History Trivia / Mappy

* PortOverdosed: In Japan, there were numerous versions of the game released for a variety of different consoles and home computers. At least fourteen ''Mappy'' conversions were made throughout the 80's alone, many of them coming from Dempa- a company Namco partnered with to produce computer ports of its arcade games. Of the pre-Namco Museum ports, the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem Famicom]] version is considered one of the more well-known ports, especially overseas.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Despite positive feedback and a decent audience, Mappy was canceled by Bandai Namco -- along with ''the rest of [=ShiftyLook=]'' -- when they decided to put all their effort into rebooting ''VideoGame/WonderMomo''. The series creators were forced to post a message stating that their years of hard work were all practically a contest for Namco to decide who they could make the most money off of a reboot of -- they claimed to be happy about it, but it's painfully obvious that the fans and creators alike cursed Namco that day.

* ActingForTwo: Besides Dax Gordine as VideoGame/{{Bravoman}}, all characters are voiced by Scott Kurtz and Kris Straub, who also happen to be [[DescendedCreator the main writers]].

* NoExportForYou: The Famicom port, despite being one of the most well-known ports, was never released outside of Japan for unknown reasons (a fate it shared with the Famicom ports of ''VideoGame/DigDug'' and ''VideoGame/{{Galaxian}}''. Much later, it would be officially released as part of the ''Namco Museum Archives'' CompilationRerelease.
