The streets in Silent Hill were named after horror authors.
The Playstation was orginally developed as a cd-rom add-on to the Super Nintendo.
In the arcade version of Punch-Out, Donkey Kong and Mario can be seen sitting in the audience. (They're also in Super Punch-Out as well.)
In Final Fantasy VII's snowboarding mini-game, you can make Cloud do a backflip near the end of the track.
If you beat Banjo-Kazooie with all the jiggies, you're given a special ending in which Mumbo shows you secret areas which would supposedly be reachable once the sequel was released. The original plan was to play Banjo-Tooie until you reach a certain point, then "swap" Banjo-Kazooie in to open the secret areas, then go back into Tooie and continue on with the egg that you would have found. Unfortunately, this plan was eventually dropped, but you can still access the revealed secret areas along with a few others with a Gameshark or by using codes in Treasure Trove Cove.
The first person to die while playing a video game was playing the arcade version of Berserk. He was in an arcade called Friar Tuck's in Calumet City, IL, located right next to my own town. It's still in business.
