Nice vid. I don’t know how “cool” this really was, but it still comes up in conversation among my friends from time to time: When we were in our early teens, me and my best friend would race to 100% a new game before each other, for bragging rights. A speedrun contest if you will. But we didn’t have mobile phones or instant access to the internet. But we did live just around the corner from each other, maybe five or six hundred metres. So the quickest way to claim victory would often be to complete a game then run the short distance to the other’s house to gloat. I recall one summer we both acquired a copy of Gran Turismo 3, so a new race to 100% began. I recall making slightly quicker progress than my friend initially. Soon it came down to getting the gold time on the Complex String time trial. I hit a wall, so to speak, allowing my friend time to catch up. Soon we both just needed that final gold time for that sweet glory. After what seemed like a hefty grind, I got a good enough time and immediately jumped up, ran out of the front door towards my friend’s house. About half way to his, there was a blind ninety degree corner. As I rounded it at full sprint I collided with someone head on, who was also running. When the dust settled, I realised it was my friend. So I shouted “I got the complex string gold”. He shouted the exact same thing at the same time. However unlikely, was this a true draw? We even counted paces from the point of collision to our respective homes - EXACTLY the same. We compared time stamps on our memory card saves. The same minute! If you read all that, maybe you’d agree that was quite incredible and I swear it was true. Thanks

I was in 9 years old when Goldeneye came out and I didn't know it was based on James Bond. In fact, I don't know if I even knew who James Bond was. I had played the game a ton and was at my grandparents house. They heard my cousin and me talking about it and my grandma said she had the movie. I couldn't believe there was a movie associated with it. We watched it and I was blown away. I've been a Bond fan ever since and my grandparents have both passed away. However, I have that very VHS tape sitting on my shelf next to my N64 that has GoldenEye in it. Good memories.

One thing I appreciate about games is they never change, when you’re grown up often you can never go back to your childhood home (if the family moves) or your schools etc, but in games you can time travel back to the same places you were as a kid. And you can replay games just as you did the first time.

Don't know why the comments have such a negative slant, I completely agree. There are few things like the nostalgia of revisiting a digital location from your childhood, yes you've grown since then so the experience is different but the location itself is more or less the same much like you revisited an old town or house. A bit later than childhood but the game that particularly exemplifies this for me has to be Morrowind, even hearing the opening theme brings back a rush of memories and walking the streets of Balmora again is like driving by my old home.

I absolutely believe Wiz Pig could have accidentally glitched into the pond. A similar thing can happen to Darth Maul in Lego Star Wars the Complete Saga, at least on the DS version. His boss fight basically entails him jumping around a circular room with a pit in the middle, and the pit is instant death to the player, but he can accidentally fall in the pit either by missing a scripted jump, or trying to dodge your attacks, and fall in The Pit himself. Once he does, he's stuck down there and you can't finish the boss fight, because the death barrier extends above where his character model stands, so there's no way to damage him further. I've had this happen to me at least twice. Different games, different consoles, I know, but similar events. I can't really say that I have any particular weird or wacky memories from this time frame, and I already mentioned some specific playground and early internet rumors for some Mega Man games on another video.

The most beginners luck I've ever had was when I was around 9 or 10. My dad was playing some Tiger Woods golf game and he was stuck on a hole without hitting bogey. I remember him resting the hole and pausing it to get something to eat. I ask to try the hole, and he chuckles and says have at it. Now I have NO idea how golf work. The only thing I knew was wind moved the ball. So I "calculated" for the wind speed (I pressed a bunch of buttons and randomly picked an angle) And swung. My dad came in, completely flabbergasted when he sees the words "Hole in one!" And I proudly drop the controller on the bed, pipe bomb style and walk out feeling like the ultimate gamer. I never touched that game again 😂😂

I also had another mandela-effect type story in my childhood, but this one is much longer, so buckle up. This one happened in highschool around 15 years ago during the growth era of emulators. I'm pretty sure we were using Project64 at the time. I had agreed to go to a friend's house and finish Super Mario 64 for him in a single day, and we did a 4-5 hour marathon where I collected all the stars in a new file. I recall having seen a video on youtube telling people how to get more than 120 stars and after I had collected every single star I had tried it with my friend. The guide told people to speak to Yoshi on a complete savefile and then in the basement Mips would start appearing again. We were astonished when it actually worked and we collected 2 more stars from Mips as though it had reset itself, along with a few red coin stars afterwards. The months after I had commented it in forums and no one believed me. I wasn't able to find the guide again either. The closest explanation I found online to explain the anomaly was that if you were using an emulator at the time it could mess up with the counters that kept track of which stars were collected. It has been so long since that I don't actually recall what else we did during that marathon (or which version of the game we were playing), only the fact that we had collected over 120 stars that way.

