Strangest glitches encountered in a PCE game?
« on: February 12, 2015, 12:29:15 PM »
anyone have any glitch stories? I have a crzy one.

One time when I was playing Parasol Stars, every world after World 1 had a glitch where all the enemies AND bosses stayed in place. I played about 3 more worlds before I got bored and rebooted the game.

Was this with the official HuCard or flash drive like the Everdrive?

I got my character stuck in the floor sprites in Cadash once. All the enemys on screen where dead, and no respawning...so I had to select+run. It was a flash card, so maybe it's just shoddy HK engineering...since then I acquired a PCE Cadash and beat it twice without any hiccups.

The most exciting glitch I can recall happening is having a game lock up and requiring reboot.

I had a crazy glitch in Parasol Stars where I somehow got 99 lives. Still don't know how that happened.

99 lives or 99 continues?  Picking up the rainbow necklace gives you the continues.

I played Makai Prince or kid drucula, got to a master, jumped into the frame/inside a wall, outside the confides of the game boundary, kept on falling and got stuck at that.
 only happened once

strangely, something similar happened while playing ps3 Tokyo jungle last year, jumped outside the boundary of the game/wall, kept on falling, but I died instantly once I touched something

Not directly related to a pcengine game glitch but still strange ! : I had a permanent glitch caused by a faulty TG16. When i bought my first TG16 back in the days one of my friend got one at the same time and we saw that mine wasn't working normally. Colors where not the same than on his unit (and different than screen shots behind the box), games had weird things happening all the time that didn't on his.

I finally got it exchanged for another one at my local radioshack :)

probably due to inherent fault by the NTSC (aka never the same colour ) signal, partial due to video processor and recipient TV, hence, why NTSC and Multi standard tv have hue adjustment

thus, not really a TG16 issue, could happen to any console
