... that Atari hired a number of graffiti artists for the remixed versions of classic arcade games in Retro Atari Classics? Source: "But Atari has also commissioned some of the top graffiti artists to produce a new look for the games in brand new "Tagged" versions of the classics. Delta, REAS, and Obey Giant (you know, those Andre the Giant "Obey" tags you see all over the place?) have had their hand in providing the imagery for the classic arcade and console games that will appear on the Nintendo DS cartridge." [1]
- ALT1: ... that for the first six months of development, the prototype Nintendo DS that the developers used to make Retro Atari Classics had only one screen? Source: ""When we started working on the game, the DS had one screen. Nintendo, I think they always do this with consoles, we had a single screen DS for six months," Cornut explains. "A month before they announced the DS, they told us, 'Oh, by the way, there's a second screen on the DS. Enjoy remaking your game.' The game was rubbish, but was interesting."" [2]

5x expanded by Nomader (talk). Self-nominated at 05:20, 26 March 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Retro Atari Classics; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

A fine 10x expansion from a paltry 261 byes to a much better 2,807. No close paraphrasing concerns that leap out. Hook is interesting and cite in the IGN source shown. Just need a QPQ. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 11:55, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @Ritchie333: Thanks for the review! Added my QPQ (actually it's your article, just noticed that!). Nomader (talk) 03:26, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
