Virtua Racing arcade should never have come out and was only a test, but it was so good internally they released it anyway.

Not sure if its been mentioned but the guy (Chris Roberts) who made the Wing Commander games also directed the film and made the move full time into the film biz. Possibly evidence of a film being too true the game being a bad thing for the general public. I thought it was ok but then again I love The Last Starfighter

There was a band who made some tunes using a Game Boy Camera too but their name escapes me. They fed the camera into some kind of unit or software or whatever that turned the output into sound. I think they're on the Ant Zen label...
EDIT - I was right, the band is a German electronica outfit called Klangstabil. LinkyLast edited by MattyD; 31-01-2008, 15:30.

Chiptunes!
You get the full gamut of stuff from semi-psychopathic bleepcore stuff, which bombards you with as many blips and chirps as can fit into the human ear, to much more restrained stuff. I've heard plenty of chiptune ballads and stuff too.
The Blip Festival is a good place to start: http://www.blipfestival.org/

chipsmusic is great.
In early 2005, Beck released an EP called GameBoy Variations. It contained 4 remixes of song from his Guero album. Chiptune artists 8-bit and Paza were the remixers.
Here you can see vids for a few of the tracks
Hell Yes (Ghettochip Malfunction)
Girl (Bit Rate Variations in B-flat)
Que Onda Guero (Gameboy/Homeboy)
Off-topic - The original Hell Yes video featuring Sony's abandoned 'Qrio' robots.
A pic of Beck rockin a Gameboy.

Don't know if this has already been posted. Was reading a reprinted Making of... Goldeneye feature by RG today.
Apparently, at one stage, Rare were going to have the player reload their gun by removing and re-inserting the rumble pak. Wow! Would've made it a whole lot more difficult to play!
