A Hilarious Gaming Bug (not in GE)

2006: Game Over

The bizarre symptom: You could say that Bubble Bobble Revolution, a Nintendo DS remake of the 1980s arcade classic Bubble Bobble, was a surprisingly tough game. Level 30, for instance, was unbeatable--literally. That was a trifle odd given that the game boasted a total of 100 levels.

The bug: As in many arcade-style games, Bubble Bobble Revolution levels ended by challenging the player to defeat an überenemy, known as a boss. But level 30 had no boss to defeat, and therefore no way to continue to level 31. Months later, publisher Codemasters replaced defective cartridges with a debugged version--and threw in another game, Rainbow Islands Revolution, by way of apology.

So next time someone tells you that your game keeps crashing for them, don't feel too bad.

At least they didn't have to play to level 30 first!
