It wasn't a "quirk". Most microprocessors going back to the 70s signaled whether they were doing a hard or soft boot. There's actually a lot of games that take advantage of this, usually to skip logos and go right to the title screen. Though there is a Shin Megami Tensei game that can randomly and rarely give you a creepy message after pressing reset.

Sadly the TURN IT OFF thing is fake

I could have sworn that Crash man was called Clash man when I was a kid.

I'm sure he wasn't -- but that's my story for today. And it's a fuckin' good one.

He's both, even Capcom can't decide
