Fun Fact #50 - Remember the PlayStation 2 startup screen? Well, the seemingly random blocks and towers represent game progress—the more you play and save your games, the more blocks and towers appear. The towers represent the game, and the longer you play the taller they get. The blocks represent saved data. The design of the PS2 was modeled after the Atari Falcon Microbox. Sony bought the rights when Atari went bankrupt.
