, the lost levels.

That's not a fact, that's an opinion.

An old computer game named Mercenary had a lot of characteristics of Grand Theft Auto's open world gameplay.

Actually, I believe it was Mrs. PacMan and then it was Metroid. Not sure though, if anyone really knows, that would be cool to know.

About the time some of the 32-bit CD systems started coming out, Nintendo partnered up with Rare to create a game that would use revolutionary CGI graphics to show those new systems that the SNES was still a threat. That game was Donkey Kong Country, and it sold 4.85 million units in 45 days

Also, Donkey Kong from the original arcade Donkey Kong isn't Donkey Kong in Donkey Kong Country up. He's actually Cranky Kong, and Donkey Kong JR. is Donkey Kong. Confusing, eh?

Tetsuya Nomura is making Final Fantasy Versus XIII and will then start making the long awaited Kingdom Hearts 3. He will also be making two more other games after Kingdom Hearts 3 whenever he has the chance to. Another fact is that following Kingdom Hearts 2's English release, Square Enix produced a 3D remake of Game Boy Advance's Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, bundled it with the international version of KH2, and released the package to Japan as Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix +.
