    I remember renting the Raiden Project disc years ago that ended up having Kileak on it instead years ago. Took me awhile to figure out how it happened back then. Wish I would have bought that disc now when the rental store was selling off all of PSX stuff to make room for newer games.

    I'm surprised that the Dreamcast blank disc launch game epidemic hasn't been mentioned yet.

    Oh man I forgot that. Was it with all launch games or just Sonic Adventure?

    I remember buying Alien Legacy CD in UK (jewel Sierra Originals version) and when i brought it home it didn't work, asked for CD. Quick investigation shown that CD lacks label and exe was expecting AL_CD_V110 label. I just filled that text with 20s in hex and game ran perfectly. Years later someone posted a topic about this issue on VOGONS.

    Released in September 1987 for the nes Double Dribble another sports game for the nes, but one of the most realistic basketball games for its time. I personally am not a sports game fan and have never played this game. Personally I don't think I would get much enjoyment out of it, but it seemed popular enough to garner some sequels Thats not the reason why it made it into the error spotlight, the reason is this.

    Purchased by Tom Cruise from Nintendoage.com from a local video game store for a nice $2.99 he had seen it up on the wall of common games it immediately grabbed his attention. He then asked for it to be set aside while he looked around the game had captivated him. He knew it was something special he knew of other error types never seeing one like this before. I had offered him $30 for it but he rejected my offer and sold it on eBay for $45. This very apparent error is caused when multiple of the CMYK plates become misaligned in this instance its the cyan magenta and black plates which became severely misaligned. resulting in most of the picture being lifted up except the yellow coloring. The gold seal is known as a special color and is applied separately and was applied last

    haven't really done anything with this for a wile so i figured i would post this here too

    Double Double Dribble.

    I've never seen that happen before on NES games. Not even on bootlegs :p