This is a childhood memory from a French streamer that he shared earlier this year, as he was rediscovering GoldenEye. He was around 16 or 17 years old, and a big fan of both James Bond and RareWare, so GE naturally became his most anticipated game of 1997. Seeing that he couldn't wait for its European release in November, he decided to order the North American version from a store that was handling international shipment. When he laid his hands on the controller for the first time, the revelation happened. What was this game offering such an incredible feeling of freedom and control ? How could it be so pleasant to play ? His mind was blown. He had never seen something like this before. Nobody was talking about GE, not even video game magazines. Nobody knew what was yet to come. Among all his friends, he was the only one who had experienced this gem of a video game, before anyone else. He kept that situation as a precious moment that he cherished, until the official European release. During all this time, he kept on playing over and over again all the missions of GE, progressively getting better at it, while still trying to digest what kind of crazy masterpiece that was. A few weeks later, at a traveling carnival he went, he noticed a huge crowd forming around a Nintendo truck, parked near the entrance. It was running a demo test cabinet of GE ! All the kids wanted to have a glimpse of that gaming phenomenon. So, an idea struck him, and he decided to join the queue. As you all know, GE is a difficult game to apprehend directly. The controls are not obvious. It takes quite some time to get a good grasp of Bond's movements and aiming. Especially back in the days, when all of this was completely new. Nobody knew how to play a FPS on console with a controller that offers only a single joystick. That was very unusual, to all the kids, to everyone. They were all confused at the controls, wondering what kind of dark sorcery was this... And here comes the turn of that French streamer. It was his time to shine. He grabs the controller, chooses Dam on 00 Agent, and proceeds to perform the most perfect hitless run ever done in France at the time, chaining headshots after headshots. He completes Dam, hands over the controller to the next kid in line, and walks off like a Chad... "K Thanks Bye." Picture the "Cool guys don't look at explosions" meme, all eyes on him, everybody wondering who is this guy ? A truly remarkable fraud. But a funny memory we all enjoyed to hear.

I can not guarantee you it truly was a hitless run. But the story is real. You know, sometimes, when you try to remind yourself of some very old childhood memories, some details will remain uncertain. Did it really happen like that ? Or was your child's mind being a little too creative ? Maybe he got hit once or twice, but at the time, that was still an amazing performance, because he had grinded Dam like nobody else. To him, it felt like he did a perfect run. Also, don't imagine that he was speedrunning. He was actually playing very safe, showing off his skill, taking the time to aim with the sniper. Very far from what a good run would look like today. But I know he says the truth because this French streamer is very mature and he has always shared stories like that throughout the years.

I noticed something was off when I used the third HUD mode that shows racer positions around the edge of the screen. Whichever one of the two it was, they weren't moving. When I reached that part of the track on the next lap, I saw them just sitting at the wall. I turned the game off thinking it was a weird glitch. The same thing happened.

Here's one about Star Fox 64. It occurred during the Katina level where the Mothership shows up. So, it was me and my brothers playing the game and we had just made it to Katina and Bill and the Husky Unit were in the midst of battle. We aren't sure what triggered the event, but since we were preparing to leave the house with our mom, we started shooting down Bill's Husky Unit and kept hearing him go "Fooox, that's one of ours!" Suddenly, a Rooster or Chicken type of character started talking to us and attacking us in the likeness of Star Wolf. He had more traits of Leon from Star Wolf's team than he did anyone else but spoke in the Lyat voice as opposed to actual voice acting. We could never get this to trigger again and debate to this day if we had imagined it or not. Sadly we had to leave the house and turn the game off so never saw the outcome of the Katina level whenever the Chicken/Rooster appeared to fight us. Of course, I doubt any game data exists on such a character being in the game and I'm sure dumps of the game's data are all over the internet. So even unused content might not produce this image or character. It was still a fun "How did we all imagine this" kind of scenario.

A random encounter happened and it was a Haunter. I didn't know Haunter was possible to encounter so I was excited and caught it. I had a full party though, so it went to my PC. When I left the tower and checked the box in the Pokemon Center the Haunter was nicknamed my name. I got scared and turned the game off. To this day, I have the cartridge and if the battery is still alive (I doubt it) that Haunter still exists. Somehow the new game had my previous name stored somewhere and applied it to that Haunter. I'm very curious if this has happened to anyone else.

I remember a time when I was very young, like five at most, and playing a demo of Diddy Kong Racing at Toys R Us. I think I only got to see the island hub, but what is strange about it is that I remembered it being foggier with more bridges. It looked more like a beta build of the island shown in promotional material than the island in the released game. There are recordings on KZitem showing multiple builds of the island in promotional videos. Maybe I played some early demo, or maybe my memory is wrong.

