Back when optical disks were more common mediums for video games
Wasn’t there a GameCube game that did shit like that? Like if your sanity meter got too low the game would mess with you?
Edit: Found it
That game was great! Scared the shit out of me and always wanted to play more.
That’s cool af

This actually happened to me once when I was a kid playing SimCity (I don’t remember if it was 2000 or 3000); The machine, a new but possessed Windows 98 machine, blue screened and ejected the 52x drive without spinning down the CD. So when the tray came out the disc flew across the room like a Lilliputian UFO.
Old school bugs were just objectively better. Software turning mundane everyday items to death threats is the type of action i need in my life.
Imagine if the antagonist in your game messed with the game menu and save files…
The Guardians of the Galaxy game did that, at least a little bit. The game seemingly ends, credits are rolling and then they slowly start to glitch out and some of the names are replaced with the name of the antagonist.
Then the credits crash out and a second bossfight starts. You can kinda see it coming, but it was still pretty cool for them to do that.
Sounds a bit like one of the scarecrow sequences in Batman Arkham Asylum where the game ‘crashes’
;_;
I, too, am a fan of undertale

Tbh it would be absolutely fantastic if a game pulled this off today.
“Did…did this game just burn itself to a DVD-R before wiping itself from my drive? Where did it even get a DVD-R from??? Wait a sec, my PC didn’t even have a DVD drive before today! Why is there a charge to PCRepairGuy on my credit card?! WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?”
This is a mobile game, how did a CD even fit into my phone?!??!
It has always been right beside the printer. Have you never noticed it so far?
Weird, I print PDFs from CD on my phone daily.
I have cds that would fit in that small a space, they were a thing to give out like business cards and were the same foot print, just cd thick
I don’t need that kind of disrespect from software.
