The turn-based strategic video game, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Civilization, is based on building a nation from a small tribe to a world-dꦜominating power one turn at a time, each having its own leaders. One of the series’ most iconic glitches comes from Civilization I, where Gandhi,✅ a peace-loving character, suddenly turns psychotic and begins dropping atomic bombs.

The leaders in Civilization had an aggression rating that matched their real-world counterparts, and Gandhi’s rating was as low as possible. Throu♓ghout the gameplay, Gandhi would always try to win through diplomacy, which resulted in his aggression, at which point he would instantly lose every shred of his sanity.

Many video games have hidden regions/worlds, which are sometimes developer shortcuts or levels that never got finished. However, the original 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Super Mario Bros might just have the most famous one of all, known as⭕ Minus One.

Accessed by clipping through the w𒀰all at the end of world 1-2 and then traveling down the nearest pipe, you get to the glitch level negative one, which in the game’s geography is essentially the world 7-2, but with🍬 one difference: that it has no definitive ending zone and the game loops back upon itself, meaning you are doomed to die here.
