I love reading about obscure games that pushed the technical enveloppe one way or another, like alpha waves (one of the very first 3D game on console) or I robot (arcade game with shaded polygons in 1983),habitat (one of the first massively online game) or trespasser (ill fated action game that tried to push the enveloppe on so many front, from physics to AI to rendering). Do you have any secret gems that you would like to talk about?

Bonus points if it includes war stories, I really loved the whole series by andy gavin on crash bandicoot development or reverse engineering adventure like the ones done by fabien sanglard.
