10 Hilarious But Utterly Game Breaking Glitches

2. Breakdancing Enemies - GoldenEye 007

GoldenEye 007 has some of the most hilarious glitches in all of gaming. By messing around, you can make James Bond have three arms, make enemies float, or fire tank shells without using the tank.

However, the most hilarious bug is also the most dangerous. If you tilt the cartridge so it's not fully inserted into the Nintendo 64 while playing it, it will causes the characters on screen to contort their limbs and spin around. Tilting a N64 cartridge causes similar bugs to games like Super Mario 64 or Ocarina of Time but the effects on GoldenEye 007 are the funniest as it looks like every character is breakdancing at superspeed. (Perform this bug with disco music in the background for maximum comedic effect.)

Although this malfunction is common knowledge, few gamers have tried it. Inserting a lopsided cartridge into their console can wipe save files, break the game, or brick your N64. If you are curious to see the James Bond characters flop about, it's best to watch it online rather than running the risk of incontrovertibly breaking your console.