I remember playing Star Fox 64 in a Toys R Us when it came out at launch in 1997. It was multiplayer mode but had Fox on foot running around with a gun. I bought the game and despite playing it to death and finding all the secrets could never get to run around on foot. I assumed I just misremembered. Many years later I found out just how difficult it is to unlock that mode. It requires perfect scores in hard mode. I didnt even know hard mdoe existed - it gives star fox sunglasses. Unlocking hard mode requires perfect scores in every level. Even discovering all the routes to each level was tough as there were secrets. But somehow someone had pulled this off in the weeks after launch, on a Toys R Us machine, before guides to the game came out, before gameshark existed !!!

I may say Goldeneye was pretty intuitive to play, since you can somehow beat most of the levels by trial and error, like when you press B instead of Z with the bomb defuser on Frigate. I'm quite sure I failed both Surface and Surface 2 a few times and that it took a while to figure out how to escape the jail in Bunker 2. Statue was the first real obstacle for me, because I had no idea what to do there either. It happened by chance that once I went around Janus' statue and it triggered Trevelyan. It probably took a few more attempts to realize I had to stay unarmed while he was talking. More or less the same luck I had when I unlocked Drumstick in DKR. For sure I didn't realize that one frog was different, I just randomly ran the good one over :D

Oh boy do I love these complex childhood memories for N64 games! I was at just the right age to have some myself and hear from the kids in the schoolyard about them too! Some of my faves are: Banjo-Kazooie: - I distinctly remember that if you beak-bombed into the big portrait of Gruntilda in Mad Monster Mansion that she would erase your save file (or threaten to). - Also in Mad Monster Mansion, a ghostly hand (similar to the Wallmaster in OOT) would grab you if you stood around for too long in indoor areas. GoldenEye: - I seem to recall entering in a cheat code in multiplayer that let you play as M as well as a cheat to unlock Runway as a multiplayer level. - You could enter the engine at the end of the Train level. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: - There was a hidden grotto in the Market as an adult, you had to stand in front of a building and play a song on the Ocarina for it to open. - There was a location in the Great Deku Tree where you had to come back to with the Lens of Truth later in the game to find a secret item. Mario Kart 64: - You could land on the ferry and stay on it in DK Jungle Parkway if you timed it correctly.

Okay I am a bit late to the party but here goes. I had DK racing as a teen and after I had beaten it I lent it to my little brother and his friends to play as I often did, I remember they were stuck for over a week trying to beat the mentioned wizpig level and I even recall them asking me to do it ( which I refused because 1. I was an ass, 2. I used to say you'll never get better if you don't do it yourself and 3. I was too busy doing my own thing). One day I was downstairs and I hear my brother and his mates whooping and laughing so thought I would see what they were up to. When I walked in his room and asked what's happening my brother said " we beat pigman" I was like cool which one of you did it. My brother pointed to my little sister ( who was 2 years younger than he was) . Obviously I was like no way. ( she was terrible at the game and couldn't win basic early races) then my brother's friend said " she did it because pigman got stuck" . I just brushed it off as a glitch and forgot about it. Then I just happened to watch this video today haha.

Love this! Mine was on Gameboy and was Pokémon Blue. Brand new game wrapped in plastic but when I started the game it had continue or new game. In curiosity I picked continue and it put me in a town that I never seen or found in a normal playthough. Every direction I chose to walk after 2 or 3 steps a npc would stop me and walk in from off screen and say something like “help a wild geodude is chasing me!” Then Boom a battle starts and a over levelled geodude wiped my team of 2 Pokémon. I can’t remember which Pokémon I had but I do remember that none were starter Pokémon. After dying to the geodude over and over I just started a new game. After beating everything and going everywhere I realized and never saw this small town / wild geodude that’s not in a cave like normal, but in the town close to a house. Oh and my sister got Pokémon red when I got blue and I watched her open it, start playing and she had no continue on her game. Only new game. It was my favourite game as a kid but that random continue was always something I remembered.

I have a super vivid memory of playing a demo of OOT in a Target before the game came out that featured a really weird Lost Woods, outside the entrance to the Forest Temple. It had a bunch of characters hanging around on top of the bushes, weird minigames to play, some character to talk to for switching between young and old link, and weird debug-esque things you could do, like talking to a character to spawn some monsters in a little arena. I remember playing it for an hour or so while my parents shopped, and I also distinctly remember hitting the entrance to the forest temple as a kid and remembering that demo, and looking around to see if I could find any remants of the demo. All the ladders, characters, and other oddities were gone. Can't find a single thing about this weird demo I played online anywhere at all, though.

