The best games that bricked consoles
News

A glitchy pastime: when a console’s processor gets stuck in an infinite loop, rendering it useless. The victims of such digital disasters often recall the moment their gaming world came crashing down with a mix of horror and nostalgia. In this list, we’ll revisit some infamous games that caused irreparable harm to unsuspecting consoles. 1. E.T. (1982) – This Atari 2600 classic has become synonymous with the great video game crash of 1983. Its poor quality and buggy code led to millions of units being returned or left unsold, contributing significantly to the industry’s downturn. 2. Dragon’s Lair (1983) – This laserdisc-based game was a technological marvel at the time, but its demanding hardware requirements and numerous bugs made it notorious for freezing and crashing on multiple platforms, including the Commodore 64 and Amiga. 3. Blinky (1985) – This simple-looking Pac-Man clone for the Commodore 64 was actually an elaborate trap waiting to ensnare unsuspecting gamers. Its unoptimized code and lack of error checking made it a favorite among speedrunners seeking to exploit its many freezes and crashes. 4. StarTropics (1990) – This popular NES game, developed by Nintendo’s junior developer team, suffered from numerous bugs that caused the console to freeze or crash, often leaving players stuck in infinite loops with no way to progress. 5. Sonic 3D Blast (1996) – The first 3D Sonic game on the Sega Genesis and Saturn proved to be a recipe for disaster, thanks to its poor optimization, awkward camera controls, and plethora of glitches that could brick the console or cause it to freeze. Which one of these games do you remember causing your console to malfunction?
