    I came across a video game that had a BUG ID:# note with it, only reason I bought it.

    Microsoft Soccer version 1.0 for Windows 95, released November 7, 1996. Getting this game to work in Windows 10 Creator's Update was fun and I was able to copy DPLAY.DLL from an earlier version of DirectX 2 to the game folder and got the game to launch.

    I followed the steps on the BUG ID and just about fell off my chair. Godzilla drops down from the sky, runs around the field and randomly jumps and makes all the players fall over. Then randomly Godzilla will breathe fire out and burn players to the ground.

    The Gamebar screen capture or video recording doesn't seem to work with this game, once I get that working I'll upload a video / screenshot.

    Edit: Here is some low quality cell phone video.

    Edit 2: Now with monster sized players and Godzilla

    Use OBS, capture that window, change stuff accordingly for bitrate/format/etc.

    Yes the above was all done on the retail CD version of the game. I ended up talking with him again and learned a couple more, in which one worked and the other crashed to the main menu. I'll try again as I have a couple 95/NT boxes here.

    He also said he was the Program Manager for the game and ended up allowing these in the game. The 2 programmers Cliff & Ernest are 2 of the other eggs' codes. Cliff makes super-sized soccer players, almost as big as Godzilla himself and I haven't figured out Ernest yet, seems to just pause it.

    For Godzilla, select Canada as a team, substitute player 12 for 9 and 9 for 1, then once in game type godzilla backwards.