I have one but I don't know if it is as interesting as some of the ones in the video, but I played Mortal Kombat 3 a lot as a kid, had it on the genesis. My main was Sector, mainly because I would spam the automatic missiles. I was fighting Cyrax, and shooting missiles, and Cyrax got me and was about to perform the fatality where he explodes himself along with you. The thing was, my one missile was still active, and ended up hitting him during the animation of him pressing buttons. He got knocked back, stood still for a bit and just did his "I win" pose, and all my character did was stand there dizzy still. Unfortunately, no one was around when it happened and I don't have it recorded, but I'm sure someone had something similar happen. Also fun fact: I didn't know how to read at the time and I thought the characters name was "Vector" because of the sega genesis sound not being so good with speech.

I vividly remember this one N64 game I played at a kiosk near where I lived back in the day, the strange thing about it was the year the kiosk was there, it was definitely after the 64s lifespan was up in the early 2000s, and the fact it seemed like an unreleased game, a hack, or maybe a Japanese only game (despite it being in English) as I have yet to see it again, perhaps someone here knows which game I am speaking of, I remember it being called "Pongus Quest" or "Pongus's Quest". As much as it sounds like an RPG it was not, rather it was like a life simulator game where you walk around and speak with characters after you leave your home. I say "life simulator" as it reminded me of the original Animal Crossing although much more boring with seemingly not a whole lot to do. It was not very memorable for me, which I suppose that is due to me only playing it for around twenty minutes at the kiosk inside this little game store my father would take me to. I can't find anything online about this game which leads me to believe it's what I mentioned above, either a Japanese exclusive game or some kind of demo for a game which was not released, the quality of the game itself was questionable so think of that what you will. Here's a little of what I remember. When you start the game and leave what I assume is your characters home you have four directions you can go with some sort of salesman on this split road which oddly is some sort of shop where you change the color of your boots. Your character itself is cartoonish but the aesthetic of the game is overall realistic looking aside from the characters. Also it is raining and dark out when you start the game, I don't know if that's randomized or scripted to do that. Does anyone remember a game like this? I'd personally like to have some memories flown back into me and see footage of it at least.

I got two N64 related stories. One day as a kid I decided to start a new file on Super Mario 64, the intro played normally up until the pipe that Mario starts from emerged from the ground, at which point the game started chugging at about 1 fps and the sound got screwed up. I got to watch Mario slowly slowly jump out of the pipe, land, fall over and die. It then played a very slow Bowser laugh with the red game over screen before kicking me back to the Title menu. At this point the game started functioning normally, but there was no save file on the one I had initially chosen. In Star Fox 64 I managed to get under the level in Zoness, I passed under one of the low bridges while holding R, knicked the water, panicked over adjusted and hit the bottom of the bridge, panicked again and flew strait into the water, then did a barrel roll at what I assume was the perfect timing to break the push back you normally receive from the water and was allowed to freely fly around in a black void underneath the level.

The first bit about Mario 64 not saving after getting a game over on a file with no stars is technically true - the game doesn't actually write to the file until you get a star, so if you boot an empty file and reset, you won't see a file with 0 stars, you'll just see a blank one. Not sure about the rest of the story - seems like some sort of rare cartridge-tilting-related bug? I dunno how plausible that would be though.

When I was 8, I remember going to the house of skulltula in OoT and I wanted to kill the Skulltula guy in the middle. He tracks you at all times so you cant get behind him to attack. I discovered that if you hit him front on he swings from side to side and that allows you to get behind him. Once I hit him, the game started glitching out pretty significantly I went outside the house of skulltula and ended up on the roof. My memory of what exactly the glitching was is hazy but I remember it was so significant that I thought that the Skulltula guy had cursed/corrupted my physical copy of OoT for trying to kill him. I promptly reset my N64 and restarted the game in the hopes that my game wasnt permanently corrupted.

Out of curiosity we upgraded it back to A class, and then we noticed that the performance was higher than it's maximum. We did this a few more times, and then before we knew it we had a Lotus Elise in the X tier, something that should have only been possible for a total of 3 cars in the game.

I eventually used my love of N64 games to learn Japanese to JLPT N2. Much respect to everyone who used video games to learn a foreign language! Its insane to think now that even big games such as OoT had to come with small manuals in Spanish and Italian because there was no money for translations! As for Glover 2, it's being worked on by Ozidual a hacker who has helped bring many translation projects to the N64 such as Getter Love, Shiren The Wanderer and Mareel 2. So I am sure we will see Glover 2 in cartridge form someday!

