    ok this is going way back to the sega megadrive, on sonic 3D (yes the crap one) i once got real **** off with the game and slamed my fist onto the top of the catridge, i was rewarded by being sent to a cheat screen with level select and other abilities unloked, ok this i thought was a one off so i did it again and it repaated the same thing, i did this over and voer again untill the catridge fell apart, it worked on my freind cartridge to.

    I once stepped on my playstation while Tekken 3 was in it, suddenly a black dude with an afro started dancing on the screen...

    Found out later is was the end video for another outfit for Eddie, called Tiger or something.

    ohhhhhhh

    2 more fun NS Bugs:

    1) enter commander mode with mines, you can now switch weapons AND USE THEM.
    Change over to your GL and bomb the hive weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (yes this was removed)

    2) stopcomandermode (I don't know the actual comand) but this is the signal that gets sent when you press the red exit button when comanding (was designed b/c the silyl button would mess up every so often in pre 1.0)
    If ussed by a skulk you would become a hybrid, 1/2 Skulk 1/2 marine
    You looked like a marine, you had the HP and AR of a marine you could use WEAPONS like a marine.
    But you were as fast as a skulk and still on the aliens side

    Medal of Honor, Spearhead. In MP before the first patch you could see people through walls if they got even near close to them, it was like a built in wallhack. It was fixed fast though.

    In Vampire Slayer Chapter 5 you would have to type "spectator3" in console and you had noclip.

    HLTV Errors in NS. Until you've seen marines bouncing around and running on walls, Skulks with LMG's grafted to their legs, and Gordon growling with the reckless abandon as a fade, you haven't lived properly.

    Already removed that last time i checked.

    Me and my mate was playing GTA3 on the PS2 with the flying cheat on, and somehow we managed to go through the floor when we landed and was swimming through the ground <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The very best one I had would be either in GTA3 going to the ghost town in the dodo, or dodo flying into the side of a building and going through it. I don't know if the ghost town was a bug or not but it was damn cool.
  • TrevelyanTrevelyan Join Date: 2003-03-23 Member: 14834Members
    the dodo was a blast... only an elite few could fly it... and i was one of them.

    Krazyest thing that happened in one of those to me?

    Flying towards the bridge towards portland, i hit one of the guidewires and fliped over backwards... but somehow PULLED IT BACK under the bridge and flew away... i swear if i were older i would have had an heart attack it was so crazy!

    Two oddities from an early-90's racing game called Stunts (also known as 4D Sports: Driving in some countries):

    1) Play against the computer, but before the race, create a map the computer driver cannot drive successfully. Those of you who have played enough Stunts will know what the AI can and can't do. Then choose this map as the course, and wait for the computer controlled car's inevitable crash. Then drive straight at the burning wreck of the computer's car, and witness your car become a plane. Once or twice I've managed to circulate the entire map a few times before the kinetic energy ran out and I crashed to the ground. Absolutely hilarious on replay <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    2) The "What goes up must come down" stunt: Build a long, straight road in the track editor. Then place a jump ramp at the end of it. Right next to the entry ramp of the jump, place an apartment building (yes, this one's in the toolbox too), so that the course looks like this:

    ___________/[] \________

    Now, choose the Formula as your car and drive at full speed towards the entry ramp. Sometimes when the car is about to leave the entry ramp, the front spoiler will get stuck in the apartment building, and fling the car straight up to the sky. The only problem is that unfortunately the map doesn't cover space, so gravity still effects the car, and it's a long way doooooooooooown....

    Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3. I somehow got myself stuck on a rail. Like any gamer would do, I started mashing the controls <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> . What do you know...it started counting these mashing as tricks and combos! Before long, I was raking in tons and tons of points, In a combo whose name was long truncated. Eventually, I tripped out and fell and lost all those points <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I once found a bug in DoD right after 1.0 came out where if you go on a server or map where a certain class is limited, and you choose random, then keep choosing the limted class until you respawn, you would respawn as an untextured model with no weapon. Pretty useless, but cool.

    Gran Theft Auto 3

    It was the one car that resembled a Viper.

    I was in Town 2 and going insanely fast on the road. I move to avoid a car, but I wasn't able to move back fast enough and I hit some small wall barrier thing on the other street and my car suddenly goes THROUGH it and goes UNDER the world.

