Funny glitches you've seen in games.

Post them here!
(Please merge if this has been done before -- I have an awful memory.)

I have one to share -- this real cheap-o (about $5 if I recall) horse racing game, where in the races, they're showing the horses galloping in the little paddock thing before the race. But for some reason, my character had no horse under her so she was just standing there sliding along. (I was laughing so hard I didn't get a screencap, but I will next time to post it here.)

Edit: Dang, seemed like a one-time thing

Personally, I don't think bugs in games are particularly funny.

In Medal of Honor Airborne, I headshot a German in the head and the helmet went flying at an insane rate and killed one of my fellow soldiers that was 100 feet away. There are also multiple glitches where bodies are stuck and stretched at insanely uncomfortable positions that obviously are part of a problematic physics engine.

Sometimes it's funny when games are originally made in one language then translated to another. In one cheap-o game, they were talking unnaturally slow, and they just dubbed the voices over so their mouths weren't matching up.

In another, slightly better game, the voices did match up with the video, but sometimes the subtitles were wrong, and sometimes the characters would be screaming at you in another language, I think it was German or something.

It makes for some good lulz.

I was playing Vampire: Bloodlines with the companion mod over the weekend, and I had rather odd glitch when I tried to take the lift to my appartment. One of my companions followed me into the lift. When the lift started moving, my companion began floating in mid air, about 4 foot off the floor. When the lift stopped, she disappeared, but the lift doors refused to open. I tried all the lift buttons and none worked. In the end, I had to reload.

There was this odd glitch in HoI that somehow made Iraq at war with and allied to Britain at the same time. This made Gibralter and some med. island fall to Iraqi control while British troops were still there.

Iraq got 4325 bel. which made most of Latin America declare war on them as well as America and ....Sweden. =P

I found this glitch a while ago in another silly horse game. Where you can ride your horse into town to the shops to get supplies. But I rode my horse right into the store and it somehow got stuck behind the counter and I had to reload.

This seems to be a trait of Paradox games. See it all the time in EU3

In a game, I went through a fence I wasn't supposed to and got stuck in a ditch. Had to reload.

A glitch in Driver (the first one) which allows you to nearly fly. Just drive to a wall and make sure that another car (cop cars are the easiest) hits you at the same time. The car flies high into the air. Found that by myself years ago.

Also, I found a glitch in Final Fantasy III (NES version) which allows you to do very high damage with very weak characters. I just don't know how to do it. If the glitch happens I can do over 3000 damage with a level 15 white mage's melee attack.

In cheap-o horse game, I was riding a horse vertically up a cliff (wasn't supposed to do that) and I had a CtD. Same game where I got stuck in the ditch after crashing through the fence.

I was playing a WWII fighter game and accidentally dropped a bomb on the runway before takeoff and had a CTD.

(Hearts of Iron II, Nat. China) - Guanxi Clique (sp?) and Shanxi kept sending me forces, then kept asking for it the very next day. It got really annoying after 2 weeks, so I quit the Nat. China campaign. I was getting trashed by the Soviet Union too, and I still don't know how I provoked them to attack me.

...Unless this isn't a glitch, and you all (those of you who play HoI2) experienced this..

Playing FlightGear. No idea how this happened:

We don't want to stand on this wall no more!

 

[hossam]

what game is that?

RTW: Europa Barbarorum.

In Star War Battlefront 2,on Naboo,there is an area where clones/rebels(depends on the era) will all just hang out there and rack up a bunch of points for the droids/imperials(again,depends on the era) just by a grenade landing over there.

Pick a game, any game with a car. Go fast. Do it enough times and you WILL fall through the road. How do games still have this problem?

Although, that said, we've come a long way from Driv3r where it'd happen every second corner.

Oooh, any free games that do that? I wanna see it.
