Attachment The game features a crash debugging tool that allowed the developers to find out information as to why the game has crashed. This is still present in all the Nintendo 64 releases, and can be accessed by inputting a series of button combinations after crashing the game. Information about the game and the environment that was present during the crash will be accessible from this screen.

The Version Info screen, however, not only has information about when the game's version was compiled, but also a message which reads, "I LOVE YOU".

Gex
Gex (1994)
▲

▼
Originally, the game was about a stunt man named Gecko X, who worked for a studio that was in financial trouble due to the main antagonist, Karl Chameleon. Each level would be themed around a Hollywood action movie genre, which would show stock footage of old Hollywood movies at the beginning and allow Gex to run around and do "stunts". The better the player did in the level, the more money the "Movie" made and therefore the better the studio did.

The idea was dropped because the developers found it hard to base a game around a real world theme while still making it believable and fun, compared to Mario and Sonic, which were based in fantasy settings and therefore nothing that appears in the game needed to be explained. The change in plot and setting to 'TV Land' allowed the developers to have this fantasy setting and some freedom to do whatever they wanted.

Attachment An MP5 was originally going to be the SMG as seen in early pre-release screenshots. It had a 15 round magazine. An image of Niko holding it confirms this. Niko would presumably fire it with both hands on the pistol grip, like the Micro SMG. Its design was later replaced to resemble the S&W MP10.

Attachment A level called "Megalomaniac Mind Mania" was cut at a very early stage of development. The Psychetron would have transported Crash into Dr. Cortex's Brainovial Hyperbarium to explore Cortex's twisted mind and discover the connection Cortex has to the Evil Twins. Every enemy character was an ugly version of Dr. Cortex and would have driven around in tanks. The whole level was to be a musical number, sung by Dr. Cortex called 'Take a Walk Through My Brains'. Lyrics for the song were written, but ultimately after the level was cut, went unused.

Attachment In December 2009, as part of the WAR! Update, Valve ran a competition between the Soldier and Demoman classes. The objective was to kill as many of the opposite class as possible, with reward going to the victor.

At the end of the 8 day event, it was revealed that the Soldier was the winner with over 100,000 more Demomen killed than Soldiers. As a result, the Gunboats were added to the game as a secondary item for the Soldier.

For years it was speculated what would have been added if the Demoman team won, until lead designer Robin Walker replied in an email: "It would have been the Gunboats. It was an item we'd tested with both, and seemed to work fine with either." -- Robin Walker

The Proton Pack in the Realistic version of Ghostbusters: The Video Game has a set of blinking lights on the left side of the Blue Chaser Lights. These lights were inspired by Ray's (Dan Aykroyd) Proton Pack from the first Ghostbusters Film.

These lights aren't actually on the Proton Pack, but are a result of the paint on the Proton Pack's shell being chipped away and the adjacent lights shining through. The lights were still added to the game's Proton Pack anyway.

During one of the powerboat outings with Brucie Kibbutz, he will call the Statue of Happiness the "Statue of Freedom", while the subtitles still say "Statue of Happiness." This suggests that the statue might have had a different name during development, but the audio file did not get changed to reflect the statue's final name.

Attachment There are signs that the Well Stacked Pizza Co. from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was originally meant to reappear in the game:

• Outside the store "Pizza This", the employees are still seen sporting the logo and some with "Well Stacked Pizza Co." on the back of their shirts.
• Logos and names of Well Stacked Pizza can be found at a shuttered storefront at the Alderney Casino in Westdyke, Alderney.
• The chain is mentioned on the Pißwasser website as a business partner of the beer company.
• When blocking the route of certain taxis, the driver will sometimes shout lines such as "Hurry up, I need to get to Well Stacked!" and on occasion "My Pizza Stack's gettin cold, move it!"
• Pedestrian-to-pedestrian dialog will occasionally involve whether Pizza Stack or Burger Shot is better.
