Stage 1 of Um Jammer Lammy was incomplete in the original PlayStation version, not being accessible in either multiplayer or PaRappa's story. With a GameShark code, a US player can access an unfinished version of PaRappa's stage 1, which has no animations and only uses triangle buttons. Stage 1 would eventually be finished for Um Jammer Lammy NOW!, released 9 months after the PlayStation version, with Rammy and PaRappa support.

Stage 1 is the only PaRappa stage to use the instrumental of the Lammy version.

Attachment The game is designed for a 4:3 display, with 16:9 support being limited to the title screen, menus, and credits. Because of this, the original North American and European releases feature colorful custom borders which occupy the unused screen space during 4:3 segments when playing on a 16:9 display. However, this attracted complaints from players, as the static nature of the borders risked causing screen burn-in after prolonged periods of play. Consequently, later revisions remove the borders, instead using standard black bars.

Attachment "Puppy Pong", a rare alternate cabinet design for Pong intended for use in non-coin-op environments such as waiting rooms or entrance-fee arcades, was originally designed after Snoopy from the Peanuts comic strip. However, the concept was rejected by Charles Schulz, leading to the creation of a generic puppy in Snoopy's place. An unthemed version titled "Dr. Pong" was also released.

All characters are available for selection in the menu, making the demo essentially identical to the full game. When the player tried to start the night, a message would appear in the middle of the menu, preventing them from going any further if the chosen roster had more than 2,000 points.

Mortal Kombat II

In Episode 7 of the TV series adaptation of The Last of Us, Ellie and Riley are seen playing the arcade version of Mortal Kombat II. At one point, Riley uses Mileena's fatality on Ellie's character Raiden, with Riley being heard pressing four buttons to initiate the killing blow. Following the episode's release, a number of fans online claimed this was inaccurate, as one can simply just press and hold the Heavy Kick command during the "Finish Him!" prompt to initiate her Fatality. However, other Mortal Kombat players argued that the show's display of gameplay could possibly be correct, pointing out that there is an alternate way to do the fatality. Specifically, Mileena can perform the Fatality by standing close to the opponent, holding the Block button and tapping the Heavy Kick command.

Attachment In the Street Fighter 5 Climax Arts Plus Zero to 6 book, the game's director Nakayuki Nakayama stated that Juri Han didn't originally wear a black top underneath the catsuit, and that this was added after many people said the original design was too sexy. Juri's original design can be seen in Cammy's character story, which was included in the base game before the release of the cinematic story mode A Shadow Falls in June 2016 and Juri's inclusion as a season 1 DLC character in July 2016.

Attachment In the Virtual Console release of the game, Jynx's sprite is altered to change her skin color from black to purple, keeping in line with the character's redesign since the international releases of Pokémon Gold & Silver in 2000, which was implemented following complaints from African-American writer Carole Boston Weatherford that the original design was evocative of blackface imagery.

While Game Boy and Game Boy Color sprites only allow for a maximum of three colors, the game's in-battle assets are composed of multiple 8x8 sprites composited together. Thus, the Virtual Console release was able to recolor Jynx's skin by only altering some of these tiles to replace black with purple. As no other Pokémon use this method, this makes Jynx's altered design the highest-detail Pokémon in any version of the Generation I games.

Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge

The Japanese FM Towns release of Monkey Island 2 is completely missing the so-called "cliffside puzzle" (which involves stealing a fish from a chef, trading the fish to a fisherman for a rod, and casting your line over a cliff, so a seagull appears and snatches the piece of the treasure map away).

At first, it was speculated this was either a bug (with one person going so far as to officially submit it as a bug for the ScummVM emulator in 2006) or censorship. But looking at the game's source code, the change was seemingly intentional, with additional lines of code being added to tell the program to skip the correct sequence of events.

When asked about this, even former developers and play testers couldn't explain or remember why. Recent consensus is that this was most probably because of a technical issue involving vertical scrolling (where if the screen moved up and down you couldn't have objects or animations on the screen at the same time or the game's script would break - and the cliffside "room" is the only room in the game to feature vertical scrolling).

On May 23, 1999, wrestler Owen Hart passed away due to an equipment malfunction during his entrance into the wrestling ring, dropping him to his death. In light of this, the game was delayed from its original June 3, 1999 release date to August 5th that year, and they dedicated it to Hart in the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation versions.

The Dreamcast version, however, completely omits the dedication due to a wrongful death lawsuit brought against the WWE (then known as the WWF) from the Hart family. However, he is still a playable character in the game.

In numerous official video game demo compilation discs (such as the fondly regarded Pizza Hut demo disk that came about as a promotional stunt co-jointed by Sony Computer Entertainment America and Pizza Hut), there was a "late demo" of Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped included, featuring a playable beta version of the level "Under Pressure".

As this version of the stage came from an earlier build of the game, there are distinguished differences between this version and the final version. Two differences that stand out between versions is that the signature pufferfish is purple instead of its usual orange, and that the Time Trial record times differ in such a manner that the demo version appeared to be deemed too difficult shortly before the final build's completion and retail release.

In the demo:
•Sapphire Relic Time: 1:28:33
•Gold Relic Time: 1:04:93
•Platinum Relic Time: 0:58:73

In the final release version:
•Sapphire Relic Time: 1:46:00
•Gold Relic Time: 1:17:90
•Platinum Relic Time: 1:10:50
