Bug: If you switch from playing Michael to Trevor, there is one occasion in the game where Trevor has a man tied to a support beam underneath a pier. If Trevor chooses to use his Jerry can and spills gasoline all around the man and sets it on fire, the tied up man catches fire, however, a glitch occurs in the process. The man catches fire, screams, then somehow pops straight out of the ropes keeping him tied up and starts running around. The rope has also not changed shaped and still remains stretched out at the front. The man then suddenly pops back into the ropes and stays tied up before he dies.

You will be exiting the game. And checking your progress is that is still saying "99%" if you find a way to get 100% you will finish the game. (00:50:20 - 00:50:50)

More The Simpsons Game bugs

Bug: Sometimes after killing all the enemies in a room, you will not get the Room Cleared message. You might still hear an enemy grunting or groaning, but there are none present. Leaving the room and then returning will cause the enemies to respawn and will usually fix this glitch.

Quantom X

More Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock bugs

Bug: Towering Mountain: towards the top of the mountain, though closer to the middle, there is a spot where a TNT box is supposed to drop down for you to use to blast your Spectraball up to the next ledge. Sometimes when you get the TNT to spawn, it will get stuck in the air just out of reach. Sometimes it will still be low enough that if you get a running start at it you can jump and still hit it. But it can also stick too high for that even and you have to restart the level, as the TNT is right at a check point so it is saves stuck in the air at the check point.

logan crews

More Guitar Hero II bugs

Bug: In this game, unlike the sequels, the CPU players will go after any item that spawns with reckless abandon. If there are just two level 9 CPU players on the stage, and an item spawns, they will both go for it. If they are equal or approximately equal distance from it on opposite sides, they will steadily walk towards it. Once they get within a certain distance of each other, their Level 9 defense programming kicks in, and they will shield roll past each other, and the item. Get up, and do it again, and again, and again bringing the fight to a standstill until the item fades away.

Quantom X

More Super Smash Bros. bugs

Bug: If an NPC zombie is too close to certain obstacles, they will appear to be crouched on the ground. The Collision is just enough to cause them to not be able to make any sideways movement unless they are activated, thus they will just be crouched on the ground slowly rotating around. It is comical for a group of zombies to be doing this while occupying the same space, as they have a dog pile effect making a tower of crouched rotating zombies.

Quantom X

More Contagion bugs

Bug: Not sure if this can be done on today's consoles but, this could actually be accomplished on the original NES. Two controllers must be plugged into the NES. Take a heavy item [i.e. A book or stapler.] and place it on the right directional button on the second controller and keep it there. Next, fall into a pit and wait for an enemy to go over the pit. When this happens, Megaman's energy will be completely depleted. After that happens, press the jump button on the first controller and Megaman will jump out of the pit and will now be invincible throughout the rest of the level as long as the right directional controller on the second stays pressed down. Note: this will only work when playing the first part of the game which involves Dr. Wily's minions but, won't work when the player makes it to Dr. Wily's lair.

More Mega Man 3 bugs

Bug: Return Of The King, Level 4: The Battle Of Pelennor Fields - The orc army is approaching Minas Tirith at the start of the level clip. But as the "camera" pans around, half of the orcs literally disappear.

More Microsoft Flight Simulator X bugs

Bug: When you get the fireball effect (when exiting the orbit or at very high speeds) if you try to turn too much with the Delta-Glider that comes with the game, after a while the ailerons (which are also the elevators) come off yet you can still pull up or pull down without any movement of the elevator (which are the ailerons and are removed) but you cannot turn at all.

More Orbiter bugs

Bug: Nurse: When charging her blink, the thumbnail area on her thumb is bent backwards out of place with her thumb seemingly split in half, invisible textures inside.

Quantom X

More Dead by Daylight Mobile bugs

Bug: Episode 2, Get Tannen: When the man at the speakeasy says "Who told you to come here?", answer the question with Hieronymus Bosch. After this line, the man at the speakeasy can be seen with his head literally through the door. Then he pulls his head back into the speakeasy door. This will only happen if he says "What will you do tomorrow?"