There's a rare bug in the N64 console itself. It happens, I would guess less than once per 10,000 times you turn the console on. It will start up at half-speed. The video signal is distorted, looking like an VCR playing a blank tape (old enough that it doesn't just show a blue screen). The sound is slowed down, which also reduces the pitch. Otherwise the game works as normal, though you can't see it. (I've wondered if you could extract a usable signal from the slowed-down signal that it generates?) I've experienced it twice; once with Super Mario 64 and once with Pokémon Stadium. Both of those start off with a character speaking, so it was immediately clear what was happening. I just turned it off and on again and it worked fine. I also read a comment online back in the day where someone experienced the same bug with Ocarina of Time. They had no idea what it was, and thought the system was haunted... it turns out if you play the opening of OoT at half speed, it sounds _extremely_ creepy. The hoofbeats become a heartbeat and the whinnying becomes creepy laughter, and the music is just eerie. Unfortunately there was no way to respond to the comment. For years, I thought this glitch might be so rare that only the two of us had ever experienced it, but there are a few clips from Twitch streamers who've seen it too. - As far as glitches that only I remember and might not have really happened, I have one for Super Mario RPG. I replayed that game several times when I was a kid, and on a few occasions, I distinctly remember the game "giving me a break" or screwing up its math. It only ever happened in the first few areas, before the first star. I'd take damage, but then I'd look at my HP and it would be more than it should be. Not at or above maximum, but there were a few cases where a hit that should have killed me instead left me with a fair bit of HP. It was as if, sometimes, the game would _add_ to my HP when it was supposed to subtract. Since the HP isn't displayed during attack animations, it's possible I just didn't notice that it was higher than I thought to begin with, but I clearly remember cases that shouldn't be possible. Having 30 max HP, taking 12 damage, and then noticing I have 20/30 HP. That would only be possible if I had 32/30 beforehand. Now that I think about it, maybe I was just misreading the damage numbers on my crummy old TV? Or maybe those numbers are sometimes inaccurate?

I've got a good one that I've never seen replicated or talked about before. Me and my brother were playing Halo 1 on the og Xbox sometime in 2003 on the mission The Maw (I was too young so I always just watched). We'd just gotten to the part where the sentinels show up. Mid-fight, he shot a sentinel point blank and his gun disappeared. He then tried to fire at the next enemy and instead of a steady stream of bullets, a yellowish orange beam was firing out of his face! He had picked up a sentinel beam! There wasn't a weapon model of anykind and the crosshair was just the default ' x ' Super weird, we had footage of it on one of those old Nokia camera phones which has since been, lost sadly :( Would love to see it replicated. My only current explanation is a wayward quantum space partical interfeared with the console's circuitry and caused a memory leak 😆

sadly my only weird gaming memory was from me playing lego starwars 2 on the DS when i was 8. i had an r4 game cartridge that i got from a family friend. it had lego starwars 2 as well as some cheats that came with the hack card. i remember experimenting with many cheats. They were things like enabling all the levels (including a test level that i explored) and character customization which would sometimes create glitches in the char creator. I remember after a certain point one of the final levels would no longer load and just crashed the game but i don't know if that was just the general unplayable jank that game had. After this next point, I never played the game again. one day I was home alone playing ds and i decided to try opening a local wifi co op game most likely with cheats on. i remember sitting on the local setting just imagining how cool it would be if one of my neighbors was playing. Suddenly a player joins. in the cantina with me was general grievous but he had the yellow lego head with no face. I remember him walking around in a disturbingly human manner, walking around and stopping in front of me to stare for long periods of time. After this long it goes a little hazy but i strongly remember the textures around where a face would be becoming a pixelated mess of static. After this I turned my ds off and realized how the sun was going down and i was all alone in my dark house. I turned the light on and just contemplated what had happened. after that day, i barely touched the game. That shit scarred me for life.

I have a memory of something related to Mario Sunshine. And I wonder if this is actually true or not. That's a vague memory of mine. The level started on a wooden platform on the water. With bamboo pillars and a straw roof. It wasn't very big, if we laid Mario on it, it would be 4 or 5 Marios wide and long. there were a few small floating platforms on the water in front, and after that I don't know what the rest looked like. I remember finding it hard, but I can't remember anything more. Ah, yes, launching the level was like the others, you select a sun before starting the level. The shade behind was red/purple with flashes of sunshine. I don't know how I got to this place. I'm sure I've been there 2 or 3 times (maximum). I replayed the game a few years ago and tried to pay attention to that in particular, but I couldn't find that location. I may have stupidly missed it and in this case my comment is useless. But if anyone knows what I'm talking about and has pictures, that would help me a lot. It's a memory that I've had with me for over 20 years, and even if it's not exactly the subject of the video, I took the opportunity to throw a bottle into the sea haha.

When I was lil', I remember cartridge tilting my golden eye game because I thought it would be funny. It wiped the entire save, which sucked because I bought it used and the previous owner was the one who unlocked everything... Nothing really unusual I remember as a kid, but there was something in Legend of Zelda that happened a couple months ago that was funny. The games are getting old so I guess they're prone to more glitches. I was staying up late keeping my husband company while he did some late night work, so to bide time I popped in Zelda and was running through the shadow temple. I killed a gold skulltula and grabbed the token, but the text was all jumbled up. After hitting ok, a loud screech blasted through the tv and Link flopped on the ground backwards off screen, crashing the game. It's never crashed like that before, but funny it happened in the spookiest level at 3:30am.

