* In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|The Legend of Zelda Links Awakening]]'', there was an [[Easter Egg]] where pressing both buttons at once allowed you to fire a bomb attached to an arrow. While not necessary at any point in ''Link's Awakening'''s main quest, Bomb Arrows became an official game mechanic in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess]]''.
** In the original ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', players can flip Link backwards while stabbing with the sword to attack both front and back. In ''A Link to the Past'', this move became officially known as the spin attack, allowing Link to attack in a full circle, and became a staple since then.
** The 3DS version of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time]]'' contains many of the bugs from the original N64 release, such as the ability to enter certain areas that should be locked off to you. The original plan was to fix all these bugs, but many of the developers argued that the bugs were a part of how the game played and as such should be left in. In the end, any glitch that wasn't actively harmful was left in as a deliberate feature.
* ''[[Jurassic Park: The Game|Jurassic Park the Game]]'' replicates the blooper from the original movie where the security camera feed on the computers is just a video file playing in a media player if you look closely enough to see the playback position bar at the bottom. The game has these on live security camera footage too.

Line 146 ⟶ 145:
* A glitch in the Paragon resolution of the [[Loony Fan|Conrad Verner]] side quest in ''[[Mass Effect]]'' (where Shepard gently talks Verner into going home) causes the [[Old Save Bonus]] for ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'' to assume you went with the Renegade resolution (where Shepard threatens Verner into giving up on becoming a Spectre). In ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'', you can encounter Verner on the Citadel, where he apologizes to Paragon Shepard for claiming they threatened him with a gun—he was under a lot of stress.
* In ''[[Dragon Quest II]]'' a character's stats from equipment only updated when the equip menu was viewed or a character leveled up. During certain events, it was possible to exploit this to get the raw attack power of the Sword of Ruin, which has very high attack power but randomly prevents the holder from taking their turn, and having the effect the Falcon Blade, which is not cursed and makes the wielder attack twice. In ''[[Dragon Quest Builders]] 2'', which makes heavy references to ''Dragon Quest II'' {{spoiler|and is actually a dream prison within that game's world}} if you equip the Sword of Ruin and change its cosmetic appearance to the Falcon Blade, the Sword of Ruin becomes a Falcon Blade with the Sword of Ruin's attack power.
* ''[[Cyberpunk 2077]]'' from [[CD Projekt Red]] became infamous for its buggy launch in 2020, but at least one of the bugs was kept and ''highlighted'': at one particular intersection, pedestrians would cross the street at a run to hit -- and go through/into -- a blank wall. With the first bug-fix release, the pedestrians still did this, but the wall is now marked with a graffito reading "Hit Head Here" surmounting what appears to be a rather large bloodstain. And above that is now a sign that reads [[Harry Potter|"Platform 69 3/4"]].
* In the original ''[[Fallout]]'' the Super Stimpak item healed more damage than the normal Stimpak, but would damage the applicant a few minutes later, and if enough Super Stimpaks are used, this aftereffect damage will be unavoidably lethal. Super Stimpaks could be applied to NPCs in perfect health, and their death from this would not be registered as a crime, enabling an easy, consequence free, yet somewhat costly way to kill (initially) non-hostile NPCs. In ''[[Fallout 2]]'' several NPCs have unique reactions to death via Super Stimpak while the usefulness of the exploit's continued existence is controlled by Super Stimpaks being far rarer.
