Video Games Glitches by James DeLong

Glitches are pretty hilarious but they are still mistakes. We are going to countdown the top 10 most well known glitches in games, good and bad.

 

10. Action 52 (Action 52)

The whole game is a glitch. 52 games on one cartridge is a recipe for disaster. One example is the Nintendo version of Ooze. The guys who created the game said that whoever get’s past level 5 of Ooze would win $104,000, but it is impossible because the game would freeze at the end of level 3. They thought the Cheetahmen game would follow a franchise of toys, games, and other stuff, but Cheetahmen 2 is even more glitchy than Action 52.

 

9. The Swing set Glitch (GTA 4)

A game this big will come with a few mistakes, and the most famous of these is the swingset glitch. Go to a swingset in the southeast corner of Broker (Brooklyn) and drive up to it and keep accelerating until you get launched into the sky flying towards Algonquin (Manhattan). This glitch also returned in GTA 5, but instead of a swing it is a gate and it is a lot harder to activate.

 

8. Flying Horse (Skyrim)

Skyrim is also pretty big and this glitch is what the fantasy version of the bike from E.T would probably look like. There three ways this glitch can occur, like getting launched off a mountain or the horse jumping for no reason, and (my personal favorite) the horse becoming a pinball.

 

7. Cheetahmen 2 (Cheetahmen 2)
I made a brief reference at the number 10 spot, so I don’t need to go on.

 

6. Round 100 (Duck Hunt)

I guess the developers thought that nobody would get round 100, because hitting the ducks is impossible because they fly so fast.

 

5. Pimp my Wagon (Red Dead Redemption)

This glitch makes old-west wagon tires hop up and down like a lowrider.

 

4. Manimals (Red Dead Redemption)

Another funny glitch involving Red Dead is animals who look like people (like a lady who thinks she is a donkey).

 

3. Bad Physics (Skate 3)

Another game that’s one big glitch is Bad Physics.  The game is pretty good and the glitches are very hillarious, like visiting the sewer by jumping through the sidewalk. I actually had a unique experience with this game. After visiting the sewer, I went up very high and I could not see the ground anymore. My character then fell very fast and he went right through a basketball hoop.

 

2. Under the map (GTA Online or GTA 5)

In GTA Online, there are some spots on the map where you can go under the map. The most well known is at the airport where you use a helicopter or a plane to fly to a wall and you pass right through it and you under the map. Most of the time when you go through these places you will fall and respawn at a place near the glitch. However, there are some that have platforms perfect for killing unaware players.

 

  1. Unknown (GTA 5)

Another glitch on GTA Online it is not named because I cannot think of a name for it. In this glitch, sometimes you have a rare chance to get into water and then fall through all the way to the ocean floor and walk on it. Yeah you will walk underwater and not lose any oxygen. Perfect for killing surprising swimmers.