We fucked around on the SS Anne, until we lost to one of the many trainers, blacked out, and woke up at the Pokecenter(My fault), and when we arrived at the Dock, the SS Anne was gone. I know what you're thinking...false memory right? We were playing this in 1997 when all we had were rumors to go off of. I don't have a false memory of catching Mew under the truck, finding Pikablu in the Safari Zone, unlocking the secret HMs, etc etc etc. And I can promise you my brother and I tried to do all of those things, and so much more. We didn't even TRY to stay on the SS Anne, it just happened. I've tried several dozen times over the years to recreate it, to make it happen again, even cheated my way onto the SS Anne after it left...but nothing has ever worked. I asked my brother just a year ago if he remembered getting stuck on the SS Anne, and he remembers it as well, all these years later.

the intro, yes exactly. i had a memory of sneaking out into the living room early morning and playing with our toys with my brother and sister when i was like 4 or so. only when i grew up more and thought more about that memory i discoverd it was impossible for that event to take place for various reasons. This has been my first and only experience with false memorys which i know now are documented. interesting stuff.

As a kid I was 100% sure I had a special cooy of Ocarina of Time as there were save files with weird names on it. And they existed when I first got the game. I had to delete one to start my own. They were made up of random numbers and letters and were quite long. It was my first video game of this kind and I progressed really slowly. Also I played with my father a lot. Some day, when I played alone, I dared to look into one of the other save files, which I previously didn't want to open, as I didn't want to get spoiled or break my cartridge. The random letters looked really menacing.😂 One was in the Fire Temple and the other one in the Shadow Temple. I had no idea what was going on and quickly closed them again. I wrote down the names, as I thought they might be cheat codes. However testing them on a friends cartridge did not give any results. From then on I was sure I had a special cartridge, as I knew my parents purchased the game new for my birthday. However in recent years I believe more and more, that my father might have played on his own and didn't always want to wait for me to figure out all the puzzles and might also habe wanted to be prepared for potentially scary stuff and prepare me for it while playing. Maybe he didn't want to tell me and typed random letters instead of his name or it happened because he was just bad at menus and just spammed letters until the cursor defaulted to confirm the name. I'll never know because he sadly isn't alive anymore but I must say it was curious that the save files never changed. I even played around with them again when I recently sold my childhood cartridge for a complete in box one (because mine wasn't in the best shape and my parents always wanted me to throw away the boxes) for what has now become a big Zelda collection. Nothing had changed. The exact same spawns, random names and on the new cartridge (same ROM version) entering the names just created a regular new save with an awkward character name. 😂 So I'm trying to ignore this, although (as a Zelda fan neck deep in all kinds of stories surrounding the franchise) it crosses my mind from time to time...

I don't think this one is as interesting as the ones in this video, but here's one that has gotten me a few times when I was a kid. There was a glitch in Ken Griffey Junior Baseball for the SNES where if the ball was hit in an exact spot (foul ball to left field) in the 9th inning to end the game the CPU would run through the wall and somehow "catch" it, ending the game. But the problem was that if this happened, the CPU player wouldn't come out of the wall and the game would freeze on the animation of all the players running off the field, softlocking the game. A childhood friend and I used to play this game every single day trying to complete a full 162-0 season with the Mariners. We used to trade off innings, passing the controller back and forth. We were right around 80-0 when we had an absolute monster of a game -- Griffey had a few home runs, Buhner had a couple, even Tino Martinez had a couple. I think we hit about 15 home runs in that game. Then this glitch happened and the CPU we were playing against caught the final out "out of bounds." We waited about 5 minutes to see if it would fix itself, but we ended up having to reset. When we got back to the main menu to continue the season, we were prompted with a menu that simply said, "Start New Season." Whatever happened in this glitch wiped our 80 game save file and we were absolutely crushed. We started over from scratch as the Cubs, but it just never felt the same after that and we never finished our 162 game season.

So the GoldenEye story minded me of one of mine. I distinctly remember when I was about 5 or 6 (1998-99) my cousin taking me and my brother to the movies to watch Lord of the Rings the two towers. I remember driving us, going into the theater, sitting down and watching the intro and falling asleep at some point and waking up near the end. I even remember thinking that this movie was so long. Anyway, sometime around 2005 a buddy was talking about it and I was like yeah I watched it a good while ago and he said there was no way because it was only a couple years old. Sure enough it was. Not sure what happened tbh and I'd usually chop it up to bad memory but I still vividly remember the experience but neither my brother or cousin recalls it although I didn't ask my cousin for a long time after that since we don't keep in touch. Super weird.

