The Sword of Kumdor (1991) is a "touch-typing RPG" by Michiaki Tsubaki that debuted on the PC-98 in Japan. The planet, Kumdor, needs your help! As the Milky Way Galaxy's greatest typist, you answer, but a crash landing destroys your keyboard forcing you to start over! (a where's my keys thread)

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

In 1990, Damocles (Mercenary 2) on the Amiga featured a full galaxy with 9 planets & 19 moons for players to explore. In 1995, Psygnosis was going to release an enhanced PC port which never happened. The PC port looked almost complete. Another in the weird choices made by Psygnosis in the 90s

Seconding this. Geocities was so popular that they couldn't keep up with demand at first.
LiveJournal had to close off applications for a year because folks overwhelmed them
Something Awful had to start charging for forum access to deal with the load.
And so on.