    It was all black and I saw the town above me. I did like 10 front flips and fell for like 20-30 seconds before I spawned back up. I was laughing through out the entire thing. Too bad that will probably never happen again and nobody else saw it. lol

    Good times, good times.

    OMG SCINT

    THIS GAME KICKED MOTHER freaking ****!

    I liked hitting the fences and turning into a rocket.

    One time...my friend was playing it and I made a map called "loops" which he played on. He got in the F1 racer and he through some of the loops, but on one of them...he kept looping it over and over and over again. He looped it about 30 times until his car flew off..went straight up in the air for about a minute and crashed right back down. rofl...i want to find this game again...pm if u know where to find it! lol

    Reminds me of what I did once in GTA:VC.

    I flew the plane into a ditch, and while trying to push it back out (by running against it, it was stuck in there) I fell through the ground for about 45 seconds, then respawned back where I was.

    heh, had one happen to me in Halo PC not too long ago...

    me and my brother were in a deathmatch on that ice map with two bases and a bunch of rocks and trees(excuse my ignorance), and i was in a warthog drivin straight at him on a bridge in the center of the map. he had a rocketlauncher, and noticing this at the last moment, i bailed, but too late to avoid the rocket that blasted my warthog. since it missed sorta and hit the ground to the right of me, i flipped over left while tryin to get out. ends up, i jumped right inside a rock. i couldnt tell at first, but when my bro came up to the wreck to see where my body went, stared at me, and didn't even realize i was there, i knew i was inside something. and the greatest part was, i could shoot him but he couldn't shoot through the rock. so i whipped out my pistol and fire a couple rounds into his head and he freaked out, shooting in all directions.

    good fun! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Ahh...Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries. One misson my aerospace pilot got hit in the cockpit and died. I went on to beat the mission and was amazed to find that i could salvage the fighter. Needless to say I used the fighter from then on; it was like a medium mech, only it was a couple hundred meters off the ground. They couldn't hit me! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Once I was in a bunker and an explosion hit the side of it. Instead of being safe inside the bunker the explosion had so much force it teleported me out through the top of the bunker. I sorta stood there ontop of it for a second thinking "what the?" before the next explosion turned the world black =P

    One other time me and my flatmates were setting up an ambush for an income squad (complete with tank support). As I heard them coming I thought I'd move a little closer to the wall inside the house so they wouldn't spot me and suddenly I was no longer in the house... in one tiny step I'd walked through the entire wall and was now sitting in the middle of the garden on the other side in full view of the incoming soldiers. Kinda ruined the ambush really =3

    Another time I got in a helicopter with a friend while the other drove but when we took off I was left on the ground o.O
    The scariest part is my friends could still see me in the helicopter but I was standing up with my head sticking through the ceiling lol.

    There was a moment in CS that was weird too: 2 of my friends were the last remaining people alive, both armed with AWPs. It was Militia and the Terrorist was sitting at the top of the ladder thingy to the left (CT's left) of the house. The CT ran up the ladder and surprised by seeing the T waiting for him he pulled the trigger just as the T did, the gunfire was point-blank range with no chance of missing... but something happened!
    All of a sudden there was the weirdest noise you'll ever hear; it was like a gunshot wrapped in itself and warped and echoed all at the same time. They both stared at each other complete unhurt for a second before the CT ran down the ladder and began typing 'What the hell just happened?'. The T didn't type and we were quickly greeted with 'Terrorists Win' lol ^^; <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
    yes, god I loved that game though.

    Seriously, most under rated game ever.

    One of my favorite bugs happened when I tried to play C&C Red Alert on my 33.6k modem with a friend. Inevitably, somebody would pick up the phone in my house and disconnect me in the middle of a game.
    I'd exit the multiplayer game and go into Skirmish mode... then I got a box that said "Games are out of sync!" What did this mean? <u>The units and buildings from the multiplayer game were in their same positions in the single player game!!</u> I ended up fighting the computer enemy whose base was floating on water... as soon as the tanks tried to move, they sunk <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Wierd bug indeed.
  • WindelkronWindelkron Join Date: 2002-04-11 Member: 419Members
    Oh, another great bug was on Oni. If you installed the game and it got messed up (happened to my friend) you'd end up with a corrupted version of the game... namely, any attack hitting scenery would shatter it into glass shards! Real fun trying to evade bullets when the entire map is shattering <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> If you fell through the floor, you'd get onto the 'second' floor which was the bottom of the map. You could run through walls that way!
