I "miss" the times when games came in Read only cartridges and cds, with
no option to patch the game. Developers were pretty worried about game
breaking / crashing bugs as once the game released, there was no fixing
unless the game was considered for a reprint. Running into a bug that
destroyed your entire save (Zelda: Twilight Princess Cannon room save
glitch) was reputation ruining.
OR maybe that's all nostalgia bullshit. it's not that games had less bugs, but that the information did not reach further when just a few could afford access to usenet or a BBS before internet became common. Mortal Kombat 3 on snes crashed all the time, and I have heard the Ultimate version was even worse.
