Many people still thinking in Keiji Inafine was the creator of MegaMan, but the real MegaMan's creator is Akira Kitamura. Keiji was the designer of his oficial arts and the creator of elec man (and more robot masters)
Since Megaman 2 Keiji took the direction of the franchise

Today, people theorize about whether he actually invented anything in his life

The gaming "Crash" of '83

People are under this idea that the entire game industry crashed in 1983 when in reality, this really only affected the US console gaming landscape. Only made worse by the fact that some people really do believe gaming was "dying" in the early 80s (it wasn't)

Other countries where actually doing just fine, and the supposed "Savior" of the industry was less of a hero and more of a company filling the void after the falling of Atari who were only really that big on the US.

Consoles weren't super popular back in europe (not until the Mega Drive and Playstation which brought them to new levels), where PC gaming such as Commodore and ZX were the norm. England was leading the charge in the PC gaming landscape, with companies like Ultimate Play the Game (later called RARE) releasing Jetpack. Spain was in a golden era of gaming releasing the most titles only next to England. Hell japanese gaming was completely unaffected, with 83 releasing both the SG-1000 and Famicom.

The biggest impact the so called "Crash" ended up having was that the US no longer leading the console market in its own country and that it took second place to Japanese gaming up until the 2000s with the Rise of Xbox and new western developers. Japan doesn't even call it a gaming crash, they call it the "Atari Shock".

It's just another example of the US thinking nothing outside of its own borders ever happens differently than to them when it comes to Pop Culture.

FOR THE LAST FUCKING TIME INTERNET THEORISTS, MARIO DOESN'T GET HIGH ON MUSHROOMS NOR HE HITS HIS HEAD AGAINST THE BLOCKS, HE TOUCHES THEM AND PUNCHES THEM RESPECTIVELY!

I only know one where people thought they can unlock Luigi in Mario 64 which is obviously wrong...in hindsight.

I have heard some people referring to some obscure dev interview talking about AI in video games (in like the 2000s) where it was talking that its is not hard to get the AI to beat Humans on RTS, and that on one test they just 'break limit' the AI and it was so powerful that players thought is was cheating while it was only better than them.

Thats ofc bs, the AI probably knew where all units of the players where at all times (so it was cheating) and developing a good AI for gaming is really challenging, specially because it will have to face humans.
