number 2: My guess is that they needed more time to implement the control scheme since it was the first game to support trackball controls.

number 10: A shiny Zigzagoon.... dont ask

"Shiny Zigzagoon were given out from GameStop and EB Games in July 2004."

Not March, but only mention of a shiny pokemon anywhere by Gamestop. Quote taken from here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_game_mechanics

thanks guys we seem to have found all but the halo one and we think it is 15000 based of an interview with the head sound guy.

btw we found that the reason the atari football was not released was because they couldnt figure out how to get the screen to scroll.
