The music for the Fire Temple once had chanting as a part of the background music. The chanting was a stock sound effect that showed up in games like "Cruis'n World" for N64 and "Kakuto Chojin" for Xbox. The chanting was an Islamic prayer and, seeing the problems it could have caused, Nintendo changed it. The updated version of the Fire Temple replaced the chanting with the wails and moans from the Shadow Temple's music.

In original copies of Half-Life, During Chapter 3, there is a secret room in map c1a1c that can only be accessed by enabling cheat mode and noclipping through the floor. The room is made of tiled pictures of Valve co-founder Gabe Newell. The room still exists in later versions of the game, although the imagery of Newell has been removed and attempting to enter the room takes you back into the normal map.

"He works for Venusaur in the Meadow Zone. He blocked the bride to stop anyone playing, but really he loves the Attractions to be found there!"
Correction: bride -> bridge

"Not so far away are your Empoleon?"
Correction: your -> you

Attachment There are three unused enemies hidden in the game's code. These are CzarDragon, Colossus and an alternate Umaro. The Colossus and Umaro use the same graphics and palettes as other enemies in the game. The Colossus is fairly simple and has a full attack script, and the alternate Umaro is weaker than the original.

CzarDragon however has no script, so when the battle begins, all it does is attack repeatedly. Which is odd, as there's a line of battle dialogue for the enemy, as though it was intended to be fought. The dialogue reads:
Mwa, ha ha... Humans and their desires! I'm free at last! I bring you destruction... I bring you terror... I am Czar... Prepare yourselves!
Taking into account the dialogue and its likeness to Shinryu in Final Fantasy V, it seems as though CzarDragon was intended to be an optional end boss. In the Gameboy Advance rerelease, CzarDragon can be fought under its original Japanese name Kaiser Dragon. It has a unique sprite similar to the SNES design.

Attachment With the Lyric Card equipped, the player can activate a secret lullaby from the Fairy if Alucard sits in a chair for a period of time. This was only available in the Japanese version of the game, as the familiar that sings it was removed from the international release. But, Konami actually went out of their way to translate this song into English for the PSP version, too.
(Attachment will play both Japanese and English.)

Attachment An upgraded special edition release of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2 (which was known as Dragon Ball Z 2 in Japan) was released exclusively in Japan and titled "Dragon Ball Z 2 V".

Only 1000 copies were produced and sent out to readers of the magazine V Jump. This version featured a special Tenka'ichi Budōkai stage with V-Jump plastered over the ring, all characters unlocked from the start, and an alternate Coola costume for Freeza.

However, players were unable to save the game and all capsules were automatically assigned to characters.

Attachment In the City Escape stage, there's a hidden message in one of the posters. "Anti XXXX XX2 Association". Since there is a 2 at the end of the XX, and the number of letters matches up, it was thought to stand for "Anti Sony PS2 Association". At the time, the Dreamcast was being dominated by the PlayStation 2 in sales.
The text was removed from later versions of the game.

In September 2005, Nintendo re-released the Game Boy Advance SP with an improved backlit screen and a model number of AGS-101 (vs. the original frontlit version with model number AGS-001). The button that turned the light on and off on the original model instead switched the brightness between low and high and provided no ability to turn the light off on the new model. Even on low though, the brightness of the new model exceeded that of the original.
