Best game bugs of all time

Bug: In the beginning training missions (the white rooms). In the mission where you are trying to find a door and guards are walking around underneath you take out the guard in one of the buildings and stick him in the left hand corner (facing away from the door) then throw 1 or 2 grenades at him (this is the only time in the game this will happen). When they land on him and explode all the walls will be covered in red paint (presumably blood) even on the ceiling - this should not be happening.

More Splinter Cell Double Agent bugs

Bug: In level one, after you receive the elevator code and use it to open the elevator, look at the reflection of the elevator doors on the back wall. Even though the elevator doors are open, the reflection shows the elevator doors are still closed.

More Second Sight bugs

Bug: Applies to the SNES. Using the character Raiden, upon finishing the last level of the double team fight. Upon doing his fatality, Gorro will drop down in a glitched color form.

More Mortal Kombat bugs

Bug: When you are at the Secret Academy on Telos, and the Handmaidens tell you to put down your weapons, if you select the option "OK. We mean you no harm." the first time you have the option of doing so - you will receive light side points, but you will also cause the game to glitch, so that Atton and Kreia are behind you - and you can talk to either one of them. When you try and talk to Kreia, nothing will happen, and when you talk to Atton, you will be given two options - 1.[Cheat Node]Jump to PC confrontation with Atris 2.[Cheat Node]Continue with Kreia conversation The problem with this glitch is that you can't leave the academy ~ you're stuck here for good! Suggestion: make two save files before you enter the secret academy - if you use the glitch, you can talk to Atris more than once, and you can learn a lot more backstory to the game. The other one should be used so that you can actually get off of the academy. Though your characters may not know the story - you will - and I find that much more satisfying. To avoid this glitch: Select option one "Who are you?", or something along those lines - and on the second dialog screen, select "OK. We mean you no harm." I don't believe you get light side points for this.

Casual Person

More Pac-Man World 3 bugs

Bug: There are two ways to perform this glitch. When the glitch is performed, the game can't progress, regardless of the fact all windows on the current floor have been fixed. Ralph will continue to throw bricks and Felix can still be moved, but the game will stay on the current floor. One way of performing this glitch is to 'die' just as the last window on the floor is fixed. The second way to perform the glitch is to press the fix button on a window and have Ralph destroy the window whilst it's being fixed.

Quantom X

More Fix-It Felix, Jr. bugs

Bug: There are several occasions throughout the main story where you may find a weapon with an outrageous amount of ammo ready to fire. Such as an M1 Garand with 1020 bullets in its magazine, and unable to reload as it has equal to or more than the amount of bullets at its max, allowing for nearly endless fire.

Bug: A game-breaking glitch can commonly occur during the prologue, upon creating a second character. *Spoiler* After the cryogenic chamber cutscene, after being released from the chamber, you will be stuck, unable to move or use any control except for Pause. The only known fix is to turn the entire game off and then go through the cutscene again.
