5. Mow The Creator Down With A Bugged Saw - The Final Fantasy Legend

Square Enix's classic Game Boy title The Final Fantasy Legend concludes with players battling the villainous mastermind known as The Creator.

The fight can be a pain in the ass if you try to do it the "honest" way, and so you might be compelled to just deploy the hilarious Saw bug instead.

Basically, the Saw was designed to insta-kill enemies if their defense was greater than the player's strength, making it useful against regular foes and basically useless against powerful bosses.

However, somebody at Square screwed up big time during development, and this formula ended up getting flipped. As a result, the Saw doesn't do much against normal enemies, but bosses? It's great.

This is especially true of The Creator, as all you need to do is attack them with the Saw once and they'll perish, breaking into pieces without your party breaking a damn sweat.

For anyone feeling categorically outmatched, it sure was a welcome lifeline to see the game through to the very end.
