"Some games break because of complex bugs… but others? They’re destroyed by mistakes so simple you’ll struggle to believe they made it into a final release. From single-letter typos to impossible jumps, broken menus, corrupted save systems, and flat-out missing code, these hilariously basic errors turned entire games into unplayable disasters. In this video we’re looking at the funniest, stupidest, and most unbelievable “how did this ship?!” mistakes in gaming history."

NBA Jam on The PS1 had it's difficulty the wrong way round!
Outrun on the ZX Spectrum has the had written in reverse!
Kang Fu on the Amiga CD32 wouldn't boot because the BIOS took up too much RAM
Shadow of the Beast on the Genesis wasn't adjusted properly from it's PAL release and ran too fast
The Death and Return of Superman on Mega Drive crashed on the 2nd level!
