The name of the product was actually "Ultimate Quake"... it was something of a limited edition, I believe, and had a Quake 4 poster included (which is now on my wall.) Hopefully the clarification helps you in your hunt. Amazon has a listing for it and sometimes carries it used, but they're out right now.
Grab it from the Id Software FTP or from mirrors at the Quakesrc forums. Offtopic, I know, but my submission was rejected. If they have time to reject the story, they ought to have time to approve someone who submitted it.
This topic on Gamefaqs.com's "Southeastern U.S. Board" has been thriving for quite some time now. Every time a creationist gets debunked, a new one comes in to make the same argument again. Did you know that Darwin recanted on his deathbed?;)

There's actually a boss in Kirby Superstar, which is not a roleplaying (or stat-building, if you prefer) game, that enforces the rules of turnbased combat.
The following all takes place in the context of a standard 2d platformer:
The boss is invulnerable while it's attacking. Whenever you or the boss executes an attack, a dialog box pops up in the background that reads like:
Realtime combat based "RPG's" (I use quotes because there is more of a focus on action/adventure than story in some of these):
1)Seiken Densetsu 3 (The sequel to Secret of Mana) 2)Secret of Mana 3)Secret of Evermore 4)Illusion of Gaia 5)Terranigma 6)Soulblazer 7)Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past (surely you've played this) 8)ChronoTrigger (hybrid turnbased-realtime)
Also, if you like Zelda and have access to a Playstation or PS emulator, check out Alundra, often called "the thinking man's Zelda".
Randomly generated levels are the holy grail of replay value. Diablo 1 had them; Diablo 2 may also; haven't played it. I can confirm, though, that Diablo 1 still hasn't gotten old for me, because it's different every time you play it.
For a long time, I wished for a Super Mario Brothers game with randomly generated levels, but then it occurred to me that if such a beast existed, people would never have to buy another Mario game.
This oughtta do ya fine. Haven't tested it though, so it might be down. The web page says there's a good number of seeds, though. So start your engines.:D
By the way, I've found that emule downloads go faster during the second half, when you have parts of the file that most others who are downloading the file don't. It's that credit system.

Also don't forget Project X a band that has produced covers for all the music in Mega Man 2+3. Two full albums in mp3 format at the provided link, and it doesn't suck.

The only complaints I have with these are due to their handheld format: The small screen results in low resolution compared to symphony, and there's no way you're getting playstation quality sound out of a Gameboy. The first can be remedied to some extent by running the games using a gameboy emulator on a modded xbox, and applying some anti-aliasing, but you'll have to acquire a taste for chiptunes in order to get past the music.
Circle of the Moon has the best music, Aria is the best game, and Harmony, while not bad, is mainly played when I get tired of the other two.
"It's a Truffula Seed. It's the last one of all! You're in charge of the last of the Truffula Seeds. And Truffula Trees are what everyone needs. Plant a new Truffula. Treat it with care. Give it clean water. And feed it fresh air. Grow a forest. Protect it from axes that hack. Then the Lorax and all of his friends may come back." -Dr Seuss
Also, there's an excellent freestyle on Soulseek featuring Sage Francis and DJ Roux, with DJ Roux spinning Mario beats. And while I can't think of the name, The Dayton Family (Rap Personas Most Hard) has a track that is a medley of all the Mario music: Over- and underworlds, water, star, and dungeon.

See Ninja Gaiden for XBOX.
Currently stuck on the Tank-Tank-Helicopter fight, where it won't let you backtrack to buy potions.
And the Gameboy Camera, spiritual ancestor of the Eye-toy.
I seem to recall a similar effort being made for the xbox key, and AFAIK, they're still gnawing away at the problem...
Distributed brute forcing can take a looooong time. I doubt the key is "00000000" or "password".
Or even "god"...

The boss is invulnerable while it's attacking. Whenever you or the boss executes an attack, a dialog box pops up in the background that reads like:
Kirby deals 28 damage! Or, "Red dragon loses 28 HP!"
It feels like a tribute to Dragon Quest, and is very well executed.

I remembered him, dammit. /.
And he's also one of the coolest stories I've seen on
Furthermore, I'm glad he got his rig to fit in a backpack.

Oops, my tag is open. How embarassing.
With a little work, a modded XBOX comes close to being what you describe. Check out all the emulated systems. Admittedly, you have to mod it and set up the emulators, but after that, it is very hassle free, my cousin, who is an elementary school student, is working his way through Super Metroid on a modded xbox as we speak.
argh, I don't know what GWA is and I can't google it...
It's too bad that Shareaza is so unstable that it rarely stays up long enough to download a BitTorrent -size file.