This story I can attest to! It was a bit after this era. I was playing Pokémon Mystery Dungeon explorers of sky for the DS. I would beat the game and grind it out, then restart it for fun just to be immersed in the story and find new dialogue again and again! One day, I set up my game to be deleted. I realized a bit too late that I had changed my mind about deleting *this* save, since I really liked the Delcatty Pokémon setup I had. I did what nobody should ever do, and shut *off* my game *WHILE* it was deleting, saying not to turn off the power! I turned on my DS, and went into the game, expecting my file to be gone since I did it towards the last half of the waiting period for deletion (I had it memorized by this point.) Surprisingly, it was still there. All my Pokémon I recruited and items and everything. No issues! Until I went into a dungeon… All the items that spawn on the floor were replaced with Poke. The money currency for the game. They weren’t like outrageous amounts or too small, like normal money pickups. The stores were the same, my bag was the same, everything was the same, but the items that dropped in dungeons were all changed to money. I deleted my game a bit after I played again due to being kinda disappointed I couldn’t get items, and started again. I tried to replicate this later on, but I couldn’t get it to happen like it did.

Here's a memory of mine which this video reminded me of: I am from Quebec so I grew up speaking french and didn't learn english until I was like 12, and one of my first N64 game was Goldeneye. I could not read the mission objectives and my dad barely knew any english, but he would always try to pick up some words from the objectives and try to tell me what I might have to do. In the "Silo" mission he knew that a "silo" was basically a cylinder, so he figured I had to "destroy" something that had that shape, since most Goldeneye missions had you shoot at or destroy something lol. So I explored the whole level trying to find something like that only to years later figure out I was in the silo all along, having never seen the movies before lmao Great video, I've always been watching your content since the very early days and love the speedlore streams, keep it up.

I guess I'll share an odd thing that happened to me and two friends. My friends loved talking about ghosts and creepypastas and stuff. One day we were particularly scared due to these horror stories (we were alone in my friends house, his parents were out), and decided to play crash warped on the ps1. We were playing the level were you're chased by the triceratops, and we were very concentrated. Then, the audio glitched and the game crashed, leaving the dinosaur with red eyes for some reason. It was the worst jumpscare, we ran out of the room screaming. Great memories.

i remember having the gamecube version of the zelda collectors edition. it was my first gamecube game and my only one for a long time. so whenever i played majoras mask, i could not figure out how to leave clock town and for me, the whole game was just clock town and a cool cutscene of the moon crashing. honestly, its not hard to believe why id think that. after all, the disc also had 2 "movies" and a 20 minute demo for wind waker, so having a game thats only one town isnt impossible. another one i remember is a ghost in luigis mansion in the trophy room. i know many people had the same memory, but mine is a bit more believable id imagine. what i remember isnt a ghost, i only remember a textbox popping up in the trophy room while its still dark. since it was dark it couldnt have been a boo since i wouldve remember it being a boo. to this day i am convinced it was either a glitch or maybe some leftovers from the game we never were meant to see. this was on the pal version. i know the pal version is different from the us release so id wish people would investigate the rumors not just on the US version. there might still be so many stuff in the pal version that noone even bothered to check and i know many people dont relaize that the pal version had an entirerly different mansion with different enemy locations and harder difficulty unlike the us version where the hidden mansion is almost the exact same.

My friend Mike was convinced that GoldenEye 007 had a 'secret' 21st level. According to Mike , this level was based on the Moonraker movie and was set on Drax's space station, with a boss fight against a revived stronger Jaws. You had to take special steps on Aztec to board the space shuttle and travel to the 'final level'. Thing was, Mike was never very clear on what the special steps to board the space shuttle were. First Mike tried running to the shuttle during the launch countdown, but he abandoned that after dozens of unsuccessful attempts. Next, Mike said you had to beat the level in the target time. After finally hitting the target time and unlocking 2x Lasers cheat, Mike said you had to beat the whole game with the cheat on. Once that didn't work, Mike started trying to beat every target time in the game with 2x Lasers cheat on. Mike never managed to beat Facility 00 Agent with 2x Lasers, and needless to say Mike never rode the space shuttle or unlocked the Moonraker station level.

