10 Iconic Video Game Features That Were Invented By Accident

The original Lara Croft was a pin-up icon for many of the game’s original players. The iconic protagonist wooed her audience with her talents, her nerve, and, shamefully, her triangular chest.

Yet who would have guessed that the most famous breasts in gaming were actually created by complete accident? When designing Lara Croft, the artist working on the character dimensions, Toby Gard, slipped with his mouse. As a result, the size slider for Lara’s chest was accidentally bumped up to a whopping 150%! What cup size would that even be?

When the design team caught onto this mammary mistake, they were delighted, and insisted that the dimensions stayed put. Of course, the question must be asked as to whether Gard’s mishap truly was an accident, or whether he was just having a laugh. Whatever the reason, the decision to keep Croft the way she was certainly ended up an unforgettable one.
