        That is a NR Reader, not a GC.

          Great Thread - Never knew that above, Unirally was/is a fave of mine, I would have loved a sequel.

            guess that means Unirally won't be on the VC then. Shame.

            The one I'm sure everyone knows: Mario was originally known as "Jumpman" in the Donkey Kong games.

              Actually i think its a NPDP GC, an NR reader runs non retail disks, the only difference between NR and retail is the laser drive, which can be swapped out for a retail one to play commercial games.

                Grand Theft Auto was originally named Race 'n' Chase before a slot car game of the same name by Matchbox forced DMA Design to change it.

                  I thought they were all called NR readers. I had the teal one once, which was able to play retail games following a transport swap as you say. Shane's quite into them I think. He'll know fo sho.

                      Not intresting in a QI way, just a fact, one of the first Videogames ever made was Space War! by an American called Steve Russell and his Co-Worker in 1962.

                      No other Mario game has sold more than the original Mario Bros, which is estimated to have sold over 40 million units. Infact every succeussive sequel has sold far less than the 1980 original.

                          You mean Monkey Kong, right? Shame we never saw him driving in Continental Circus :P

                            I think it was intentionally called Donkey Kong. The Monkey story isn't true (according to an issue of Edge's Retro).

                              I know, I've heard all versions, that's why I had the slightly sarcastic in there .

                                Really!?

                                Some of you may already know but anyway... Sega had to sell 2 million copies of the Dreamcast game Shenmue before turning over a profit. Sadly they only sold 1.2 million.