This is a long read, but I promise you a good time. These are a few memories I have of PC games nobody else has: Story 1: As a kid, I was able to play Heroes of Might and Magic II: The Succession Wars without a disc. I had a Windows 95 computer at the time. When you load the game without a disc, I believe it defaults to demo-mode if my memory is right, however, if you load the game with the CD, and then remove the disc while in the main menu, the game will still run, but more interestingly, the game will sort of get caught in this super slow "time scale" where each action takes a while to process and the sound effects repeat and eventually dissipate, almost like running through a memory conveyor belt. The sounds would repeat themselves every 1.5 seconds and then after about 10, the one that played the longest ago would stop. Certainly was fun to listen to the sound chaos as a kid, which is why I did it so much! Story 2: I played the demo to Disney's Math Quest: Starring Aladdin growing up. Years later, I saw KZitem playthroughs of the full game. I compared the demo to the full version and I found some very interesting and noticeable differences. I must have had a beta or something. Here they are: 1: The demo took place entirely in the dungeon, the creepy dark blue dungeon the player gets sent to by an evil genie. When you play the full game, it's spooky and creepy, but there's music to kinda take the tension away a little, it sounds more mysterious than outright chilling. The demo has NO music whatsoever, and the dungeon theme has just the ambient but without music, so when I heard the gust of wind that plays somewhere in the track, that place became etched in my mind as something actually terrifying. 2: It was also a LOT darker in the demo, could be the old monitor I had but it could also be that the brightness was changed in the final. But what I remember seeing was mostly black darkness mixed with dark blue light and it was TERRIFYING without music since the ambient was still there, and that ghostly "whipping" wind sound. It's a kid's edutainment game, but I remember the demo having some genuine horror in it mostly due to atmosphere. 3: Much of the dialogue in the demo was cut in the final game. What dialogue remained in the dungeon had reverb added to it. In the demo, there were no special effects added. I imagine the dialogue was trimmed due to needing to fit the game on a single CD (700 MB) and audio takes up a large portion of the data. But the demo had all the juicy banter between characters that we older Disney fans love. Story 3: This one contains stories both old and new. It concerns Thief: The Dark Project, a stealth game originally released in 1998. Three things stand out about that game: 1: One the original retail CD of Thief: The Dark Project, there is a folder called testvoic which contains a strange set of voiceover lines, almost like reading out a code. My guess is that it's placeholder reactions used to later fit in AI responses to various events in-game. And it says things like: "Alert 1." "Alert 2, Investigating" "Alert 3, Investigating" "Ow. Took low damage, nearby friends." "Found player, nearby friends, re-acquire True." "Die hard." "Die soft." "Found Missing, nearby friends." "Found Body." And so on. It was voiced by the same guy as the dude that gives the player tutorial instructions. 2: It's been said that the zombie AI in Thief was scripted by Satan. All AIs can be unpredictable but zombies are a gold mine for observing emergent and unexpected behavior. If you mess around with saving and loading, you can cause the Zombies to do interesting things, such as alter how they interact with the world, how aggressive or passive they are, how well they can see, and even do animations that no zombie has ever been seen doing. I've caught one doing this bizarre "self-clutching" animation, almost as if it's processing trauma or in serious pain, which it was never programmed to do, nor have I ever seen this animation before. This only happens (so far as I know) if you hit a zombie as it's rising and them immediately quick save, then quick load. I have a clip of this behavior recorded in the act. 3: I recently discovered a way to seriously bug out the level loading system by fatfingering quick save and quick load. At first, this was done by complete accident, but I later found through experimenting that it can be reproduced on each level. If you hit both keys at a very specific time during the level, the game will attempt to start the level before it is finished loading. Anything can happen, and I have footage of playing levels in this strange and creepy half-loaded, half-rendered state. It's a gold mine for bug hunters and it ranks right up there with Mountain King Atari 2600's "Glitch Heaven."

Two cases of really weird glitches that used to freak me out as a child now, that I've grown up I recognize them in speedruns. One in Super Mario World and one in one of the old Spyro games for PS2. In SMW there's that one level Donut Secret 2. I played on an emulator and used savestates, but knew nothing else at the time. I would fool around and fly around with a blue yoshi in that stage, flying over the goal without triggering it and doing other random stuff and suddenly there was a Key spawned in behind the Goalpost. I know there is no keyhole in that stage, completely baffled I savestated like crazy on all slots thinking I've found some super awesome secret, but nobody could tell me anything about it and I wasn't able to search properly due to age and language barrier at the time. Felt as if I had found a holy grail or something hahaha. The Spyro one actually made me quit back then. I played the game and had gotten to only the second or third world or something, no matter what I wasn't very advanced in the game, in the main hub or whatever it is called, I fooled around again and fell through a floor, suddenly being stuck fighting the endboss without any necessary breaths. It was impossible, but funnily enough I could not get out anymore. The savefile would start me right in front of the boss again and I did not know what to do or attempt even. Was very sad, because I enjoyed the game very much until that point. Somewhat recently I've looked at Speedruns, TAS and other Glitchy stuff people do with these games and I've seen them mention and show that off. It felt so good to get that reasurement that I did not make these events up in my head, or misremembered parts, but they really can happen. Though I am a little bit confused as to how I was able to pull them off, even if by accident.
