IMPORTANT UPDATE

The Real True Mystery Artifact has disintegrated and is no longer available for study. A big thanks to all of those who studied it!

It is looking like the Real True Mystery Artifact is potentially going to expire soon. It's in the advanced stages of decomposition at the moment! I don't think it'll be around too much longer, so it's best to get your research in quickly, before it goes!

Welcome

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).

Let's work together to post any Real True Game Facts we discover in this thread so that we can make it the most definitive source of Real True gaming information in the world.

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!
