Real True Game Fact #27
Many people believe "Doom (1993)" to be the first IBM-PC FPS to have a third dimensional spatiality, but this is not correct -- another game was released a few days before which had the same technical capabilities.
The game was a flop -- not only because it was sold in floppy disks, but because it required a floppy disk reader whose reading heads were IN FRONT of the computer, which was rare in the 90s. Only a few copies were ever printed, and even fewer survived the tides of time, so this became a collector's item worth thousands and thousands of dollars.
But guess what -- inspired by Ruteqube's call for True Game Facts research, I managed to find a copy. I did spend pretty much 10 years of my salary on this, but it was totally worth it! And now, I am GOING TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU.
So dear SGers -- in this truly historical moment, I truly present you with what is possibly the only copy on this planet of this truly precious game: WOOD!

It is I, ruteqube, the foremost finder of elite-level Real True trivia. I have shared some of my valuable knowledge here before, but just as every star fades, so too does every master need new apprentices. In this thread, I will be looking for others who can also find and share the most interesting and useful of Real True Game Facts with the world.
What are Real True Game Facts?
They are Game Facts that are Real and True.
Your Task
Research, hunt, and search far and wide to uncover the Realest and Truest Game Facts to share here -- information that, up until now, has been left undisclosed and unappreciated. My Real True Game Facts come from thousands of hours of deep dives into library archives, archeological digs, and the games in the TrackMania series. I am but one person, however. By enlisting your help here, we can unlock so much more information with our combined power, and we can eat so many more mozzarella sticks (which is, as far as I can tell, an essential part of the research process).

Following the SNES, Nintendo wanted to push games into the second dimension and released the highly successful Nintendo 144. It was named for a perfect square because the console was the first device to ever be able to display graphics in two dimensions.
Real True Mystery Artifact
Speaking of perfect squares, as I was deep in my highly rigorous and intellectual academic research attempting to uncover the greatest hidden Real True Game Facts, I found this interesting grid of 100 five character sequences. I'm not entirely sure what they mean, but it's rare that I find something that stumps me, so I figured I'd share it here, in case any of my apprentices want to examine them more closely. Such a mystery!
