8 Pre-Internet Video Games That Desperately Needed A Patch

This next entry genuinely pains me to talk about, because when it comes to my favorite kart racing games, there will always be a soft spot in my heart for the underrated little scrap rocket that is Jak X: Combat Racing.

It always felt like the little engine that could, smashing onto the scene with an unrefined experience and often wonky gameplay but without a care in the world, and because of this confidence and surprisingly engaging narrative became a regular on my "tell everyone at school about" list.

However much less appealing than the vehicular combat on offer was the sheer destructive power this game could do to your PS2, as if you owned a slim PS2 and tried to play Jak X, for some unknown reason the game would, without warning corrupt your save file entirely! And I don't mean the game data, but the actual save file itself, meaning you could find yourself unable to load the game and also unable to delete the file and start a new one meaning that you'd be permanently locked out of play as the PS2 attempted to read the corrupted file over and over.

So, in an effort to convert the masses on this overlooked little clunker I'd definitely sort a patch for this if I had the power to do so.
