A veritable treasure trove of knowledge

So I picked up
this book in Barnes & Noble on Friday (when I was in NYC, obviously). It's quite interesting, there's some information and pictures and things within that I was unaware of, and some detailed background information on various influential companies throughout the ages.
The point of this is, if any of ya'll want me to look someone or something up for you, if you want anything scanned or anything, just post here. This will be the official requesting station, if you will.
So?

Is the Nintendo that makes glasses affiliated in any way with the Nintendo that makes Mario?

As far as I can tell, no.

"Veritable" and "trove" in one topic name. Impressive.
You never hear "trove" without "treasure" in front of it, though.

What if you said "trove of treasure"!

Exactly when did the creator of M.U.L.E. (one of the greatest video games ever) have his/her sex change operation?

I remember reading that High Score! book some time ago, but I still think it was really good. The depth of the company’s histories is really quite interesting, as well as certain games made; a recommended read if you give half-a-toss. The best part was an interview with an Atari Exec, who said that even if he put horses**t in a cartridge, he would still sell a million of them.

Sadly, this piece of information appears to have been omitted. I'll check further, though.

And that's not what happened in E.T.'s case.

So yeah, everyone should stop being shitfuckers and ask me some serious questions. Ones I can realistically answer. Don't be shy.
