My favorite bit of video game trivia:
Moo/Muu was a rare monster in Monster Rancher 2, only obtainable through an item received on the Pocketstation. Because of the failure of the Pocketstation in Japan, the US version of Monster Rancher 2 was edited before release to remove support for the Pocketstation.
There is only confirmed to be a single disc in existence that creates Moo in the US version of the game - a certain pressing of Beck's Mellow Gold album owned by Monster Rancher Metropolis member Darthgali.
(The subcode data for this CD was posted on MRM, so now anyone who can burn a CD can get Moo.)

It's difficult to link single pages of MRM, but most of the information is found in the Monster Rancher 2 archives, notably the FAQ: Beginner's Edition.
