The cause of the zombie apocalypse is actually based on real life organisms. There is a parasitic fungus called Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, which is known for taking over an ant's mind and controlling its motor skills, basically making it a zombie. In The Last of Us, a fungus takes over most of humanity's minds, and turns them into zombies.

Attachment Sword Quest had a contest with 5 items made with real gold and jewels. Only 2 were won by gamers but the last 3 items were lost due to the video game crash of 1983, and Atari was sold off. The remaining items were once rumored to be in the hands of the then-new owner of Atari, Jack Tramiel.

Most of the bosses that Mario and his team must fight for a Star Piece are weapon based:
• Mack rides a pogo stick in the shape of a large throwing knife.
• Bowyer is a large, anthropomorphic bow who fires anthropomorphic arrows.
• Punchinello is a large, anthropomorphic bomb who utilizes Bob-Ombs in combat.
• Johnathon Jones wields a trident, and Yaridovich is a large, anthropomorphic spear who also wields a spear.
• The Axem Rangers wield axes and comandeer the Blade, a ship in the shape of a battle axe's blade.
• Smithy wields a giant hammer.

Note that with the exception of Punchinello and Johnathan Jones, all of these bosses are members of the Smithy Gang, the group of antagonists of the game; these allusions to weapons reference Smithy's goal to fill the world with them.

Attachment When completing Normal Mode in the Japanese version, the player is given different ending images. These images (with the exception of the last) feature Samus without her suit and show her Chozo upbringing and parent's death. The artwork heavily adheres to the events depicted in the Metroid Manga, written by Kouji Tazawa and advised by Metroid director Yoshio Sakamoto.

Sigourney Weaver originally declined to reprise her role as Dana Barrett in the video game. When she heard that the original cast was going to return to act in the game, she wanted to be a part of the game. Unfortunately, the game was too far into production to put her back in, so she was left out.

In America, the name Final Fantasy I is correct. When Final Fantasy II & III first came out, they were in fact FF IV & FF VI renamed II and III. For some strange reason they skipped FF II, FF III and FF V. It was only when FF VII came out that the series's naming was back in order.

Attachment In the category "Frosty Flicks", for the question "In a Disney cartoon, she falls under the evil spell of Queen Malificent", the incorrect answer has been programmed in. The answer should be "Sleeping Beauty", however the answer which the game wants is "Snow White".

Queen Malificent was the main villain in the Disney film adaptation of Sleeping Beauty where as in Snow White the villain was the Evil Queen, also known as Queen Grimhilde.
