Ha! I remember being either 5 or 6 when my uncle showed me Minus World and it blowing my mind. That might have actually been my first exposure to "backrooms" glitches like that. What an amazing glitch. It even worked on my combo Super Mario Bros / Duck Hunt cartridge
MissingNo. is another good example. I have fond memories spending untold hours in my favorite game engines trying to break free. The Jak and Daxter series were some of my favorite to break, due to the uniqueness and flexibility of the engine and the weird ways that the chunk loading system could be broken.
Ahh, "Mountain King" on the Atari 2600 was the game for me finding a cool bug. If you bounced just right, you'd soar over the mountain into the glitches far above. Games didn't crash, they just worked with what they had.
Thank you for the reminder of MissingNo!
Takes me back to when I was a child and received a Gameboy Color without any games. I spent months just watching the start up animation on repeat before I got Pokémon yellow.
