It's fascinating how flawed the [#games](https://mas.to/tags/games) we played as kids were; [#programming](https://mas.to/tags/programming) was primitive, and they couldn't do updates.

In #SuperMarioBros3 the card matching mini-game only has 8 different layouts because of a bug in the shuffling #algorithm

Don’t put hyperlinks in the title, it just types out all the formatting. Also, idk about fascinating.

they’re a mastodon account @ tagging lemmy communities as a hashtag. It’s not exactly their fault the title is borked, because they’re submitting from a different platform.

@schizanon @gaming That’s part of why I’m always surprised at how much people will rail on bugs in games now. I mean sure if a bug makes a game literally impossible to complete, rail away. But half the stuff people complain about are things that when I was a kid would have been treated as hilarious quirks and possibly things vital to the ability to speed run the games.

  • 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
