I don’t know that I’d call these collected glitches the greatest in history — what about sliding up the wall in Double Dragon, or butt-bumping up the long stairs in Mario 64? But they are impressive, and the Mortal Kombat video above is hilarious (explanation: if one player surrenders with a “hara kiri” move, the game gets mixed up and the fighter performs a fatality on himself). The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. video they’ve found actually turns into quite interesting abstract art at the end.
I’m a big fan of glitches in games (Time Attackers abuse them liberally), although I’m more familiar with the old school ones. Do you guys have any favorites? Find video if you can.
By far the biggest game glitch ever was then entire game titled Zelda II: The Adventures of Link. Not only was it a monumental piece of trash, but the game controls where idiotic.
Thankfully, Zelda III: A Link to the Past more than made-up for it! Even today, Zelda III is spectacular and I am sure would sell like mad if released tomorrow using the same graphics etc.!

Sir, I must disagree.

You made a mistake.
That link to a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. video links to the same mortal kombat video you embedded above your article.
Heh – you’re right. I fixed that. but believe it or not, the “URL” link inside the Youtube video was giving the wrong address. What the hell?!
